    I herewith submit my PhD thesis on the topic "Intertextuality, citation, and reuse in Shoma Uno's late works: The KODO collab" (supervisor - @skarayu). I've included only the most prominent and straightforward citations - there's a lot more there.

    "I hate this sport" from the OSM Alexandra Trusova vs "I love this sport" from the OSM & OBM Shoma Uno just shows you the difference between the two coaching environments. Really, heartbreaking stuff.

    David Wilson's last answer made me watch Fumio Igarashi (whom I never watched before), and his skating had been beautiful indeed! Here's the ending from his 1979-80 'Romeo & Juliet': spread eagle into Ina Bauer into split. Very elegant.

    The 8-year gap between Shoma's first (🥉in 2015) and latest (🥈 in 2023) GPF medals is now the largest among all men's participants in the history of this competition, surpassing Yuzuru Hanyu (2012/2019), Daisuke Takahashi (2005/2012), and Nobunari Oda's (2006/2013 ) 7-year gaps.

    IT'S OUT! The original English version of my interview with David Wilson, where he talks about Shoma Uno, the Nagoya Skating Club, Midori Ito, Kim Yuna, and the challenges of choreographing for top athletes. Enjoy! skating-to-music.blog/2020/08/23/a-c…

    "He's gotten to a point now, where I watch Shoma skate and I, in a way, feel like you're just not part of this competition. We are just so lucky that you're in here! He's the most charismatic skater that, I think, I've ever watched." Adam Rippon, "The Runthrough" podcast, ep.22.

    It's almost a truism to say, 'I miss Shoma's skating.' I miss it not because of some personal feelings or affections but mostly because right now, no one can fill in the gap created by his retirement: this kind of skating is absent in the current world of men's figure skating.

    Good luck in the free, Shoma! "I don’t expect good or bad from you – I just expect that you go out there and you push, and you do your thing, and enjoy, and you have fun." "I want Shoma to have no limits in his dreams." (Stéphane Lambiel)

    It hurts... because I love. But there is no bitterness. Gratitude, more than anything else. Gratitude -- and love. And some pain.
