Aww... yup, I also want a hug.
Yeah there's no denying it, this comp was one to forget
Shoma really seemed unprepared. Of course the boot problems didn't help either. I feel sad that he had to end his season this way, and what I really hope is that this won't bring his motivation and fire down too much. He has so much to give but he needs to bring it when it counts... I am glad he attempted the 3A4T though, it showed that he still has that fight in him! Whatever the issues are, I hope Shoma will be able to take the message needed from this competition and then forget about it.
I'm so ready for new programs and I do believe they will help Shoma to focus on the next season and the new challenges ahead. Hopefully he is going to enjoy the ice shows too!
Here's a cute bunny Shoma to cheer us up
What a lovely drawing! I feel sad when certain people are raging on Stepen being only a "feel-good" coach. Pish posh!Yes, thank you Stepen and thank you Shoma! This is so lovely. Thanks to fairyonice
^^^Thank you for the bunny photos! That one that rabidline uses for her avatar is the absolute best!
I didn't watch live but caught the men's event on the replay. Given the circumstances, I think Shoma did okay. Hopefully, he will take lessons from this and move on. He has done his obligatory kuyashii to his team mates. This has been a season like no other (thank goodness) in all respects, and I'm to the point where I'm tired of over analyzing it. It broke my heart when he was grimacing at one point (was it during the step sequence?), and yet he still was giving it his all and trying his best. Not on the 3A-4T bandwagon. Yes, it's a big points item (even with a fall), but I saw another competitor jump a stellar 4T/3T then a stellar 4T within seconds and earn 30+ points (and no it wasn't Nathan ). That's my preference.
No matter what happened here, I still believe DOMO has been a great vehicle for Sho. I think he's probably ready to move on to the challenge of some new programs. I thank God he's made it through this season without getting Covid or sustaining injuries. His pattern in the past has been to get his new programs early in the off-season and then debut them at the ice shows and start getting some "mileage" on them. I hope he will be able to do that during this off-season.
Keep going Sho! You have so much to offer and so much left to give to us!
Best part of the day. From Nam's IG.What a lovely drawing! I feel sad when certain people are raging on Stepen being only a "feel-good" coach. Pish posh!
p/s: also glad more people are jumping on the misspelling train.
We don't waste any time do we?! I'm already thinking the same. I'm guessing IdF and Rostelecom too and doubting there will be anything in N. America (unfortunately). Although there is always hope! Koshiro and Stepen were at Sk Amer in the 19-20 season, so one never knows! I know you're still on your quest to see the Prince live, so I wish you luck!I am starting to think that with Kagiyama, Hanyu and Uno coming 2,3,4 I am wondering how they will distribute them in GP & if Uno will do Russia and France again.
