british eurosport commentary : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea1msET_6hY
So agree with what Joanne said : "And it's a mark of how incredible a presence he is on the ice, we have seen and heard that piece of music, Nessum Dorma, be used countless times in skating and usually if the program is not technically there that crescendo of an ending falls completely flat but somehow he still, after 3 enormous falls, created a moment. That is quite something, there are so few skaters who would be able to do that. These falls, although i think he is making the rotation, or certainly only a quarter under, they are big falls, certainly that 1st one on the loop..."
also Shoma was serving looks at the press conference looking so damn hot. His answer about what he likes about Mika and Nathan was so cute too.
im dead. bye
Just finished watching the press conference and compared to last year Shoma has really grown up and matured, just listen to the way he answered all the questions. He wasn't even nodding off at this press conference. But seriously so proud of what he did today.
edit: here is the press conference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3VCwmExAx0
Though Shoma is described as a tennen person (or live in his shoma world most of the time), I always think his mind is very clear when answering something really critical.
I haven't been so nervous watch live for a long time, I felt pain for Shoma's falls and thought it was really incredible that he landed most of his jumps and combo safe in the later part of program...then I saw tears on his face when he finished his program and walked to K&C...
. It's kind of hilarious how he seems like a mess in his day to day life, and yet he's so incredibly composed when he needs to be.
::sad21::hap85:
It worked deedee. Our Shomita did it!


A PARTY TIME, guys!!!!! :hap93::hap93::hap93:
I love his hair like this, with his bangs covering his eyes a little. I hope he doesn't cut it but he probably will. I need more pictures and videos of Shoma running his fingers through his hair to push it back.
:I am so proud of our Prince this season which may have been his toughest season so far. First doing 5 quads in the FS at Lombardia, then competing at Japan Open in just a few weeks. Caught a flu after going to Skate Canada and then having a tough time recovering in France. Having a rough skate and missing his own expectation at GPF and Nationals. Then finally he is back on track at 4CC and finally had his moment at the Olympics. Sadly the boot issue and the ankle disturbed him at Worlds but he is so determined to carry on and attacked everything because he takes the responsibility to keep 3 spots for Japan so hard (Kudos to Kazuki too), this is definitely not the way we want him to win the medal, but his determination deserves all the respect. Time to rest and sleep and play games and eat meat! Otsukaresamadeshita!!!::sad21::hap85:

Press Conference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3VCwmExAx0
I am so emotionally drained I feel like I skated! When we were getting ready for the last group, when I saw the look on Fluffy and Sho's faces, it made me really nervous. They were directly across from me. When have we ever seen Fluffy without her 1,000 watt smile? Who knows -- maybe she is praying here! https://twitter.com/Arriba627FS/status/977643534374359040 And look at Shoma. Talk about worried! That's his worried face. https://twitter.com/Arriba627FS/status/977643786665975808 And I think that face is even more kakkoii than the happy face! And of course there were cameras right in his face the whole time he was standing there waiting to go on with the final group. Oh, he looks so smol, small, and nervous! https://twitter.com/Arriba627FS/status/977643661927309312
After he fell on the 3 jumps and stepped out on the 3A, I figured there was no way on this earth that he was going to be able to do the 3 jump sequence. And of course, then he pulls it off beautifully. The poor gentleman sitting in front of me. I screamed so loudly right in his ear. Thank goodness he was Japaneses, cos I think maybe he was screaming too. The arena was going bananas. Then to be able to tack the 3T onto the 3S. What a fighter...This is not exactly how I wanted him to finish out the year, but I'll take it. Couldn't have been prouder of him. This guy has grit and determination!
