I can't believe I'm writing this, and I can't believe it when I started this thread that it would see the day Rino qualified for the senior Grand Prix Final Congratulations

Also I have finally updated the first post of this thread.

It really has been a long 6 years since I first saw Rino in person, in the summer of 2018. So many things have happened, and I'm not going to lie, there were times where I.. let go, in a way, because I really don't want someone whose skating is so beautiful to suffer under the demands of the sport. The sport and the pressure is not for everyone, and I don't want to hold it against Rino that things just didn't seem to have come together for her because of one reason or another.

I think aside from the free skates she did this season internationally that made fans "see" her again and love her skating, one of the things I'll remember from this GP series was that Rino admitted she felt frustrated that she couldn't win the gold at Finlandia Trophy, and that she realized the win was at play for her.
