Have a great trip!

We’ll be good.

Can we launch the “Unblock Me” thread after New Years?

 

[levineismine]

@Jeschke you forgot your beloved Ross at US Nationals!
(And C/LD and H/D...)

@alchemy void I support the Unblock me title

 

[Vagabond]

We’ll be good.

The Peltonen clause.

I hope you enjoy/survive the drama to come in the upcoming nationals.

Don’t worry everyone, I’ll contribute to bringing plenty of drama and hysterics over the next 2 weeks!

 

[SmallFairy]

Have fun Bossman! Merry christmas!

Yes, the unblock me-thread!!

 

[rfisher]

Merry Christmas Bossman. I would like to point out that Tsurskaya is one of Eteri's girls, and I'm hoping she makes 3 for the Euro and Oly team. Let the games begin!

 

[Jeschke]

@Jeschke you forgot your beloved Ross at US Nationals!

Edited.
I had no clue this is that early this year.
Slay my hottie, slay!
I can't belive I miss your final ride
#untilthebitterend

 

[Ka3sha]

@Jeschke, have a great trip

You can count on me at HG, I’ll try to get as much info as possible
I have to say that I don’t agree with some of your HG wishes: Voronov for silver

And YES, we need that ‘unblock me on Twitter’ title

 

[Ka3sha]

Let the games begin!

You can’t even imagine how excited I am

 

[rfisher]

You can’t even imagine how excited I am

I hope it's highly entertaining and you have a great time. I pretty much like all the Russians in all the disciplines so whoever wins is really OK with me.

 

[Jeschke]

Ah, found this, and have to post, before I finally really shut up
Hell yeah, that look Schott

I can't find any video to that. 50 Shades of Grey Exhbition?
Next season SP like that please!

Off I am

Pogo posted a pic of her cat. Don’t we have the Monko rule concerning excessive posts of cats.

 

[SmallFairy]

I was going to post about crazy cat lady Pogo! Not much social media lately, and when she finally posts, she's all relaxed in a lumberjack shirt (looking stunning of course) with her kitty. Don't know about the Monko rule, but there can never be enough posts with cats. No way

Schott's bff is moving back home from Oberstorf as he was feeling lonely, missing Norway. (And wanting to go to school+it was totally expensive for his parents). Posted the article, with translation, in the Scandinavian news thread. So....no more gingerbread making or breakfasts? How will the diplomatic connections between Norway and Germany go on from here?

 

[SmallFairy]

Feditchkina is out of senior nationals.
https://rsport.ria.ru/figure_skating/20171220/1130337020.html

With Medvedeva out, that’s now two spots down. I wonder if they will give Trusova and Tarakanova exception and let them compete or if it is too late. It would be a pity to leave the spots empty.

Kitty is out of nationals! NO!! Is she injured? I couldn't read the article very well...
#teamlovebirds

 

[Ka3sha]

She has pulled her groin muscle

 

[SmallFairy]

 

[rfisher]

After all that figuring out how and if she could make it to the finals, and she's out with an injury. True

She has to be on the team after that..
Firstly she broke her leg right at the JWC being first after the short, now this...

And so the mice begin to dance on the table!

Fedichkina's off-ice incidents need to be backed up with heartbreaking performances in competition. Thus far at the Senior level, she has been too good to be heartbreaking. You can, of course, broach this subject again when the cat is back in the house.

 

[alchemy void]

Poor Fedichkina.

cronos27 is going to be devastated.

I can only imagine how Jeschke would reply to this comment.

If Germany is depending on Norway to politik, I’m afraid S/M are screwed in Pyeongchang.

I totally agree with the first sentence, the second sentence I disagree with—for me, she hasn’t been good enough on the senior level to be heartbreaking. Her La La Land LP is a huge miss, in my opinion. If it were a stunning program, I would be much more inclined to throw her on the team.

 

[Vagabond]

Too good, too bad, whatever!

Haha me too. So I'm a bit disappointed Sondre broke the news after bossman went on holiday

Don't worry about politics though. Norway and Germany are alright. Norway and China on the other hand are on terrible terms after Norway gave the Nobel peace prize to Liu Xiaobo, so S/M will be alright
(Can't believe world politics made it into the thread at all LOL)

#TTW threads are the center of the world. There are train wrecks the world over and it's our duty to ferret them out where ever they are.

Russian Nationals:

Men: Samarin getting Higher PCS than Voronov Not that any of them deserves high scores but the agenda is obvious. Will ginger soldier sneak into the Euro Team now?

Paris: Boss should be happy Z&E have a big lead over A&R but the former tend to implode in the long so let's wait.

 

[rfisher]

I prefer Zabijako to Astakhova, but Rogonov to Enbert, so I win whoever goes.
