The Shoma Uno fan thread - Go for número UNO!

über cute Shoma content keeps coming! (see this thread for pics)
omg Harper's Bazaar Japan did a feature on Shoma and called him the "beloved little prince of the figure skating world". they've got photos of him during his baby days
:swoon: :rofl:


also this A+ soundbite (link)
after his first official Olympic practice, the press asked Shoma what his thoughts were on the rink with the Olympic rings mark in it and he said "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying any attention to where I was at."

I've seen some short clips of his official practices. He looked fit and I'm expecting he'll deliver a decent short program today. Japanese skaters can use TE as an opportunity for getting used to the ice and atmosphere of the Olympic rink when considering the position of Team Japan in TE. My wish is he'll not peak in this event and keep it for IE. :p I wish he'll enjoy this opportunity today. :cheer2: Go Shoman (to some extent :D)!
 
Uno did great, a shame about the quad flip, especialy as he is capable of doing it so well. I hope in the individual he hits that, if he does he is unbeatable for the golden medal!
 
Q&A after SP in TE (my rough translation)
https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20180209-00000522-sanspo-spo

Q: Any thoughts after finishing the SP?
Shoma: Since it's Olys, I thought some special nerves would come to my mind, but no, there wasn't any such special feeling, and I could do my good skate to the end of the program.

Q: How about the scores?
Shoma: Despite the jump mistake I made, I received such good scores. I think it's a fruit of all my hardwork until today. Enough rotations without a fall lead me to the good scores.

Q: It's your first Olys.
Shoma: Honestly speaking, I had no special feelings. Rather I was more nervous in Japanese Nationals.

Q: Any words to Team Japan members?
Shoma: I focused on myself. Wish other skaters will not over-think about team works either, and they'll focus on their own stuff.

Q: Any thoughts about IE?
Shoma: Here I had things that I left on the table. I want to skate with stronger heart in IE.

Comedian Leslie Jones was tweeting out fashion commentary snippets during team event and I love how she freaks out (in a good way) about Shoma's ice couture :lol:

(unmute to hear her rave)

"You see the beading in this top?!?!" https://twitter.com/Lesdoggg/status/961788889294925825

"Look at the detailing on that!!" https://twitter.com/Lesdoggg/status/961789447095443456


ETA: oh, Christian Siriano chimes in too. Shoma is muy fashion!
:lol: AWESOME Let's check what he'll comment about Shoma's FS couture. :D
 
WOW Shoma's gonna skate last in the final group? :eek: Uggggggg :scream: Now it's time when experiences that he's been under big pressures since he was very little are to work for helping him. Above all I want to see a performance of his life! :cheer: The stage is big enough! :D
