I don't think he plans to do a 4loop this season. Not sure why.
Maybe Yuzuru stole his 4Los for this season

That will make it more exciting! Listen to the skating gods and don't watch him first. There's only Japan open before skate canada anyway. [emoji4]i could hear moonlight sonata... and shoma was floating over the ice.... woke up... saw a quad and fell asleep again....
i am feeling like the skating gods are really telling me not to watch shoma until skate canada because i get to see him live there.....
i tried to watch his Sp the other day .. and there was no sound... so i gave up....
i cannot believe i haven't seen his programs yet... so i will take the skating gods advice.. . and wait one more month
Shoma consistently gets level 3 on his step sequences. I always wonder why he seems to not hit level 4 there more consistently.

there are a few explanations about that, and not related only to Shoma.
The level in step sequences requires execution of specific features... and they have been changing... sometimes, there were requirements (a long time ago) about one-foot skating for a long period etc... I remember Patrick having to adapt his choreography to get level 4.. because his original artistic plans were not rewarded by the tech panel... i am not sure what the matter is for Shoma, but he probably plans to get a level 3 anyways.. like some people KNOW ahead of time they will never get a level 4 on a spin or on a twist. So, if Shoma gets consistently a level 3 on his steps, I would assume that's what is usually planned for him. Not everyone is going for all level 4s always...
Maybe the Lutz will make a reappearance, wouldn't that be lovely? :dev2:
Yeah...how does that even work? You jump from one foot to the other?! :scratch3:
The comment to ruin my night. Mako can re-teach it to him.
I think he aims for a Level 4. The choreography does not look fully finished. They'll keep working on it. The music in the second half is fast enough for him to be able to do a level 4. What they will have to figure out is how he can do 4 quads and the 3 other jump passes in 4 minutes, and still do the level 4 step sequence and spins.

Matteo doesn't care that the FS has been shortened - he still thinks he has time for three songs!

Last season from GP through Worlds, he got level 4 three times, in the SP (Internationale de France, GPF and Worlds). The rest was level 3. And he didn't get it in worlds at all. So he's not really consistently in getting level 4, hence my question.
:shocked:
Kind of confused about Shoma's jump layout. At an interview late last season, when asked about the proposals to shorten the Men's free skate and remove one jump, he said that he would probably remove his easiest jump - 3S. However, he has instead done one more quad and removed both 3Lz and 3Lo... I understand removing 3Lz, but why 3Lo as well? Is he having hip issues?
The program I enjoyed the most was probably Aliev's. Not sure if it was just in my head, but I felt like he didn't really need preparation for his jumps (or maybe his preparation was just so well choreographed and performed that it didn't feel like preparation). I love the way he moves.
also... it's the tech panel who ought to decide about the step sequence level.. some may feel a skater has demonstrated mastery of a level 3 on a sequence while others allow it a 4....
