2025 GP Finlandia Trophy Women's Free Skate

[Ares]

The 2nd half of the program of Rina Matsuike was to die for

 

[elektra blue]

she looks like a tropical bird... and she's taking us to the Amazon forest

This year, towards the run up to the Olympics, has not been something that has got me transfixed to this season.

But this program was worth coming back to the forum. Her edges look like someone milking every bit they can. Gorgeous skills. The PCS from judges is a shame,

 

[Demandred]

Only 8.04 for skating skills, WTH judges...

 

[Mathematician]

63 yep

Her SS could be higher but otherwise high 7s is deserved. Neither the PR nor CO are astonishing. She is still a point over everyone else in both categories.

 

[CellarDweller]

She went for the quad, too bad about the fall.

Oh dear, Rion down on the opening 4toe attempt and that was nowhere close to being rotated.

 

[Dawn825]

This dress is extremely bizarre, but I least I get what they're going for I guess, compared to the previous iteration that was just a mess.

 

[Mathematician]

What is the point in attempting 4T? As someone in another thread put it: it is a planned fall.

 

[4everchan]

so it seems Rino didn't lose much bv

So wrong!!!!

 

[museksk8r]

OMG, poor Rion is falling apart here. So sad to see. Looks like Rinka can pack her bags for the GPF now.

 

[flanker]

Ouch. Not 4T fall that was normal fall but that 3S was eek , fortunately she seems OK.

 

[Warwick360]

Rion's costume reminding me of Bradie's climate/greta costume, except more prettier.

Shame about the falls though.

 

[reneerose]

She probably just wanted to do it in case she landed it...?

 

[CellarDweller]

Oh, this is going badly

 

[museksk8r]

Please Rion, get through this program without seriously getting hurt. She is freaking me out!

it used to be a thing 20 years + ago... A planned fall on the quad that you do not have was still worth more points for some men, when there were more jumping passes (8) It was worth it as otherwise, they had to include an extra double axel... . but things evolve..

In this case, the planned fall is worse because it has probably messed something up with her... this is a disastrous skate

Rion is a patriot and wanted to help her fed with the olympic selection
