Shoma Uno

[LiamV426]

Oh, hello there sir. Yes, see you tomorrow! Oh, he is looking fine!!!!

So handsome! I swear his on-ice pictures are my faves, he's always giving the drama!

 

[Arriba627]

This part of the interview makes me so happy. Stephane has always admired Shoma and been such a positive influence throughout his skating career when he worked with him on his various programs. They are truly a match made in heaven. He seems to know just how to push him (both psychologically and physically) and how to help him believe in himself. I'm sure he can be tough, but it seems that he does everything with kindness.

A huge thank you to Stepen for helping our Prince be the best he can be. Go Shoma! Believe in yourself and trust your training!


"He is such a strong skater in everything! He has beautiful spins, good edges, he has charisma, he is very expressive, dynamic, explosive, he has speed. So we are just polishing every little bit of his skating and making him enjoy the work which is probably the most important at his age. He loves competing and training. And that's something we need to keep. My job is to keep him motivated, to help him grow and improve."

We're nervous right along with you. Crossed fingers that the skating Gods remember that beautiful practice he had yesterday.

Go Shoma!

Ganbatte, Shoma!!
I'm so nervous!

ETA: Argh! Too bad about the 4F but everything else is

 

[rollerblade]

Omg Arriba represent!

Did you take any pics/videos?

 

[lariko]

I was so happy to finally see Uno live!!! and, for the moment, he surpassed Chen

 

[Arriba627]

Press conference time.

 

[Arriba627]

I was so happy to finally see Uno live!!! and, for the moment, he surpassed Chen

FINALLY!!! Your wish come true!

Rollerblade -- no photos or videos any more. So many people come with fabulous, professional level cameras, and here's me with my crummy, grainy photos. Not worth the effort. I'd rather sit and stare at you-know-who!!!!

 

[Arriba627]

Now come all the incredible photos. That costume! Love the fierce look!



YES! Way to fight for that 3T!

 

[c3zara]

Why 4F, why? Since he pops jumps very rarely and his 4F seemed fine in practice I’m not worried. Happy for the 3T combo Not bad being in 2nd with just 2 jumping passes lol

Aside from the first jump, fabulous program
Now comes his specialty, the fs. Go Shoma, you can do this

If I'm remembering right, while he skated around as they waited for Kevin A's marks, the 4F was not behaving. Still, I can't remember ever seeing him pop the 4F in competition. Maybe fall or stumble, but never pop. In that short video clip above when they're in the K & C, I hear Sho say "first time" and Stepen says "We'll look at it tomorrow." Overall, it was a good skate.

His PCS were too low. How come he got the same PCS of Nathan?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Shoma's SP and costume were super beautiful! Even the popped flip was pretty as pops go

But the other jumps were great! How lovely was that 3A exit

Looking forward to Sholero tomorrow!

 

[demarinis5]

Beautifully skated SP from our Shoma. When he makes a mistake he does not let that
affect the rest of the program.

 

[16Olympics]

Shoma was so beautiful In every way. Seeing the pops in his jumps during warm ups was concerning but doing one on the first pass was a shock. But, it wasn't a fall and I think it raised the focus level on the rest of the program, which was just stellar. Shoma looks fantastic.

Bolero gonna rock the arena.

Goooooooo Shoma!

 

[jerrymouse333]

I was happy that Arriba and lariko were there.
Thank you for supporting Shoma.
Please cheer loud for us tomorrow.
