Shoma Uno and Yuma Kagiyama practiced for the first time Thursday at the Capitol Indoor Stadium in Beijing, the venue for the figure skating competition at the Beijing Olympics.

Uno and Kagiyama arrived from Japan the day before, and showed no signs of fatigue as they checked the condition of the rink.
