Shoma Uno

Shoma and Stephane eating sushi? I didn't think Sho ate sushi! He is broadening his horizons as he matures.

I’m with him on not liking wasabi. In case anyone didn’t catch it he says “I don’t like wasabi” in English with food in his mouth. At first I didn’t know what he said until someone else pointed it out online.

He said it very cutely



A great advice from Stephane to Shoma for Worlds, and for us all really for life: "Bad Days, Good Days, Trust Yourself."

He's here!!!!!!!!!



Adding --Just heard from a source in Japan that he is NOT here yet! Ooh, not good! Flight delayed?

When Shoma says "ilia's skating is attractive for his jumps and his dynamism but my skating has its own charm too!" Yes Shoma. You are so unique, and we appreciate you for your uniqueness and your brilliance. Ganbatte. We are with you all the way!!!

Ugh, I hope he's not stuck in the Toronto Airport, that was a really annoying airport to navigate on the return flight from Skate Canada 2022!

Edit: At least this confirms to me that he’s not on the direct Tokyo-Montreal flight scheduled to land a couple of hours before the evening practice on Monday!

Likely, because Itsuki also reuploaded the Instagram story 6 hours after he uploaded his original one. Usually he only updates when Shoma is confirmed to have arrived, so now he's probably there.

And he's in Montreal!

you cannot be mistaken about this : bilingual signs Bonjour ! Hi ! Bienvenue à Montréal ! Welcome to Montreal ! (and the big Québec sign... just relieved he is not going through Toronto. (or he is no longer there) .. we don't like that airport)

 

[Figskater23]

And he's in Montreal!

He looks tired. Hopefully he’ll feel rested enough for the first practice.

 

[Arriba627]

Wow. Sho made the super early practice despite arriving so late. Show us that laser focus Sho!

 

[4everchan]

Weird he would attend the first practice at the practice rink....

It looks like Shoma had a good first practice! Keep up the good work!

What an athlete Shoma is - doing 1st practice after such a long flight. Bravo

 

[Arriba627]

Super happy to see Ghislain is here too! The Dream Team is back and ready to rock and roll.

The video from the SP runthrough in the first practice:



Shoma had a couple of falls in the evening practice including on his 4T, but he got 3 combos in his FS runthrough.
A possible layout for his FS will be 4Lo 4F 4T3T 3Aeu3F 4T 3A2A 3S.

I reccommend following Dornrschen8 on X / Twitter, she's been posting photos and videos of the practices!

 

[rabidline]

He sounds good (sorry for posting this earlier Goldenskate! I just can't wait hehe)

Arriba are u in Montreal cheering for Shomajesty?

So I was sitting there in the second row, and all of a sudden a Prince was skating towards me. It's almost impossible to get photos with my cruddy camera, so I tried a video clip instead. This guy is a work horse. That FS of his is awesome! I can see he is laser focused and ready. Loving seeing the awesome.4T-3T, 3 jump.sequence, and 3A-2A.

Interesting that at a certain point the 4F wasn't behaving. The Dream Team called him over to the boards and showed him the video Demi-san was taking. Ghislain said one thing to him, said something about his leg position. Then he went and immediately jumped a perfect 4F. It was pretty amazing.

He is total magic. He fills the ice with his presence, his charisma. He is the total package. I know we're not supposed to call him cute, but I'm sorry. He is super kakkoii.

Not quite sure what they were all laughing at, but something was funny. I love their vibe at practices. They're focused and businesslike but also lighthearted. I watched 4 practice groups of the men, and I really enjoyed the group with Kao, Yuma, and Sho.
