Shoma: “Once I get a medal, I don’t want to look at it after.”

Narration explains that he just moves on right away to the next step because competitions are just a chance to improve.

Shoma’s GOE at the Olympics was about 13 points lower than Yuzuru’s.

“The degree of perfection of my jumps are totally different (from Hanyu’s). All I can do is land them. That’s what I’m lacking.”

Shoma started practicing right after he returned to Japan in order to prepare for Worlds and improve his jumps. “It’s not that I can’t land (good/high-quality) jumps. I can land one good jump in a few. I have to do well on 8 jumps (in competition) and that, in the tense atmosphere of a competition. I can’t just land one pretty jump in dozens.”

Narration says that he is going into Worlds as a competitor that will have others running after him (ie. he is higher in level), but Shoma says “It’s not that I won’t think of the pressure about winning, I have to get over that pressure to advance. I want to skate well even with the pressure.”

If he could have one wish come true with a dragon ball, what would it be? Shoma: “But I don’t really think I need that. I don’t think I’d be happy if a wish came true just randomly, I think sports are fun because you work hard in order to gain something.”

“Maybe time. Then maybe I’d have more time to game.”

Light Painter Janne Parviainen comes from Helsinki, Finnland, also known as JANNEPAINT, is a full time artist who has been snapping photographs for over fifteen years.

Like many light painters his discovery of the medium was an accident.   In early 2007, Janne was out at night capturing long exposure photographs and accidentally bumped his camera, when he looked at his photograph the street lights had left streaks that appeared to be writing in the image; from that point on Janne was a Light Painter.

Janne is well known for his light painting figures and recently he has been producing some amazing skeleton imagery. His favorite things about light painting are the urban exploration and the constant source of inspiration that it provides him. For more of his photos visit 500px.
