Congrats to Shun! The jumps weren't quite there in the FS, but you can see he has huge potential. Very nice feel for the music.

 

[TallyT]

Heaps of well-deserved congrats! He's going to be special, I think.

[dorispulaski]

Good luck to Shun at the JGPF!

 

[Merelhyn]

I just saw his free skate at the JGPF and THAT WAS INCREDIBLE

 

[Giu]

Shun Sato, what a masterpiece!!!!!
I wanted to jump in the arena to hug you!
My list of Japanese skaters to follow is starting to be too long

 

[nussnacker]

wow, Shun, wow! I was floored!
So much speed, confidence and strength!
Incredible!
A very well deserved and confident win!

 

[Arriba627]

Congratulations to Shun. Just qualifying for the JGPF is great, let alone to take the gold medal. Loved his FS Kiss & Cry. Not sure who was more excited -- him or the coach! What a great moment.


Adding -- corrected my post. I meant the first time he qualified for the JGPF, not the first year he is skating as a junior.

 

[lariko]

It was incredible. And he managed to impress my figureskating averse daughter by his love for panda bear stuffy toys, so that’s all around awesome

 

[harimaron]

Does anyone else absolutely love the music arrangement of R&J that he skates to? I'm usually very critical when it comes to arrangements and music cuts (coming from a music background) but I love his so much every time I watch him skate to it.

The final...... so good. I'm so proud, especially after how devastated he was at junior nats.

Edit: I still think Yuma has better performance/musical interpretation (at least at the moment), but both skaters have their strengths.

 

[aname]

He just won his first senior international! Congrats!
