I know his last competitive skate was not the most ideal skate... but I will always remember his smile right here, when it's over.

I knew the end is coming since the moment he fell on the ice at Worlds 2023, and all I wished for is for it to happen with grace and dignity. And it did. The result was one of the hardest to accept (slipping from 1st after the SP to off podium) but he was there, at peace, a smile on his face as he congratulated the winner.

And that's what I'm going to remember from his competitive career- his big heart for the sport and its competitors, when he wins or loses.

Thank you, Shoma.

Shoma Uno has announced his retirement from competitive figure skating. I am very sad, but wish him the best of luck in the future.

Oh Shoma you will be missed 🥺

But if he's happier this way then, happy retirement.

Yuzu's words to Shoma ❤️

Here is the original quote from Yuzu:

Translation by feimeicheng on Instagram

This is the last straw for me really. I was fine until I saw this message! Now I am a puddle 😭😭😭 Yuzu even used the same wording that Shoma had for Yuzu himself at his own retirement with the "meeting as two ordinary males" 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ These two will always have my heart! ❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰

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

shoma has announced his retirement

Shoma Uno announced his retirement today and I'm a little verklempt. He's been a favourite of mine since I returned to following skating in 2017. I will miss his intensity, his precision, and his post-performance starfishes. Go forth, smol king.

Shoma was one of the first skaters I was enchanted with when I became a figure skating fan three years ago. His retirement announcement doesn't come unexpected, the signs had been there all season long. I'm devastated and heartbroken, though. However, I'm grateful that he blessed the world with his soft elegant skating and his musicality and that I was alive to witness it. I will miss his skating, his chaos, and all the precious Shoma & Stéphane moments.

Going through the five stages of grief over shoma, like it's not a surprise at all really but I'm still devastated 😭

#shoma uno #figure skating #im not ready for it to be over #😭😭😭 #he was always just my little guy

[figureskatingpenguin]

I was hoping he'd stick around to the olympics, but I suppose I'm not surprised. congrats on your long and successful career! I hope he enjoys retirement well and wish him well 🥹
