But the -ochka suffix sounds so feminine to me. Like using "Ruby" as a nickname for a guy named Reuben. If he's going to Eteri, he'd better try to blend in with the girls.

I just hope she's flexible enough to adjust for him when necessary. The language barrier alone is going to be troublesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuitsuki Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I think Shoma is likely to stick with Eteri camp (granted that they accept him. Her camp is also crowded with 3 juniors coming to seniors and a batch of girls debuting in junior circuit for the next 2 years). I don’t see him training in japan unless he comes back to the old coaching team. His old team has the best resources: they have their own ice rink, they put him as their absolutely top priority, Mihoko is almost like his personal coach and 2nd mom, not to mention the political advantage that Nagoya brings to him which results in his scores in competitions. He could not get these conditions anywhere in japan. Hamada is the 2nd best option, but her hands are full with Rika, Satoko and juniors. In NA, I don’t think Raf will accept him. It not only creates potential conflicts with Nathan, but also with usfs. Raf’s camp is backed up by his connections with usfs, and taking the direct rival of us’s top skater right now is not really nice in their eyes, i think. Marin is a different situation. TCC is out of range because Brian and Tracy are busy doing training camps with team china. I used to think Shoma might go to Ravi Walia ( Osmond’s coach), but he doesn’t have much political power, and shoma is not yuzu, so, not very likely. Tom Z? Nah, Zhou is there. In russia, there is only 2 camps worth mentioning: Mishin and Eteri. But Mishin has declined the rumor of taking him in, so only Eteri left. And frankly, i think that it’s the best option for Shoma in this situation too. We saw what Eteri camp has done to Lilbet: restored her jumps and added 4sal successfully (technique and method are different story tho, as long as she made positive results, who would care abt that?). And that’s exactly what he needs right now. He needs to improve consistency, not his technique (too late already), and he needs that 4s and 3.25floopz which Eteri might very well help him land those for a short time. And she is influential. For short-term results, her camp is exactly what he needs rn. i don’t rule out the possibility that he would return to his old coaching team after the camp or 1-2 seasons. After all, they offer him so many benefits that no other coach could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monchan Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Huhm this is becoming like a game show: "Who's next? On the way to find one true coach for Mr. Uno" One hint per week? Can't wait for other camps to drop hint about his next destination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodie axel Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Well, I hope Uno will be spared any personal attacks if he does indeed switch to Eteri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Shoma has been trying "4Lz" before olympic season iiirc (there was also the blurry footage), edge aside, he's likely aready there in terms of the rotations needed to get the jump validated (it's not like tech panels usually have such high standards anyway), so it isn't a matter of if but of when since he was going crazy in WTT, I think he'd work on bringing at least one new jump regardless of where he trains tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallycinnamon Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Russian federation released a statement about Shoma. He'll arrive this week (maybe they mean early next week?) to Moscow and will stay there for over a month, 'after which further plans will be discussed'. https://fsrussia.ru/news/4411-shoma-uno-provedet-letnij-sbor-v-gruppe-eteri-tutberidze.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yume Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Over a month....It will leave just a few weeks (2 or 3) to try other clubs before getting his choreos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
