Deniss's ponytail is going to get its own zip code. :dance3:

What Deniss new look reminds me of:

Have we seen him run Great Spirit yet? Seems like everything we've seen has been DOMO... +5 GOE on Deniss' ponytail.
I just saw a Japanese outlet post a short video of all 3 men. Part of that was about 3 seconds of Grespi. You're right. Not much on the sp.

Glad to see some skating tomorrow. Best wishes to the women and the pairs. Hopefully Jackie will have some practice news on the men.
 
Darn, sorry to read the news that Sho will not be an Oly torch bearer. Because he would have to quarantine on return to Japan, the dates just wouldn't work out. Boo hoo. I thought that was a really cool honor. (as reported by asahi.com)


Masama Uno, a 23-year-old male figure skater from Nagoya, has declined to be the torchrunner of the Tokyo Olympics, which was chosen in Aichi Prefecture. On The 24th, the prefectural executive committee of the torch relay (secretariat, prefectural sports promotion section) announced.


Uno is competing in the World Championships in Sweden until The 28th. If he returns to Japan, uno officials have decided that he will not be in time for the torch relay because a voluntary quarantine period (14 days) for measures against covid-19 is required. On The 22nd, there was an offer of refusal to the prefecture.

So close now!!!! Ganba Shoma!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Some photos from today (24 March) morning practice:





Shoma skated DOMO again this morning, marked his 4S and 3S3T, landed the rest of his jumps, hung on a bit on his 3Aeu3F. SportsNavi has the video here but it's geo-blocked and had no sound 😭


PS. Just saw the Olys torch news, and a bit relieved for Shoma even though it would really be a special opportunity. Health and safety first!
 
Why is he called Masama?

Guys, I have a confession. Yesterday I hummed the Great Spirit tune while sauteeing veggies for dinner - with made up lyrics of course. I was sauteeing in rhythm!
When translated using Google Translate, Shoma's name in kanji (昌磨) sometimes gets automatically translated to... Masama 🤣 it's because there are different readings for kanji characters and the translator doesn't know that (a similar thing happens to Satoko, sometimes her name gets automatically translated to "Tomoko Miyahara").

It's either Masama or Chang Polish 🤣🤣🤣 which cracks me up even more.

Sauteeing while humming Great Spirit? Well well well, that is a classic case of Shomatitis. Soon you'll be chopping veggies with one hand, while the other fistpumps to the air!

I guess he saved the Grespi practices for today. Makes sense.

I just want Shoma to be in a good place mentally and physically so he can perform to the best of his ability and be happy with his performance. Hopefully that will be enough for him to get a medal, I've got everything crossed! :) Although I will admit after watching Rika I do fear for him a little, he can't give the judges any opening.
