#TeamTrainwreck 9: Next Splat Station: Pyeongchang

[levineismine]

Perkova is such an idol!
Thanks to my source

Other Instagram important updates were a few days ago LeDuc with a 'I like big bears and I cannot lie' shirt, and trashy gipskyking with 'haters I show you the middle finger' caption

(Both were insta stories so no links available)

Bob's New EX....
I have no words to describe it

 

[rfisher]

I've always had a fondness for minions.

She has never looked hotter!

Fun batshit program. Was it supposed to be a parody of La La Land? (I’ve heard he music but haven’t seen the movie).

 

[Jeschke]

OMG Bob is a star!
Whoever said, she does not belong in here, fools you are!

Not as entertaining as Tsareva and Adoniev but also pretty good: Eteri and her minions during Med's LP

Back to this thread after avoiding any spoilers from COR.

Late thoughts:

Pairs:
Stolbova&Klimov deserve patron saints status.. Their skating and programs are amazing as long as they are not splatting or having stupid mistakes or giving us so much drama with Ksenia wishing she could kill Fedor or herself right there on the ice. They could be multilple world champions by now but their headcaseness is becoming a cronic issue.

I have such a soft spot for Rogonov. He struggled so much with useless Martiusheva and while Astakhova is not all that I wish him to finally suceed. I recognize Z&E are a better pair at the moment but I would be totally happy if A&R get the 3rd olympic spot.

Castelli & Tran: I bet they won't end the season together.

Men:
Until Kolyada's second half of his LP I was thinking. He MUST join TT right now, but then he somehow ended up on the podium with very wuzgifted PCS so he could wait.

Aliev: Best dressed man in a long time. I know Rukavicin is a plus for the team but for his own sake he must leave him as soon as possible. I hope Kitty consoles him very much this week.

Samohin: Speechless. He's Tomas Verner 10x.

Dance:
Unsure about the lyrics for Stepanova & Bukin's liebestraum but that program was very enjoyable. They are hotter than much people here give them credit for.

Shibutanis: a poor man's Fix You. Blah.

Parsons: Can they get a watchlist. There's potential but Always some silly mistakes . and when siblings fail the heartbreak multiplies.

Ladies:
Zhenya's PCS compared to Kostner''s... whatever.

Higuchi is HOT and Sakamoto too damn cute. JPN nationals will be such a tearjerker.

Wish Meite's skating were as exciting as her looks/pressence on the ice.

Boss's Schott: Well, at least she wasn't dead last.

Stolbova&Klimov deserve patron saints status.

How patronizing!

There's only one patron saint, and it's Pogorilaya!

 

[SamuraiK]

How patronizing!

I was raised in a catholic environment. We have patron saints for everything.

 

[SamuraiK]

I would like to make a proposal that we consider applying the Leonova exception rule for Stolbova/Klimov. I KNOW @Vagabond will come a throw the rule book at me, but really, the time has come to consider it!

See, Im not the only one !! , Stolbova deserves some special recognition..

 

[SamuraiK]

Panin Memorial:

1. La Tuk 204.81
2. Gulyakova 204.60
3. Perkova 193.24

A solid 5 triple + two 2A LP from Leonova. She just needs to work on some of her spin and footwork levels. I want top ten at nationals this season! You can do it!

Im glad you have lowered your expectations and not waiting for PErkova to make olympic team anymore

 

[Vagabond]

See, Im not the only one !! , Stolbova deserves some special recognition.

Stolbova is not a trainwreck, she's a tragic headcase. That's special enough!

 

[alchemy void]

I still hold out hopes for Europeans and/or Worlds alternate.

See, Im not the only one !! , Stolbova deserves some special recognition..

Stolbova is amazing and my favorite pairs team right now (sorry Aliona), but she needs a bigger trainwreck run this year to get on the team. Also a K&C meltdown would help.

There's only one patron saint, and it's Pogorilaya!

Speaking of our patron saint, Pogo debuts at Skate Canada this week. Let’s just say my expectations are low.

 

[Vagabond]

I fear that the soft bigotry of low expectations is returning, and for the sake of America's children, that is something we cannot allow.

Men:

Dima... sigh. He and Nic Nadeau are two of my favourite men.

Dance:
Parsons: Can they get a watchlist. There's potential but Always some silly mistakes . and when siblings fail the heartbreak multiplies.

I love this thread and I love them and I want them far far away from here. They did have that lift issue at Junior Worlds where she almost poked his eyes out, but they still got the title. I've only really followed them since JW though, and they had the lift problem there, Michael splatted at Lake Placid, the twizzles here... I don't like that you have a point

Also, I guess we can add Michael to the list of guys to send to twizzle bootcamp. He can hang out with Poje.

 

[Vagabond]

There something quite disturbing about wanting someone to be on the Team. People should want skaters to skate their best every time.

Our mission here is to identify those who are trainwrecks, to appreciate them, to root for them, and to withstand the inevitable heartbreak.

 

[Jeschke]

He struggled so much with useless Martiusheva

Consider this as your first official warning

Castelli & Tran: I bet they won't end the season together.

Possible, I bet the Japs pair is done before!

Aliev: Best dressed man in a long time.

The SP outfit is stunning. The FS ' one is good, wished for something else, more flattering.
Side note: Aliev & Kolyada must be the only russian skaters not heard of illusion fabric until today

Samohin: Speechless. He's Tomas Verner 10x.

+puppy fat (I am only quoiting german eurosport )

They are hotter than much people here give them credit for.

I am willing to ignore her and focus on him

Parsons: Can they get a watchlist.

No!
Speaking of watchlist: Both, ladies (Kuchvalska) and dance (Hurtado/Khaliavin) are able to switch as of today. I guess Galustyan is taking Kuchvalska's spot. Objections? New proposals? Dance would remain for me.

Wish Meite's skating were as exciting as her looks/pressence on the ice.

Boss's Schott: Well, at least she wasn't dead last.

I guess, this was the nicest I could expect of you

@SamuraiK great summery!

 

[Jeschke]

I love this thread

All are welcome to join the waggon of heartbreak

 

[Jeschke]

Stolbova is amazing and my favorite pairs team right now (sorry Aliona), but she needs a bigger trainwreck run this year to get on the team. Also a K&C meltdown would help.

A bigger? Finlandia and that wasn't enough?
Don't get me wrong, are and I will deny entrance but these 2 outings were pretty much totally

Either way: let's end the S/K discussion; we all know they will skate clean and lights out in Korea and will medal! That's what's gonne happen!

 

[Jeschke]

Good news, Murashov makes his senior debut at Merano Cup mid-november!

I will be happy if only she finishes the competition....

I will get to see the famous shirt!!!!

I' ok with H/K staying on the watch-list, especially considering they have Minsk Challanger this week
The problem with Galustyan is that she said that CoR was her last como of the season..... she isn't retiring right now but want some time to think and to improve

 

[SmallFairy]

For Kolyada, he's cute as a button, but he needs to go back to his voidy self if he wants to stay in the posistion of Viking heartbreak guy. Right now he's on route away from our team (good for him I guess...) and it's not because he's landing stuff....

 

[Jeschke]

The problem with Galustyan is that she said that CoR was her last como of the season..... she isn't retiring right now but want some time to think and to improve

She said what?!?
How could I have missed!?

 

[Bellanca]

Boss's Schott: Well, at least she wasn't dead last.

Now that's what I call progress!
