Jia glides nicely, just point the toes a little and it will be awesome.
Oh, Amber's dress is so nice and feminine. Is Rinka back to Dr. Jin program? I liked it very much.

The question with Rinka is: will she kill it or will she kill herself. I hope for the first one.

I loved Amber's dress yesterday. I do not like this one. The stripes look like depression made visible.

It's the color blue-gray, but the style is nice.

The question with Rinka is: will she kill it or will she kill herself. I hope for the first one.

Hopefully Rinka will tame the rinky.

Rino ganbaaaaa

 

[TallyT]

This pink flower-bedecked dress would be kitsch, childish or cutesy on most skaters, but Rino makes it work.

those components are too low. much too low. WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT HER TO DO JUDGES

This program is stunning, the skating skills are incredible and every held leg extension is amazing to watch. The jumps were firing so well tonight, and when combined with the quality of her skating, it's just next-level to watch. It's such a shame about the fall on the steps, I gasped out loud, that was a hard fall and lost her 3-4 points.

Forget about the weird fall, what a beautiful skate was that Rino

 

[elektra blue]

Rino cracked a couple of nuts and two jumps, but that was great, i hope the judges agree with me

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Noo not the fall on the steps

 

[flanker]

Just when it looked there will be a clean skate... Rino messed the end completely.

 

[readernick]

I can't believe the queen of SS fell on her Stepseq. She's lovely. The panel is calling things today and her technical score might go down. But, that was lovely.. Her upper body does not have the same control as the lower body at times. But, this program does such a good job emphasizing her edges.

 

[Paulipau]

I hear the commentator Simon? Wheezing as he leaves his microphone on, you would think he would learn by mistakes but still....

Rino seemed slow and too careful today.

 

[TT_Fin]

Have step sequence falls become more common recently? Are skaters trying to improve their level so eager to get better scores that this happens?

 

[Ares]

Thank you Rino Matsuike. This was captivating. There were a couple of mistakes in the 2nd half including a fall on steps but she was the best so far

 

[cocteautwin]

Rino Few dicy moments but that was mesmerising. I could watch her for hours. She looked completely in the zone for the most part but lost it at the end.

 

[Jeanie19]

Rino. Beautiful dress and a nice program. Shame about the random fall. It was a really nice skate.

 

[GGFan]

Too bad about the mistakes but Rino gave me everything I needed at 5:30AM. Her skating skills are just wonderful. Some have more speed but no one is doing what she does on one foot. Just gorgeous.

 

[YuBluByMe]

This is the best international competition from Matsuike in years. She usually bombs one program - normally the SP - and comes back in the free. The fall on the steps was just unnecessary.
