I just read a NYT OpEd that talks a lot about Asian representation in the media that doesnt actually understand what’s so important about representation nor why it’s important to understand the numbers behind it. I wish I never read it.
A Chinese fan posted a video of Yuzuru's 2 quad axel attempts during the 6 minute warmup, both of which he took hard falls and likely aggravated his landing foot 😢 and yet he still persisted on
Shoma Uno - guarantees himself a THIRD Olympic medal. How about that?
And after nearly quitting the sport. Said earlier this season he wanted to prove to himself how deep he could dig - and what a good coach Stephane Lambiel is.
He did both here #Beijing2022
🥲 the interviewer pointed out that Shoma is the first figure skater in Japan to win three Olympic medals and he immediately deferred and said that his accomplishments can’t be brought up without first highlight how much “Yuzu-kun” has carried and done
🥲 new article about Shoma at GP France 2019
his trainer Demi-san couldn’t find any words for Shoma after the FS: “I felt like the moment I said anything, everything would just fall apart.”
after Shoma was left alone that night, he cried by himself.
