2022-23 Japan National Championships - Women's FS

By the audience reaction, someone was landing something impressive during warmup...and it wasn't Rinka because she was on camera

Rion?

Nevermind, forgot for a moment that Hana is also in this group~

 

[YuBluByMe]

Rinka and Rion always seem to manage to "stick" themselves together ey (well, apart from their GP)

I started referring to them as Watanayoshi.

Rion most probably or maybe Hana

Fell apart at the end, but not a total disaster.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Is there any information about what happened with Rino this season? The split of her coaches could be a reason? I don't know anything about an injury on her, she looked so strong at the finish of last season

She was injured during summer
No specifics on the injury

 

[cohkaix]

I think Rinka is probably tired...but a really nice fight for the beginning 3A and the program!

I could cry, that was sooo close

 

[Ichatdelune]

Uh my stream just skipped and I missed half of Watanabe Rinka's skate

 

[lileychristie]

Rinka!! Too bad on that one fall, but it'll be a big score regardless.

Also, has she ever landed that last lutz cleanly? I think she should change it to literally anything else

 

[elektra blue]

keep it together, Rinka!

 

[SXTN]

Has Rinka ever landed the last 3Lz in the fs cleanly? It's ridiculous...

 

[hermine17]

Great fight from Rinka!

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Show that ice whose boss Rion! (THAT'S YOU!!!)
Go get that 4T bb!
GANBA!!!

And after her injury as mentioned by @tsuyoboogie, she got really sick during skate america and had to withdraw from the FS.
And she still seems to not recover fully since then...

 

[EdgeCall]

184 at least.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

KEEP IT TOGETHER!!!

 

[RafaelAstro]

Rinka can do a 3S at the end it would be better for her

 

[tsuyoboogie]

dammit my stream froze!
