Glass of champas with a kick, clears the sinuses out I guess…

Rinka survived not her best but still a good fight

 

[Jeanie19]

Rinka. Good program and good skate.

 

[EdgeCall]

Not a clean skate but still beautiful. Such a nice flow throughout.

Clean skate from Madeline!

But she needs to up her tech. Two Salchows and Toeloops will never get her to the top.

well... she had a much harder layout and was failing with it all season... so that was the appropriate choice.

 

[YuBluByMe]

I’ll take it. Watanabe should move up quite a bit in the standings.

 

[silvia]

Rinka skating is not for the faint of heart

 

[anonymoose_au]

Aww poor Rinka, but the standing O and sea of flags look to be cheering her up!

Uhoh, Belinda delivery bad news about some of the jumps... We might have to begin a Maddie count?

 

[icewhite]

Nice to see she's happy.

I can easily see her in a Samurai movie...

Awwwww coach Nakaniwa

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Shame about the 3A fall, she did a beautiful one during the warm-up

But otherwise a really good skate for Rinka. Changing her layout has really worked well for her.

As for the costume, I think it stands out much better against the ice than her previous costume, so it looks very good in wide shots, but I think I prefer the other one close-up. Purple looks great on her, so she should definitely think of that colour for her next costumes too.

[anonymoose_au]

This music always makes me think of Anna and Luca.

Aaaaaah, I revealed your identity, Chris Howarth!

I need to check the calendar to see if it's actually 2023 and there are singers like Dua Lipa and Lizzo out there or if I just dreamed that.

 

[EdgeCall]

Marvellous skate. Clean, simple and elegant.

 

[elektra blue]

great Nina! i enjoyed every single moment of it despite the fact i'm not a fan of her music

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Nina what a beautiful skate
