In some ways, he got lucky, partly because he got the credit before the technical controversy on quads-with full-blade take offs, pre-rotations, etc.-widely emerged. These issues were not publicized widely until several seasons after Shoma’s 4F had happened, so he sort of dodged the bullet by having gotten the credit previous to that, in my opinion.

@@nondescriptnyc Yes, probably, but in the last years I don´t understand why the jugdes didn´t penalized this, although I think that perfection in anything is practically impossible to achieve and I consider that Shoma is a good skater, even if he has a "cold" style (straight face) although I think that perfection in everything is practically impossible to achieve and I consider that Shoma is a good skater, even if he has a "cold" style (impassive face), the clear improvement in the artistic part of recent years being notable thanks to to Stéphane Lambiel

To be fair Yuma also takes off forward (1/2 turn prerotation) just slightly less prerotation than Shoma (over 1/2 turn). Only Malinin has the ideal take off (1/4 turn) with a very clear toe-pick use. I saw them from very close at the World's practice in March, I gotta say Yuma's Flip was the biggest and the smoothest regardless of the take off. Shoma's Flip always felt like he was short on rotation and actually lucky to be able to land it, while Yuma's Flip always felt like he clearly finished the rotation, then landed.

@@theojsn Ilia's are not text book either when you watch them in slow motion, sometimes there is very visible prerotation, or in fact none of them make them perfect, sometimes they are close to perfect and sometimes they are not, but this is normal, perfection is not human, I am waiting to see Adam's who said he plans to do it when he feels ready.
