2022-23 Japan National Championships - Women's SP

[lileychristie]

Taking this opportunity to point out that nearly every turn Rinka does in this program goes clockwise and she doesn't get enough credit for that

Rinka or Rika?

 

[zanadude]

Man, first Orser ruined Medvedeva, now he's ruining Kihira...

 

[EdgeCall]

Japanese Ladies vs. Russian men. And the men are delivering! Oh the cruelties of being a figure skating fan ...

 

[elektra blue]

not the skate she wanted, i believe, but it was a good fight

Ah Rika, too bad on that 3S+2T, but glad the loop was fine this time around.

Come back stronger in the FS, like you've done all this season!

Japanese Ladies vs. Russian men. And the men are delivering! Oh the cruelties of being a figure skating fan ...

maybe our cacti are delivering exactly because we're watching women here in Japan

Maria won whole Eastern Sectionals, so disappointment there

 

[yesterday]

can someone translate Rika?

 

[YuBluByMe]

I was hoping Egawa would do well here. I like her skating a lot.

 

[Sai Bon]

Oh no, looks like Rinky has awakened...

 

[balabam]

But great fight from Rinka with 3Lo+3T in second half!

 

[elektra blue]

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Nice recovery with the combo, Rinka!

 

[zanadude]

Moulin Rouge was a terrible movie, but it did give us fifty million skating routines.
