Oh yes, Nikolaj is definitely a tall giraffe. I'm not really into juniors, but I saw so many accolades about him and how wonderful his performance was, I just had to watch. He looked like a John Curry, Robin Cousins type of height. Very well deserved gold, and the U.S. Lucas Broussard (silver) did a good job too.

Ah yes, I have had many avatars over the years. Every time I see a great photo of Sho I think "New Avatar!" So of course, every ten minutes I want to change my avatar! :laugh2: (After all, there are plenty of great photos of him!).

Is it possible to use a giphy as avatar? You could make one out of several of your favourite pics so they would change on their own 😂
 
Can I just say......... I'm so happy??? Oh my god, all these interviews after GPF made me so happy to be a Shoma fan. He sounds so healthy, so mentally settled, so at peace with everything, but also still determined to continue improving and aiming for the best.

He has a strong team and a wise family around him, he has a healthy mindset about taking care of his health and his body, he has a good approach for competitions, he has amazing programs, and he is pacing himself to peak at the right time. I can only pray and hope he stays in good health especially with this short turnaround to Nationals, but the rest... I can't ask for more. Wait! He even has the cute dogs!

Just, after all these years of doubts, of uncertainties, of worries. It feels so good. Him being happy and settled and healthy like this means a million more to me than the gold medals. The first GPF title is the cherry on top, but this is what makes me happy the most. His skating has brought so much happiness to me... I can only wish this life to bring the same happiness for him.
 
Check out these beautiful treats. Please, please. Can overseas fans do the quiz too?!

Wait, where did this come from?! Sho English is the best!

[Working] with Shoma is also a big privilege, he is a monster. In a sense that he is able to do a big load of work, he's a very hard worker, with a strong mind, strong body. I really enjoyed going to Skate Canada with him and seeing him perform there. I also really enjoyed his performance at the Japan Open. I feel he's becoming more and more responsible; he knows more and more what he needs, what he wants.

And he is a leader now. I think he mentioned in interviews that before he felt Yuzuru was the one pushing and he was behind...

I don't feel that way, because every time I see Shoma he's pushing forward, he has always been the leader of himself, his power is moving forward with such speed. I like seeing where he is, where he stands, what he needs to work on, what he has at the moment. He's also in a place where he's making his way to have opinions on things. He's taking responsibility for doing what he wants to do. During the practices in Canada, he repeated multiple times the sequence of the beginning of the short program or the second sequence of the free skate. He was going and going and going until he really felt okay, and it was in his system. He has this kind of awareness that maybe he hasn't really paid attention to before. This consciousness comes later in the career, and I think that's where he is right now.

Everybody would agree that all this is happening thanks to you. You gave him this motivation, you definitely have a part in giving him back this will to skate, to improve.

I think, yes. And I think he has it in him, it comes from him. If this wasn't coming from himself, he wouldn't have been able to do it. Of course, we have a good connection since a very long time, even before we started working together as a coach and a student. The environment created within our relationship helps him to be himself, to develop his own opinions and wishes, but it really comes from internal motivation. Without that you won't do it. You can like someone very much, but you don't do it for someone, you do for yourself, right?
