#I LOVE SHOMA

[brutalhonesttruths]

Shoma reviving his youtube channel to post a failed jump compilation with commentary and then immediately announce his retirement is kinda iconic tbh

There's a level 4 step sequence and then there's a Shoma Uno Level 4 step sequence. Speed, complex steps, beautiful body position, and unimpeachable musicality. This is so difficult to do and he makes it look effortless.

I’m losing my mind. Adam bronze up from 19TH IN THE SP?? WITH A BACKFLIP? Gutted for shoma but he was smiling at least! I was rooting for Yuma but it was such a shame about that fall on the 3A ))):

Ilia’s skating doesn’t do much in terms of PCS, but fuck if he didn’t deserve that win. jesus christ

I can’t believe so many men flopped and none of them enough to get Sasha into the top 10 for two estonia spots 😭 he was so close

"Together with Stéphane" [x] [image description in the article: Shoma Uno holds a piece of paper with his hopes for the second half of the season, which says "together with Stéphane", in Beijing, China, on December 10, 2023.]

―This season you are focusing on expression, but do you actually feel like there is a dilemma between the skating that you want to do and the current rules? ◆Until last year, yes. I didn't like that what is considered as a good performance is 'jumping'. [...] But it's what we do within the rules. We have to be able to adapt to any rule. So I also want to practice according to the current rules. Until last year, my opinion clashed with Stéphane's on this aspect. I only wanted results, while Stéphane wanted me to work hard on expression as well. But expression doesn't really bring points. Until last year I was thinking, 'No, no, I have to focus on jumps'. Now I agree with Stéphane. I don't know if it's because I'm in a state of mind where I'm satisfied with my results, but now I'm going in the same direction as Stéphane, so I want to do the things he wishes for."

―After your performance, you turn to coach Lambiel right away. Is that because you want to see his reaction first? ◆First of all, yes. This time, after the short program was over, he looked really delighted. He was really pleased after this free skate too, and I was really happy about that. There's a part of me that feels like I'm working hard for that. I guess that that kind of moments are what make me happy.

―Your fellow teammate Koshiro Shimada also said, "The goal of Shoma and I is to make Stéphane scream in excitement as much as possible.'' ◆Certainly (laughs). That's for sure.

―Does it motivate you to perform in a way that makes people around you happy? ◆Of course that's one of my motivations. However, making Stéphane happy is more like a "goal" than a motivation.

―You wrote "together with Stephane" on the cardboard. ◆This is my current state of mind. My heart, mind, and motivation are overflowing, and although this grand prix series made Stéphane really happy, I can still make him even happier. From now on, I want to do my best and work hard towards the next events together with Stéphane, and show the results in competition.

Thinking a lot about Yuzu and Shoma the last days...

Mentally I am still somewhere shortly after Pyeongchang 2018 where everything was fine 😌 I will probably never be as happy as a fan back when Yuzu and Shoma won the Olympics. This still means everything to me.

So here are again some favorite moments ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰:
