#ShunThruYears In the FS Shun landed his first 3Lo. With the Loop, he got all his triples at 11yo, besides the Axel 👏

#ShunThruYears Shun’s first international competition was Gardena Spring Trophy in Milan, Italy 🇮🇹

It was the first time he competed in the Advance Novice category while having to do both SP and FS. Also first Lutz combo!

#ShunThruYears Shun’s first competition as an 11 yo!! Finally managed to land a rotated 3F, and tried his first 3Lz in competition. Spins were still haunting him 😅🐼

In Venice Italy

#ShunThruYears Shun wins his second Novice B National Championship and improves his personal best 😊 👏

#ShunThruYears Shun's getting closer to landing that 3F, with this win he earned a spot for Novice Nationals for the second time 🐼

Here are parts of an interview found in a past issue of S-Style Magazine (May 2016)

"The side of Shun Sato we want to know"

Q3: Who is the athlete you look up to?

A:  Yuzuru Hanyu. When I was small, there were times when we had practices together. Last year's NHK Cup, at the exhibition of international competition, everyone was speaking in English so I didnt know what they were talking about. But then Yuzuru-kun explained it to me {the contents of the conversation}. He is really kind. The pendant I always wear in competitions, I received it from Yuzuru-kun. Somehow power emanates from it.

Q4: Which part of Hanyu do you like?

A: Of course his jumps are amazing, but he is also good in spins and steps too. Already, it is perfect!

Q5: What is the element you are good at and which one is your weak point?

A: Jumps are my forte. As for the type of jump I think the ones I am good at are axel or lutz. I feel happy the most after I landed the jumps. Until last year my weak points were spins and steps, but this year I think I want to work hard on all of them.

Q6: How many hours do you practice?

A: Right now it is spring holiday so the usual practice is from 9 AM to 6 PM. After that I rent the rink for about 3 hours of practice. On my school days I practice for about 3 hours a day. I practice everyday except on the days the rink is closed.
