I am very much inclined to believe this after seeing such a glorious Shoboe firsthand! Shoma truly looked like a shimmering ruby in the crown of figure skating out there!!! Hope he can carry this energy into the free! I still have no expectations-- but now I have a LOT of hope! And I'll continue to send all your kind thoughts his way.Naaah, the skating gods course-corrected your journey and blessed you with a detour to Montpelier.
Incredibly mature, composed yet emotive and technical. Everything level 4

Please, cheer for Shoma Uno as loud as you can!!! I hope so much to see him with gold!!!I love how he REALLY took his time with everything. He controlled his energy. No rushing, trying to force things, was very patient. We heard earlier that he has been working with Demi-san to improve his explosiveness on his jumps. I see more spring, tighter rotation with faster spin, and (my favorite) landing square on the 4T so he can easily get the 3T. Add to that his Nagoya posture, his mastery of total body movement, his shifting of his weight back and forth over the blade, his deep edges. He is quite the athlete!!!I
Looking forward to Sholero. You got this Sho!!!
Was that Demi-san with Shoma in the K&C? I thought he's the off-ice physical trainer... didn't know he also handles jump technique.
Yes, it is Demi-san! He's both Shoma's physio and physical trainer... but he's been working with Shoma to execute a more regimented off-ice training this season. Demi-san is not helping with the jump technique, I think what Arriba was trying to say is that the off-ice training helps Shoma in increasing his stamina and power, and it helps him performing better in competition, including with the energy in his jumps.
LOL, @KiraraChin , I was about to share that in Kazuki's FF! It's such a funny moment... and honestly, Kazuki, mood. That last pose is great but Shoma was too giddy
By the way, congratulations to Kazuki! It's such an honor as a fan to see Shoma sharing the small medals with his teammates, especially a close friend like Kazuki.
Haha great minds think alike! I decided to share here since it's more about Shoma than Kazuki, but yeah I'm so happy for both of them! Their friendship is so funny and heartwarming, I love the way they have fun together, and support and appreciate each other. Seeing them getting medals together (even if it's a small medal) is like a dream come true for meLOL, @KiraraChin , I was about to share that in Kazuki's FF!

Just like rabidline said --.off-ice stuff. I think he has probably made his mighty calves mightier. He has a better snap with his jumps too. BTW, I don't think that's Demi in the K&C. I wonder if it's someone from the Fed.
