#TeamTrainwreck: Hall of Fame 2018

[Jeschke]

Hi everyone,
time to get some new members in.

Who broke your heart time and time again, over the years? All the potential in the world but never fully realized? Who had the potential to rock one day and splat the very next? Fun to watch, maybe a little voidy? If you answered yes to those 4 questions, your skater belongs in the #TeamTrainwreck Hall of Fame!

Only one skater across all disciplines will egt elected. Chose your vote wisely!

Initially nomination-status-assured-Sofia-Biryukova (who had tremendous input in creating #TeamTrainwreck) has pulled out of the race to keep it a bit more comeptitive. Nontheless, Sofia will always remain a star of our train.

- from two Olympic medals to not qualifying to Nationals in four years.
- winning everything on junior circuit at her debut year
- being a diva from 15 yo
- bringing vocals to figure skating (well, thank you, Morozov ).
- rocking headbands and tutus
- being a fierce Carmen and Black Swan
- skating to the best examples of Russian pop music 1 , 2 , 3
- missing a spot on National team due to costume malfunction (bracelet falling on the ice )

the list is too long to mention everything..

Missed opportunities, lots of drama both on and off the ice, rare moments of glory and an extraordinary unrealized potential

Ilynikh is a hot mess, but Gedevanishvili is definitely the best trainwreck on this list.

DivaVera all the way! If the woman could have only landed her jumps. Sigh.

Important #ttw-announcement regarding Hall of Bullshit Fame

Vice and I already decided 5 noms for this years poll. Don't even start lamenting and trying to get rid of them. They are non-debatable:
Sofia Biryukova - for obvious reasons and her input creating the team
Elene Gedevanishvili - for boobs reasons
Kristina Gorshkova/Vitali Butikov - for surprise and reasons
Elena Ilinykh - as if reasons are needed here
Mari Vartmann - for obvious bossmans reasons

So, did the "obvious reasons" go away, or has Biryukova come out of retirement?

Kristina Gorshkova/Vitali Butikov - for surprise and reasons

And what are the reasons? What's so trainwrecky about these two?

 

[Vagabond]

Vera Bazarova
Sasha Cohen Lovely skater, reliably splatted during the Free Skate, too consistent to be #TTWHOF material.
Elene Gedevanishvili Are we sure that she has retired?
Kristina Gorshkova / Vitali Butikov Who?
Elena Ilinykh Only heartbreaking thing about her is her choice in men on and off the ice.
Marina Kielmann
Olga Markova
Mari Vartmann Dat ol' boss of ours. He is so funny!

The only time Ilinykh broke my heart was when she stole Pechelat/Bourzat’s Olympic bronze medal.
