An interesting side note to this article is all the champion skaters that have come for the Aichi region VS the 2 Olympic Gold medalists that came from Sendai, plus, Honda Takeshi, Akiko Suzuki (trained there) and Rika Hongo also came from the Sendai area.
And a great article about Shoma. He's very young, and looks even younger, but he has a love for skating that I like to see.
I really want him to skate something that HE enjoys in his first senior year. -whatever it may be. I also liked his programs from one season back. The transitioning phase from Junior to Senior may be tough, but I think he'll make it just fine.
He's a very hard worker so for him, it will be about training smart, and not getting injured.
P.S. I would consider a successful season for Shoma would be a medal or medals in the GP series, getting silver again at Japan Nationals and getting into the top 6 at worlds.
If Rika can do it, first try, Shoma can do it too.
