#TeamTrainwreck 9: Next Splat Station: Pyeongchang

No worries, that is definitely a fake tattoo. I actually don't mind it very much.

GOOD.
(The tattoo being fake part, that is.)

I guess you have seen this?

Duh!
Needs rewatching, of course.

The best thing amongst those posers is cool Bychenko just in the water with a hot chick!

@alchemy void, you avatar........

Well thank you!

By the way guys, in case you haven't heard, this autumn, brooches are the shit!

My choice was between this teary eye message or that pic

 

[SmallFairy]

I luuuuurve Bychenko, he's the cutest!

 

[alchemy void]

Haven't watched anything yet, can't wait to see both Sima and Anna

WOW. This was absolutely stunning. Watch this back to back with Pogo and there's a huge difference. Pogo is tight, thinking through everything and not really expressing the music particularly well. It's not terrible by any means, but Konstantinova was on a completely different level. So assured, tons of speed, captures the mood and feeling of the music really well, and just so easy to watch. This might be my favorite ladies performance of the season so far! (Well tied with Leonova's Finlandia LP ).

Tsurkaya also looked really good as well.

I have high hopes for Pogo's Swan Lake, though.

IMO coolest thing is this GIF of Robin in the original Bolero costume.
Ah, memories...

(I'm somewhat disappointed Aljona has favored a more muted approach to costuming in her new partnership.)

Thank you for your generous spirit!

I rather like this one!

Kitty struggled, but remained on her feet and won!
Not wrecky enough to find inclusion here today

Kitty is from Russia and therefore her degree of wreckiness seems more severe than it really is. In any other country except Japan she'd probably be one of the top skaters (including the USA as of right now )

But happy for her regardless. Slay kitty!

 

[Ka3sha]

Finally I was able to watch all the videos from today:

Schott's SP was gorgeous, but her long is kind of
Kitty being a Kitty but I agree that it wasn't trainwrecky enough (and I fear that she won't qualify for Nationals with that....)

Loved Konstantinova! So great that I'm not the only one who enjoy her skating. She has something that captivates me, I like watching her. And that SP is a great vehicle for her
How I missed Pogo Not sure if I liked it yet but the program definitely has potential to be great. The skate wasn't great but I expected much worse outing from her
Nice to see Sima landing jumps, but the program itself is kind of empty

 

[Areski]

Well thank you!

Damn. I hate when people using instagram add 15 hashtags everytime, it's simply lame.

Btw. is it just me or does Mari looks little bit Asian?

OMG you are just too funny

Yay! Kitty! You go, girl!

That whole collection of pictures of Kitty with TTW members past, present and future should leave everyone in no doubt where she belongs!

 

[Ka3sha]

Can't believe that our boy Aliev will debut at GP events this Friday!
His SP to Masquerade is gorgeous, his form back in September was also quite good but that injury... don't know what to expect now

I do!

 

[SmallFairy]

I do!

Especially now when Kitty slayed in Nice...?

#teamlovebirds

 

[Ka3sha]

I do!

Even if you say you do, I bet, you'd still be and after the event

 

[rfisher]

Even if you say you do, I bet, you'd still be and after the event

And we'll know exactly who to blame. It won't be me!

 

[Ka3sha]

Only 113,14 (TES 53,74) for Sakhanovich in the free
Most likely she won't qualify for Nationals

Sima's video

Looks like Pogo has withdrawn..

 

[dinakt]

Pogo is proving with every outing why she is Patron Saint of TTW. A short with great potential, amazing presence but still raw, and then withdrawal.
On a serious note, I worry about her. I am sure last World's drama is very hard to shake off, plus unspecified injuries plus the pressure of Russian Ladies Hunger Games.
Stay strong Pogo, slay!

 

[Ka3sha]

According to Tsareva, Anna's back hurts and they decided to WD before the free. Hope that she will be ok by Skate Canada

 

[SmallFairy]

Oh Pogo... I'm fearing/awaiting the drama of this season so much....

 

[Wyliefan]

It was wise of her to withdraw and take care of it. Hope it'll be okay.

our future two new members ?
Nastya (double ii) and Kitty are such

our future two new members ?

Russia is making it hard for its Ladies to make it onto #TTW. They need Senior-level experience in international competition, and there are so many other skaters competing for those berths! And then when they do get to compete, they are deemed "not wrecky enough."

According to Tsareva, Anna's back hurts and they decided to WD before the free. Hope that she will be ok by Skate Canada

Sensitive Tsareva?

Only 113,14 (TES 53,74) for Sakhanovich in the free

No nationals, no #teamtrainwreck

*Sigh* This is not exactly instilling great confidence in team Pogo as they prepare to move forward. Oh, well, ONWARD!!

Only 113,14 (TES 53,74) for Sakhanovich in the free
Most likely she won't qualify for Nationals

For a brief shining moment, and then


What started out glorious (for these two skaters) has now turned into
