This really is the most pious thread on FSU.

Everbody is two degrees from Morozov. Everybody.
Stealing this from Ivana Komova on Facebook:
Jorik Hendrickx getting some sun in NYC!
The best part is that it definitely got the attention from our #TTW favorite in the comments!

I'm not going to be able to look at Jorik the same again.Stealing this from Ivana Komova on Facebook:

You know, some people do care more about the skating than about the look.And folks...#finnboy...from TM2, to Davankova, to Ilinykh!
If you have the looks, who cares about the skating?
Folks, it's getting serious from now on in here!

HOF-nomination #2:
Anna Rechnio, Poland
I tried so had politicking Anna in last year, but no luck. I wish I had my notes from a year ago...
BUT....What's with those Polish girls with such great technique, all the triples, but being unable to fulfill their potential. One program good, you could count on the other being disaster.
Why is Anna HOF-worthy?
She was just SO good! Her jumps was huuuuge and textbook, speed and power jaw dropping, and she came from a smaller country skating wise, so no way she was gonna get anything for free. Judges seemed ready to give it to her several times, but no, she couldn't hold it together. Finally, at worlds 1998, she was second after the sp, but let go just enough in the fs to loose the medal, ending up fifth.The year after, she was held back by the judges at worlds, and 2000 proved a disaster at Euros, and she was never back after that season. What could have been! Anne was just the epitome of heartbreak Her programs were lovely (Gone with the wind, Sleeping beauty), her styling awesome, (love the 90ies hair!), I can't wish for more really. And those falls when she fell....ouch!
BTW holiday and the sunny garden has taken it's toll and I didn't post like I said I would... I've been wrapped up in old YT during the evenings, and I realize I might be a tad biased wanting to bring all those OES-ladies from the 90ies into HOF, but seriously...they are all so special and dear to my heart. And re:Marina Kielmann. She really is worthy, but I agree maybe not totally up there as HOF caliber. But don't forget:
* Her crazy hair, in different styling and cuts, that finally calmed down in a Sophie Moniette-like do in her last season.
* She came from roller skating, but transferred so well, no Lipinski-axel
* She actually has a silver medal in pairs from German nationals 1981 (says Wiki...)
* She had all the wild outfits and music choices her era could wish for. She even kept that makes-me-wanna-die-rhumba FS for two seasons.
* She was totally unable to hold it together for a whole competition. Ups and downs and a few Euro medals.
* She had a 3t3t, not many ladies did that in the early 90ies. (No, I'm not gonna nominate Kulovana)
* And then...in her last Euros...at home ice in Dortmund....she managed to botch the sp worse than usual, ending up 13th. When she came back in the free, in quite a classy dress (again, Moniotte...), she skated to digital Bach, then slow, jazzy music composed especially for her and ending with MARINA at full speed, she landed everything, including the 3x3, holding the speed up, being totally on fire and keeping the rink on their feet, clapping with most of those 4 minutes. I watched it again just now and I have to admit I was a bit teary eyed (yup, sappy viking I am, you know) and really happy for her. To go out like that, in your last season, in front of your home audience. She deserved that, long career, oldest competitor (and the tallest, at 1,72 m).
All hail Marina Kielmann, she won't make it to HOF, but damn, do I love her
Yet again, @alchemy void, you have ignored my nomination of Tatiana Malinina.
I also nominated Gizmo before you did!
Being Uzbek is one of the friggin' Qualities!
I need a livestream of @SmallFairy when Cohen with 3 worlds medals and olympic silver around her belt is knocking out Abt of the HoF

I already have my favourite trainwreck program of the season. Starr Andrews with a ballsy 3A splat, cheesy 1980s Whitney Houston and over the top, dramatic, divaish emoting.

I'm all for adding Hair as Quality #12, but let's give it a week and see if we have a consensus.
WTF? Of course hair is a quality! how could i have missed that post?!Sorry, @alchemy void, but there's no consensus on this one, just a collective
Next time, try electioneering.

I knew that would get your attention.
12) Hair - NEW
#devilsapprentice#sneakypressman
What an amateurish question!So, does hair also include those who have none? Such as Mari's ex?
