Fun Team Japan photo. They all seemed a little tired but in good spirits.

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

Oh that’s what his name is (Ghislain I mean). I didn’t see him at Shoma’s other competitions this season from the pictures. Glad he could make it to Worlds.

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

Look at that smile. He is ready

Thank you for your report @Arriba627 and I hope you and the other dead banana members in Montreal will have an amazing competition to enjoy and watch!!!

 

[Arriba627]

Thank you so much @rabidline. It has been a long drought of 17 months of no live Sho performances for me. WAY too long. This is the 5th Worlds where I've seen him. It's good to be here and so fun to see some GS people. Also talked with the pink sweatshirt French sisters twice, in fact they were sitting in back of me at practice tonight. The camaraderie with fellow Shoma fans is great. Made a new friend from JPN who is a huge fan of Kao and Sho.

Thanks Arriba for your reports, much appreciated.

Wow, these people were the early birds! I can't hack getting there at 6:30, even for Sho! Fall on the 4F, nice 4T3T and 3A.

I was there that early for some reason...I can't even imagine having to practice first in the early group! He looked so sleepy...but I'm sure he'll shake that sleepiness off of him once he gets used to Montreal's time zone!

There are actually a couple of Shoma's costumes on display at Worlds (along with some other well-known Mathieu Caron costumes)! Both the black Sholero costume and the red Shoboe costume are there. I'll edit this post with my pictures of those costumes when/if I can...

Edit: Beautiful costume alert!

Hooray! We found the costumes. They're incredible! I think that was the Madison Chock snake costume too, among others...Mathieu Caron was there when we were there. LOVE the Sho red and black.

Sounds like it's going to be a wonderful event. Thanks for your reports and have a blast. Shoma sure looks ready and is fantastic looking in that mint shirt.

Glad to see Happy Team Uno keeping their sense of humor, despite the stress and pressure.

Some new fun videos, as we wait for Worlds to start for Shoma:

"Every day is cheat day" LOL



Exercising with Stephane!! An attempt was made

 

[Arriba627]

^^^When I watched him skate non-stop for close to 30 minutes (with lots of jumps) I wondered how many calories he burns in a practice like that. He deserves a cheat a day!!! Or two or three cheats!

Leave it to fairy! LOL.

New video from the Sushi dinner. Shoma calling Stephane to ask what he wanted to order. Shoma's English has improved so much!!!!!!!!!!

Sho's latest run through. Not much longer now. Joining in the Sho prayer circle. K

 

[yuumagical]

Remember when I said Shoma costumes were on display? I actually brought my red Shoboe mask with me today so I could take a picture while wearing it in front of the actual red Shoboe! How cool is that?!? (Please don't reveal my secret identity!)

 

[Arriba627]

Start times are up. Last group is Yuma, Kao, Jun, Ilia, SHO, Adam. Loved seeing combos during the practice videos!!! Wishing Shomajesty all the best. He skates at 4:42 pm Montreal time. I feel like I'm getting a nervous stomach already. You'd think I was the one skating.
