R and J for Roman?

 

[sunnystars]

I am liking this program. He does need more power or some drama sprinkles for this.

 

[sunnystars]

ouch that full body fall

 

[sunnystars]

I think that flip was at the wrong edge

... WD: [6] Shotaro Omori, Detroit SC (reportedly only planned to do SP)

As mentioned earlier in the thread, this morning Shotaro himself tweeted about skating only the SP -- so "reportedly" is an understatement .

Shotaro Omori ‏@sho_om

.@bell_canon @jeremyabbottpcf thank you so much! A lot of work to do but Jeremy is an absolute GENIUS! Only doing my short at Skate Detroit&#55357;&#56842;

Shotaro Omori (USA)

Lilac shirt, purple vest, dark pants (borrow from J. Abbott SP 09-10?) ...

Sequins nailed it re Sho's SP costume.
Per Jeremy's mother's tweets, Sho indeed was wearing Jeremy's "magic costume."

Not feeling this music...and I know not every skater is going to have an extravagant costume at a competition like this, but surely he could find something a little nicer to wear than that, no?
