Shoma Uno: 2014-2024

[Aglae]

His arms are never swinging nor "meaningless" which is one of the many things I like about him!

Even his hands are always telling a story when he skates :luv17:

 

[Hronop]

Yeah the russians are very blunt about everything. The interview was about olympic i think. There’s also a tweet that said after Shoma FS finished, Tat remarks was something along ‘I’m very glad that he will stay in figure skating like a flagship’ not even sure what that means LOL

Yes, she said that, about 'flagman ship' (meaning 'a leading skater' here, of course), but that was about Yuzu. She just hoped he would stay and continue his amazing career, that was it.
A few seconds before that, though, she said that 'Shoma Uno is a genius, HE IS JUST A GENIUS' (and she was almost crying at that point).

Dear all, I have been searching Shoma's world performance videos with NBC and CBC commentary for while ... Does anyone have those videos? Will greatly appreciate if someone can upload them. Thank you in advance!!!

Welcome, everyone! So many new fans, it's so wonderful! Skatefan22, sent you a PM, hopefully you've seen it.

Here's the Legends, Satoko and Kaori introducing Shoma. [emoji3]

Oh Soz if I’m wrong. I was just basing it on this Twitter https://twitter.com/irinamastyaeva/status/978945050821447681?s=21

Tat loves Shoma so much it’s so cute!

No need to be sorry, it's alright. Actually, the first comment there in the link sort of implies that it was all about Yuzu. I remember TAT's words very well, because, first, I often re-watch Shoma's FP with TAT's comments, and, second, because I'm Russian.

Ah Gotcha! Thanks Hronop!

It looks like Shoma slayed his demons from Worlds with that performance

And sometimes it's not even the hands. Pick a video and watch his fingers. He's amazing!

 

[Arriba627]

As a newbie to this FF, I have a question about a certain Italian analyst on Eurosport. I have read English translations of podcasts that he thinks Shoma has poor skating skills. The only reason that I can find that he feels this way is that he skates 2 footed too often. Some of his comments about Shoma have made me question if we are watching the same skater.

For myself, I wonder whose opinion should I trust -- a biased fanboy's or an unbiased Level 5 coach with 30+ years of coaching experience who also happens to be a very loyal friend of Brian Orser. I think I'll go with the Level 5 coach (Doug Haw).

Yes !!! he owns the choreo all the way to the (neatly trimmed) nails

But was he wearing his pink nail polish?!

OMG, he wears PINK nailpolish ??? LOL he's probably sleeping through the manicure, one day he might wake up with red highlights, like with his hair

I was just curious, did not mean to offend anybody

Thanks so much! Sorry, I definitely could've just youtube searched that but for some reason I assumed they wouldn't be there.

I'm in love with Shoma's rose shirt and him drowning in the huge tshirt for the closing is adorable. So good to see him having fun with everyone, my heart is happy :luv17:
