So...what did the team captains actually do?
Feeling like the pope up there and looking pretty
Shoma obviously does have to work on the quality of his jumps. However, it does bear remembering that this was:
1) an incredibly difficult layout;
2) the first time he has done this layout;
3) at the end of the season;
4) his first senior season.
He has said he will be working hard on improvements in the summer.
I think it's also worth remembering that we're talking about the young man here who for a long time didn't seem to get his 3A. Not even talking about a quad, let alone a 4F. He's improved tons and I still can't fathom where this is all coming from in the last 2 years! It's going to be great to see how much more he can improve until next season.
What I personally hope is that he gets his jump landings less 'scary', because I think quite a few of his landings are looking like they are putting a great strain on his knees (obviously, jumps always do, but I mean more than usual). But maybe this is also just my imagination, and GOE or scores aside, I mostly want him so stay healthy.
