ISU released an article about Shoma

Two-time ISU World Champion and three-time Olympic medalist Shoma Uno of Japan has announced his retirement from competitive skating after a long and distinguished career and is ready to open a new chapter in his life.

“I have decided to retire from active competition,” Uno wrote on Instagram. “I am very grateful to have been able to continue skating for 21 years since I was 5 years old, and to have had a wonderful athletic life.”

The Japanese star will talk in more detail about his retirement and future plans in a press conference scheduled for May 14.

The 26-year-old looks back at a career with many highlights and also difficult times, but he always came back, proving his talent and showing resilience. When five-year-old Shoma went to the ice rink in his hometown of Nagoya with his father to have fun, he had no idea that he would become a World Champion, Olympic medalist and super star of the sport. He only knew that the enjoyed skating and kept coming back to the rink, taking lessons. He trained with Machiko Yamada, the coach of Japanese skating icon Midori Ito and also with Mihoko Higuchi for many years and worked his way up in the skating world.

Uno debuted in the ISU Junior Grand Prix in 2011 and was so tiny that he was unable to look over the boards. He won a few medals on the Junior circuit but his breakthrough came in what was his last Junior season in 2014/15 when he qualified for the first time for the ISU Junior Grand Prix Final where he claimed gold. Shoma went on to take the ISU World Junior title in 2015, in what was his fourth and final appearance at the event (climbing from 10th in 2012, 7th in 2013 and 5th in 2014).

Once at the senior level, Uno quickly became one of the top Skaters in the World. In his World debut in 2016 he placed 7th but then the next year won silver, his first of a total of four World medals. In his first Olympic Winter Games in 2018, Shoma skated off with the silver medal and returned on to the Olympic podium four years later, earning the bronze. In 2022 and 2023 Uno crowned himself ISU World Champion.

However, in between there was a time of struggle. In the 2019/20 season, for the first (and only) time in his career, Uno finished off the podium in the ISU Grand Prix Series. He had left his coaches since childhood and struggled with confidence.

“At first, to be honest, I was thinking about finishing my career,“ he said in an interview at Skate America 2021 about this time.

“I did not know how much longer I would keep going. But imaging the end (I thought) maybe I'll enjoy the rest of this career as an athlete.“

Uno started to work with two-time World Champion Stéphane Lambiel as his coach and choreographer in fall 2019 and soon came back strong. He grew as an athlete and a performer with beautiful programs that highlighted his versatility: “Turandot” (Free Skating 2017/18), “Great Spirit” (Short Program 2020/21), “Bolero” (Free Skating 2021/22) and “Spiegel im Spiegel” (Free Skating 2023/24) to name a few.

At the same time, the Japanese star always pushed the limits technically and made history by becoming the first Skater to perform a quadruple flip in competition in 2016.

“When I train and want to become better, it's not good for me to work on what I can already do. If I'm satisfied with just giving 80 per cent, I'm not good. The right training for me is to push my limits,” Uno said in an interview.

The Japanese Skater has an independent mind and a fun personality. He has a Youtube Channel where you can meet his three toy poodles Emma, Baron and Toro.

“When I am on the ice, I am totally focused on my sport, but when I'm off the ice, I am sure most people know I am just a lazy slacker, but I thought that would be a good way to show to the people how I am off the ice, but still this is Shoma Uno,” he explained.

When asked who inspires him the most, Shoma’s surprising answer was:

"Myself. Of course, I think I am inspired by many people and heard some good words from everyone, too, but in the end when you break it down, I do feel that it is myself that inspires me and sadly, I don't listen to anyone. Sometimes I listen, but mostly I go with my own mind,” he added.

For sure Uno will follow his own ideas in the years to come but you can certainly expect to see him gracing the ice in shows for a while.

K media :

BTS Jimin is still gaining popularity not only in the pop music industry but also in the sports industry. Jimin's "Set Me Free Pt 2" was used as the background music for the taekwondo gymnastics team's taekwondo junior "K-Tiger" at Yongin University in the Taekwondo Junior 2-3 (domestic) finals on the third day of the 2023 Seongnam World Taekwondo Hanmadang on July 23.

“ Filter" and "Lie" from BTS' albums are also influential in the sports world and show off their popularity as genre-agnostic artists, including the 2021 Star-on-Ice and the second ISU Figure Junior Grand Prix in Ostrava, Czech Republic. “

[yuzu-all-the-way]

Thank you for responding to my question about Yuzu being underscored! I'm still not sure I understand 100% but you mentioned politicking which always confuses me so there we are :D I also just want to clarify about my statement RE the Olympics - I only mentioned it as I think I'd seen something about Yuzu changing his priority because he knew he was being underscored, so I think if he hadn't been consistently mistreated by the ISU that he likely wouldn't have gone for it, and would have then had cleaner skates as a result (I think he also fell on the 4s in both skates if I remember right?). Not trying to say he made the wrong decision, as tbh his 4a was REALLY exciting :D Also shout out to him for being the only skater who has made me cry while watching - his gala performance at the Olympics was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, I think.

I'm sorry that it confused you - the truth is skating is very much hand in hand with politics which sucks.

I'll try to clarify about Beijing.

First of all, he fell on the 4S only in the free. In the short program, there was a hole in the ice (pics exist with him going to the spot where the hole is, putting his fingers into it*, it's clearly a crater in the ice). His blade got caught in the ice and the take off was risky, so he chose to pop the 4S into a 1S instead of risking a shaky, possibly dangerous landing.

*I put a photo of that below the cut

I'll try to give a timeline of how Yuzu got to Beijing Olympics and why he chose the 4A. This is also with help of new info from Aoi Honoo III, the timeline is kind of this (I might have gotten some minor details wrong, if I did, please, people who know the right things, jump in the replies and correct me):

Yuzu won the 2018 Olympics, but didn't want to turn pro yet, he went for the 2018/2019 season

At that point, he knew he was being underscored, but wanted to skate for himself - that was what he stated as motivation at the start of the 2018/2019 season. But he competed and competed, got injured, recovered, got again underscored at 2019 Worlds.

The actual plan was to go for the 4A asap (a jump he had dreamt to do since he was a child). I don't remember if in 2018/2019 or 2019/2020 he had it put in the planning for his free skate layout, there is surely a video in which a piece of printed paper is shown with this info: 4A (4Lo / 4Lz). If Yuzu had gone for the 4A and ratified it, that would've been it.

Yuzu stated clearly he wasn't sure about Beijing, his one goal was the 4A. He struggled a lot in the 2019/2020 season - he did the 5 quads Origin at 2019 GPF and still wasn't enough

Not having landed the 4A at that point, Yuzu went on.

In 2021, he had to withdraw from the GP circuit because he had injured his ankle again practicing the 4A. The last stop should've been JNats 2021. Again, the 4A was not what he hoped for, he was chosen for the Olympic team.

Last chance, 2022 Beijing Olympics. No matter of how the short would've played out, Yuzu was determined to go for the 4A. Again, Yuzu stated that had he made that 4S in short, he would've still went for the 4A, but maybe he wouldn't have thrown himself into the practice of the 4A with the "at all costs" mindset. He might've been more careful. The reality is that he went in, got injured, and "were it another competition, [he] would've withdrawn from the free".

I'm not sure if there was ever talk about him saying he didn't want to win the 2022 Olympics, I know only that he went in for the 4A, maybe aiming to win with it, but his main goal was definitely the 4A.

In another recent interview, Yuzu revealed he skated with a painkiller shot because that made his ankle stiff, he wouldn't have been able to move it. So, Yuzu skated the free without a direct painkiller shot, his ankle was hurting (I think he still was on painkillers, but not a local painkiller shot). That's why he fell on the 4S in the free.

Sorry for the long post, again, but when it comes to Yuzu, I try to give all the info possible as accurately as possible.

JGP Austria ice dance -

Darya Grimm/Michail Savitskiy 🇩🇪GER (16/20 yo) they were 5th at the JGP Final last season and 6th in the RD at junior worlds but had to withdraw from the FD due to food poisoning. he was the engaging commentator for Nebelhorn Trophy last fall. their ISU bio hobbies are cherry pit spitting (her) and failure management (him), and their skating has personality as well 😊 he's been the stand out - lovely skater, strong partner - he draws your eye when you watch them. she was very young when they began, has lots of potential. her extension and free leg weren't quite matching his last season. their RD is to ELO, and they have a Habanera (so, Spanish themed?) FD. this is their 3rd and final junior season. the podium at worlds feels like an attainable goal for them

i wrote this before news of their accident 😢 we won't get to see them skate, but check out their previous programs if you like. hope she recovers stronger than ever and that we see them back this season

Angelina Kudryavtseva/Ilia Karankevich 🇨🇾CYP (17/19 yo) known for their creativity and flair, they had a cheerleader FD last season. every season they do something nobody else is doing (2021, 2019). i love their audacity and quirkiness - most of their programs have some surprise, their take on most styles has their stamp on it. they like no hands balance lifts where she's holding on by her heel or toe, or rotational lifts where she's spinning on top of his head. even in a lyrical program ⬆️ look. at. these. lifts! maybe not every novel thing works, but so often it does. they've been as high as 8th at junior worlds but tend to lose points on levels and twizzle errors. there are details of unison and control that they need to improve in order to move up. i'm sure they're aiming for top 5 in the world and want to make the JGPF. they're skating a Madonna RD and a Nights of Cabiria FD - if that's the Fellini film music, it's bright and jazzy but more in a characterful than cool way, 50s, kind of lush in places, and it’s the story that Sweet Charity is based on - am very interested to see what they came up with for their final junior FD

Elliana Peal/Ethan Peal 🇺🇸USA (16/19 yo) a sibling team, they've been as high as 3rd at US Nationals and have silver medals from Dallas and Lake Placid this season already. they're aiming for the worlds team for the US this season. they have a Janet Jackson RD ⬆️ and Lord of the Rings FD. they've always been coached by their dad, who went to jr worlds for US ice dance himself, but at Lake Placid, Igor was also at the boards for them although he's not officially on their team. they maybe lack speed but have good unison

Iryna Pidgaina/Artem Koval 🇺🇦UKR (14/19 yo) she looks more mature as a skater than her years, so they seem balanced as a team. last season was their first in int'l competition, and they had a 4th place at JGP Gdansk. this season they're skating George Benson and Pump Up the Jam for their RD, Robbie Williams and I Love Rock n' Roll for their FD, and Nazarova/Nikitin are 2 of their choreographers😭

Chloe Nguyen/Brendan Giang 🇨🇦CAN (18/20 yo) they're a newly formed team training with WIng/Lowe in Vancouver. both have been to the JGP with their previous partners. they won the Next Gen competition, have good fundamental skills, seem well matched and are off to a good start (they're at 1:09:30 ⬆️) i really hate their Aspects of Love FD music- it's from an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that was a huge flop on Broadway. i'd dislike the music anyway, but what makes it worse is that the show, among a number of storylines, has 2 inappropriate relationships between an adult and a minor, and two of the songs in this FD are about those relationships. i don't know why their team would choose this for a junior program

Ashlie Slatter/Atl Ongay-Perez 🇬🇧GBR (14/16 yo) they are musical and have been vibrant performers since they were little. as their skating skills develop to catch up to their performance quality, they'll rise. levels in step sequences and patterns have been a challenge. but they have interesting choreo and i think? skate more in hold than a lot of teams. they were 18th at junior worlds in march. their RD is Run-DMC, and their FD is jazz, blues and Great Balls of Fire

Caroline Mullen/Brendan Mullen 🇺🇸 USA (17/19 yo) they had to sit out last season due to injury and also switched camps from WISA to Rockville with Dmitri Ilin but have been spending time at MIDA getting choreo as well. they have a bronze medal from Lake Placid this season, and this is their first JGP

Ambre Perrier Gianesini/Samuel Blanc Klaperman 🇫🇷 FRA (16/16 yo) this is their 2nd junior and 2nd JGP season. they medaled at some events last season and have nice qualities but also were prone to falls and twizzle errors. hopefully they got their nerves out and will have good outings here

SCP#: AIH

Code Name: Thor’s Hammer

Object Class: Prodosa

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-AIH is in the unfortunate possession of the Group of Interest: the Valravn Corporation. More unfortunately is that the Valravn Corporation was officially declared war back in 2021 meaning there is no way to peacefully obtain SCP-AIH. Any and all encounters with the Valravn Corporation are to be met with prejudice, any survivors of attacks are to be captured and interrogated with information on SCP-AIH and other anomalous items being top priority right next to VC locations. SCP-AIH must be obtained by any means necessary as to prevent another massacre.

Description: SCP-AIH is the fabled hammer of Thor created by Species of Interest: The ISU particularly for an ISU named Thor. As is annoyingly consistent for ISU, gods of myth and legend from various cultures around the world are actually just ISU with Thor being one of them. As that legend states, SCP-AIH allows the user to manifest lighting and even control the weather to make vicious thunderstorms. Though SCP-AIH has better control over energy like lighting it is possible for the user to make it rain or have all the clouds disappear for clear weather. 

Because SCP-AIH can manipulate electricity it can also generate magnetic waves allowing it to disrupt or create its own frequencies if the user desires. It’s even possible to generate a thin magnetic field around the user to make them fly into the air. This magnetic field even prevents projectiles from hitting the user making them seemingly indestructible. However, SCP-AIH grants no immunity of energy or recoil to the user, this was probably due to the ISU Thor relying on his natural strength and regeneration to survive it. As such, there are very few in the world that can use SCP-AIH and survive. 

SCP-AIH was discovered in 2021 when the Valravn Corporation declared war on the Foundation and launched an assault at Site-[data expunged]. It was only thanks to the combined efforts of MTF Epsilon-11, MTF Hestia-Alpha, and MTF Athena-1 that they were repelled back. Though the majority of the damage was done by [data expunged] who wielded SCP-AIH and claimed many Foundation lives. Mobile Task Force Athena-1 and Foundation Command are currently searching for all leads to the Valravn Corporation and Person of Interest: [data expunged] to claim SCP-AIH and Foundation revenge.

Berakar Lokal Bertumbuh Mandiri, IDEP Gelar Pekan Masyarakat Tangguh

BALIPORTALNEWS.COM, DENPASAR - Kedaulatan pangan menjadi isu global yang penting karena menyangkut hak dasar manusia untuk memperoleh pangan yang cukup dan berkualitas, serta keterkaitannya dengan keberlangsungan hidup manusia dan lingkungan. Peran negara dalam mengupayakan solusi mencapai hal tersebut masih belum optimal, mengingat kapasitas produksi dan distribusi masih belum tampak mandiri. Faktor pertama adalah kegiatan impor, yang justru menjadi sebuah ketergantungan dan ketidakstabilan pasokan pangan. Kegiatan ini ternyata meningkatkan risiko harga yang tidak terjangkau bagi masyarakat. Selanjutnya adalah krisis iklim, dimana kondisi tersebut menyebabkan kerusakan lingkungan, termasuk hilangnya hutan dan ekosistem laut, serta kematian massal pada spesies hewan dan tumbuhan. Pengaruhnya juga dialami oleh produktivitas pertanian dan produksi pangan. Dalam HSBC Summit 2022 dengan tema Powering the Transition to Net Zero, Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani juga mengungkapkan bahwa perubahan iklim dapat memiliki dampak yang lebih luas dan signifikan bagi negara-negara di dunia dibandingkan dengan Pandemi Covid-19. Dengan demikian, ia menjelaskan, bahwa Pemerintah Indonesia telah berkomitmen untuk memerangi perubahan iklim melalui Paris Agreement dengan mengurangi 29% emisi CO2 dengan upaya sendiri dan mengurangi 41% dengan dukungan internasional pada tahun 2030. Masalahnya, dua faktor tersebut punya dampak besar pada tingkat kelaparan di dunia. Kedaulatan pangan yang buruk dapat menyebabkan tingkat kelaparan yang tinggi, terutama di negara-negara berkembang dan masyarakat yang berada di garis kemiskinan. Kurangnya akses terhadap pangan yang cukup dan berkualitas dapat menyebabkan kelaparan, malnutrisi, serta masalah kesehatan lainnya. Laporan SOFI (The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World) tahun 2022 mencatat angka kelaparan penduduk dunia mencapai 828 juta orang di tahun 2021. Angka tersebut meningkat 46 juta orang dibandingkan tahun 2020 (782 juta orang) dan meningkat 150 juta orang jika dibandingkan sebelum terjadinya pandemi Covid-19. Dengan data terakhir ini, PBB memprediksi jumlah angka kelaparan pada tahun 2030 mendatang lebih dari 670 juta orang dan angka ini jauh di atas target dari program zero hunger. Selain itu, perubahan iklim, konflik, dan pandemi Covid-19 juga berdampak pada ketahanan pangan global. Menurut laporan terbaru dari FAO, pandemi Covid-19 telah memperburuk situasi ketahanan pangan di seluruh dunia, dengan sekitar 161 juta orang tambahan jatuh ke dalam kemiskinan ekstrem pada tahun 2020. Data terbaru juga menunjukkan bahwa ketahanan pangan global semakin terancam oleh perubahan iklim. Menurut laporan dari PBB pada tahun 2021, musim kering yang lebih lama dan intens telah mengurangi produktivitas pertanian di banyak negara berkembang, dan banjir dan badai tropis semakin sering terjadi, merusak tanaman dan mempengaruhi pasokan pangan. Ketidaksetaraan dalam akses terhadap pangan juga menjadi masalah serius. Menurut laporan dari Oxfam pada tahun 2021, pandemi Covid-19 telah memperburuk ketidaksetaraan dalam akses terhadap pangan di seluruh dunia, dengan perempuan dan anak-anak yang lebih rentan terhadap kelaparan dan malnutrisi.Pemerintah dengan proyek food estate-nya masih cukup jauh untuk menjawab segala krisis yang ada. Bahkan Menurut WRI Indonesia, food estate sudah berulang kali diupayakan, namun kerap mengalami kegagalan karena tidak berhasil mengefektifkan penggunaan lahan. Program ini pun telah berlangsung dari masa pemerintahan Orde Baru. Selain tidak efektif, food estate juga mengancam keberlangsungan biodiversitas bumi dan lingkungan. Alternatif yang dapat dilakukan untuk menanggulangi krisis pangan dan iklim, yaitu dengan food forest. IDEP mengajukan wacana tandingan dengan menerapkan konsep tersebut, yang mengutamakan diversifikasi pangan dan maksimalisasi lahan, alih-alih food estate yang monokultur. “Food forest, kemudian, mampu menjadi jalan keluar dalam mewujudkan kedaulatan pangan karena sifatnya. Warga kemudian harus mampu seluas-luasnya mengakses kesempatan untuk membangun diri dan sekitarnya melalui pengembangan kapasitas diri, modal, dan pengetahuan,” ungkap Hamzah, Ketua HUT IDEP Foundation. Food Forest diharapkan dapat menjadi solusi atas ketergantungan masyarakat terhadap sistem logistik pangan global yang hanya peduli pada perkara permintaan-penawaran alih-alih mengenyangkan manusia. Kedaulatan pangan kemudian mensyaratkan masyarakat untuk kembali melihat sekelilingnya dan mengoptimalisasi kondisi di sekitarnya, sehingga keselarasan terhadap alam kembali mewujud. "Jika dikerjakan dengan optimal, bahkan dalam kondisi paling rentan, daya hidup masih akan terus giat. Warga menjadi tangguh karena lingkungannya lestari," tambah Hamzah. Mewujudkan kedaulatan pangan adalah capaian yang diupayakan IDEP selama hampir 24 tahun. Melalui pendekatan permakultur, IDEP mulai melakukan pendampingan kepada masyarakat untuk lebih tangguh dengan memiliki akses yang lebih besar pada sumber daya serta mampu mempersiapkan perbaikan dari setiap guncangan dan tekanan. “Kami mencoba menyelaraskan mulai dari keluarga. Tantangannya terjadi ketika ketangguhan ini menjadi kebutuhan bersama dan diperlukan peraturan bersama yang disepakati bersama. Temuan lapangan kami, terkendala dalam hal perumusan kesepakatan ini dalam suatu aturan legal informal maupun formal. Karena pertimbangan fenomena kekuasaan dan kepentingan yang terjadi di lokalnya,” tutur Hamzah. Pekan Masyarakat Tangguh tahun 2023 memiliki tema “Berakar Lokal Bertumbuh Mandiri”, yang dikonseptualisasikan melalui refleksi atas sebuah perjalanan panjang dalam aksi dan kolaborasi nyata bersama warga. Masyarakat tangguh diharapkan menjadi model yang dapat ditiru oleh warga dalam konteks nilai lokal masing-masing, terutama dari keluarga sebagai konsep masyarakat yang paling kecil. “Oleh karena itu kami merasa bahwa perlu ada diskusi dari seri webinar sehingga pewacanaan mengenai model masyarakat tangguh dapat diperbincangkan dengan lebih gaduh. Diskusi ini akan merangsang para warga untuk berpikir mengenai kontribusi dan mulai mengambil ancang-ancang dalam membangun rancang modelnya," paparnya. Selama enam hari, Pekan Masyarakat Tangguh akan diisi oleh Seri Webinar dan Diskusi serta Open House. Seri Webinar dan Diskusi diselenggarakan mulai Senin (8/5/2023) dengan tema Model Masyarakat Tangguh Bencana; Selasa (9/5/2023) dengan tema Model Kemandirian Pangan Berbasis Lokal; Rabu (10/5/2023) membahas tentang Model Teknologi Alternatif; Kamis (11/5/2023) masih berlanjut dengan diskusi seputar Model Pendidikan Alternatif; dan terakhir pada Jumat (12/5/2023) dengan tema Model Gerakan Sosial. Selanjutnya, sebagai penutup IDEP akan menyelenggarakan acara puncak yang diisi dengan kegiatan lokakarya, mulai dari cara membuat bedengan, kompos, hingga pembenihan. Tidak hanya itu, kegiatan ini juga akan diisi dengan pertunjukan seni, mulai dari musik, tari, hingga komedi. Bazaar dan pasar rakyat, serta pameran poto juga akan mengisi dan menghiasi puncak Pekan Masyarakat Tangguh 2023. Tentunya jaringan-jaringan yang sudah ada juga dilibatkan untuk bersama-sama merayakan Pekan Masyarakat Tangguh sekaligus HUT ke-24 IDEP. Mewujudkan ketangguhan masyarakat adalah tanggungjawab kolektif. Sepekan kegiatan ini merupakan upaya IDEP untuk kembali belajar dari banyak perspektif untuk bisa mengembangkan kerangka kerja dalam bentuk model yang lebih mutakhir, sesuai kondisi lokal, dan berbasis bukti (evidence-based), tentunya dalam semangat berbagi dan bersolidaritas. “Sendiri barangkali dapat melangkah lebih cepat, namun bersama langkahnya lebih jauh. Membangun masyarakat tangguh merupakan kerja dengan nafas panjang, apalagi dengan begitu banyak rintangan dengan kuasa luar biasa. Ber-solidaritas, berorganisasi, maka menjadi kunci dari mewujudkan masyarakat tangguh yang selaras dan lestari," tutup Hamzah. (aar/bpn) Read the full article

Ahhhh I'm so sad that it's over. This was my first time watching the World Championship and I'm so glad I did. It was a brilliant week, there was a lot of talent on the ice and overall beautiful performances. And Happy Birthday to Anna!! My heart melted when Nathan brought out that cake!! It's a shame Yuzu wasn't able to keep his place in first, but at the same time Nate and Yuma skated so well and definitely deserved their medals. Congratulations to all of them!

[positive-twizzle-energy]

I see no one talking about Lilah and Lewis so I have taken it upon myself to hype their free:

THIS! WAS! THEIR! BEST! PERFORMANCE! EVER! AND! I! LOVE! THEM! SO! MUCH!

[myjunkisyuzuruhanyu]

Does wtt work like the team event at the olympics (e.g. shoma would compete either sp or fs) or do all single skaters from the men/women compete both sp and fs? If it’s the former do you think shoma is more likely to compete the sp or the fs?

It's a team event but it's not working the same way as the Olympic Team Event.

Every competitor (singles and couples) skate both of their programs - SP/RD and FS/FD

They earn points based on placement for each segment. Also the scores of the SP ans FS are not added. So a skater earns individual points over the SP and FS. Means you could be 1st and get 12 point for the SP and place 5th and get 8 points for the FS.

The huge difference to Olympics is also TWO single skater for each men and women category are taken into account and only ONE ice dance couple and ONE pair. So there is an imbalance from the start as pairs and ice dance teams don't have the same value for the result as the single skaters, in other words it favors the countries with good single skaters aka Japan. (Even if now Japan does have a World Champion Pair, Japan didn't have good ice dance couples or pair skaters in the past, but still managed to win WTT titles bc of the single skaters. Imo Japan as the sole host country of this event and who even invented the event, also wanted a chance at gaining the title that is why there is an imbalance)

Because of the imbalance and well...quite some heavy overscoring through all disciplines...this competition isn't taken this seriously neither under skaters nor by fans. But you can still earn personal ISU best scores, so this is not exactly just a joke competition...let's say it's complicated and I am not sure anyone really knows how to value this 😅 Skaters also often try out stuff they wouldn't try in a normal competition. This is for example where Shoma tried 3A4T both times in 2019 and 2021.

Last WTT 2021 Shoma didn't have a good competition and ppl wrote him off afterwards and haters called his career over, well...they couldn't have been more wrong. Two time World Champion, GPF champion and 3 time Olympic medalists since then! 😁

Even when 2021 WTT isn't exactly fun memories, it's the last team competition Yuzu and Shoma did together and it gave dear memories 🥰
