2023 Four Continents Women's Free Skate

Go Rinka!

Maddie seemed to be really struggling with the altitude. I'm just catching up, though. Has that been a thing tonight?

 

[desertskates]

Worried for Maddie, she’s not done great in the free this year iirc

Poor girl. I hope everything is ok injury wise. I feel like West Side Story is a weird fit for her. The Madame Butterfly was nice, maybe going back to that for worlds is a better move?

Poor Maddie. She's certainly struggling and that dress is very unflattering.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Ok, which Rinka tonight…

 

[anonymoose_au]

A 3A! Hooray!

 

[CellarDweller]

We have a 3A!

Altitude has been a killer.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

3A!!!

 

[CellarDweller]

A 3A and then a pop on a lutz. Ugh. Fight, Rinka!!

 

[labgoat]

Inner ear problem maybe? Stop skating for a few days and see if fluid levels balance out and restore her equilibrium

Ok, which Rinka tonight…

The nice one!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Rinka landed her 3A shame about the pop but otherwise she did everything perfectly

 

[invisiblespiral]

Clean 3a from Rinka!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow nice!

Wonderfully done by Rinka!

 

[4everchan]

Good job Rinka !!!!

 

[CellarDweller]

Oh, she looks pleased for herself. I'm happy for her.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

And we got GRAND PRIX GOLD MEDALIST Rinka tonight!!! Just one pop, getting back into the groove before Worlds!

 

[4everchan]

I hope so, but I worry she’ll be pressured at Worlds due to the issue of spots for Montreal

at the same time, top ten is tough for anyone not Japanese Korean American or Loena.. because that's already 10 skaters.

Rinka. Really good skate, great 3A, one popped jump.
