#TeamTrainwreck 9: Next Splat Station: Pyeongchang

[alchemy void]

By the way everyone, happy new year! Bring on 2018, please!

May 2018 bring success and minimal heartbreak! ((((Pogo)))))

(Unfortunately, I've already missed Adoniev who is vacationing (shocking) in Thailand and is currently serenading shirtless New Years greetings on Instagram).

Thanks again to everyone who participates/lurks here. I love that this is by far the least serious thread on FSU, we can fangirl over skaters' social media, keep updated on all obscure skater/"intruder" news, and you guys indulge my questionable taste in just about everything. Cheers!

 

[Laney]

I also wish everybody a happy New Year!
This is by far the best thread on FSU and even if I don´t write here often, I read here nearly every day and enjoy every single post! Thank you for your entertaining!

I think we only have 24 hours to edit thread titles, so I'll wait towards the end of the week to increase the possibility he sees it.

Perfect!
Loooove how we are conspiring

Loooove how we are conspiring

We’ll be good.

 

[SmallFairy]

And:
Happy New Year everybody!!
Nothing beats TTW at fun and snarks, I'm enjoying myself immensely! Me too lurve how we can rant and chill and cry together over the things that really is important in the skating world, and still being totally 'laxed about it

Four hours away here. Have a great 2018 all of you!!

It's a pity we can't add tiny young skaters to the team. There is a US juvenile pair team Stein/Edwards that skated to Pink Panther. First she is a tiny, tiny child and was in a bedazzeled pink velour cat suit that was the cutest thing I've ever seen and her partner's name is Blake Edwards. She even copied some of the Empress's moves. While Daddy is gone, we need a special category for something.

Toddlers and Trainwrecks!

Is that his mom? He's SUCH a good guy!

(Unfortunately, I've already missed Adoniev who is vacationing (shocking) in Thailand and is currently serenading shirtless New Years greetings on Instagram).

It was to say the least to see him post that Instagram is full of people posting half naked photos to get likes, and he thinks he is more than just a pretty face? You don't say babe.

D Gleykh over Adoniev all the way.

 

[SmallFairy]

Is that his mom? He's SUCH a good guy!

He is our kindergarten uncle after all!

Adoniev's propensity to say the same derogatory things about the Chinese in every single one of his posts Instagram is unsettling, to say the least.

Does he say that often? But yeah, his comments sounded really borderline racist.

 

[Vagabond]

I found it in 36 of his most recent posts and stopped counting.

 

[Ka3sha]

Hello from 2018
It seems amazing so far
<3 you all !

Ugh, I had no idea. Good thing I’m totally over him.

He doesn't like China very much because he finds the Chinese dirty, unkempt and "they all look the same" . *cringes* Charming.

 

[Vagabond]

Happy New Year, one and all!

Keep dancing on the table, mice! What Daddy doesn't know won't hurt him!

And may skaters be your only heartbreaks!

 

[RoseRed]

Happy New Year to my favourite thread

 

[Doggygirl]

Happy New Year to all on this thread and to all #TTW members and #TTW wannabees!!! I don't post much but really enjoy lurking. Best thread on FSU!

 

[shah]

Happy New Year, dear TT! I had a very long break from this thread, but it's good to be back .

As I am ill and I decided to stay at home on NYE, I paid tribute to Rika Hongo and a bunch of worthy members of the Trainwreck Team, rewatching Frida after many years and, believe it or not, watching Chicago for the first time . You can guess how difficult it was for me not to sing along or not to visualise these countless programmes (Weinzierl, Schott, Perkova and the list could go on for hours) . However, imho, the "both reached for the gun" song is criminally () underused!

Jeschke as Daddy? Oh dear . I can't wait to see/read his reaction!

 

[Ka3sha]

d!

Me too

Happy New Year aficionados Long may our favorites continue to ride the train. Let Rapunzel's hair flow in the wind. May our patron saint be back on the ice. And may Rukavicin keep some hair as Aliev makes his European debut trying to score that Olympic spot!

Today is also Tsareva's birthday ,btw

Quoting from a thread somewhere in the darkest backwaters of Great Skate Debate:

Verner at 2008 Worlds

No, it was just sad. No camp factor.

Camp factor?!

Team, we have work to do!

 

[SmallFairy]

Some native speaker please enlighten me! How would you explain
"camp factor" in this case? How/where else could this expression be used?

 

[Vagabond]

Susan Sontag explains it all.

Today is also Tsareva's birthday ,btw

I miss her and Pogo so much. I did see Pogo had Instagram story at the gym and a picture of a pair of skates, so I take that as a positive sign.

I wouldn't be unhappy if Pogo did a LaTuk and had that one season and earned herself a World title. If Med wins OGM, it will all depend if she steps away or keeps skating. It's hard to keep that motivation unless your name is Yuzuru Hanyu.
