Rinka WATANABE

3A WOW! (maybe q but looked solid)
3Lo smooth
3Lo+3T
Spiral + turn into 3F
FCSp
ChSq
3Lz+2A
2A+1Eu+3S soooo solid
CCoSp
3Lz<< NOOO!
StSq
FSSp

A total shame about the 3Lz<<, but by far the most complete performance of the day so far! A rising star in the Japanese field, what a great skate.

Aw loved Rinka's reaction after she finished

 

[Lynse]

So close to perfect. Wow! I will enjoy watching her perfect this!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Great skate, I would like it better if she'd emote more but that was such a good job

 

[Jeanie19]

Rinka. Pretty dress and a great skate.

 

[Jontor]

What a fantastic skate from Rinka! Great stuff!

Will this be her breakthrough season? Pity she doesn't have any GP assignments.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Yes, I enjoyed that from Rinka. I love it when we get to see skaters skating in traditional dress to their traditional music.

And the skating? What can you say?! Beautiful. Just beautiful.

Hey, everything was beautiful!

With that performance and the advantage she had over Katya from the SP, I have no doubt that we have a new leader.

EDIT: Wow! Over 17 points more than Katya in the FS alone! ​

Japan accepting the Korean challenge in the dress competition.

Hmm, I know I'm biased, but so far we are still on top I say

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Rinka came out of nowhere at Nats last year to finish 6th, and has been inconsistent since then but she seems to be finding that quality this season.

HOLY HAND GRENADES THAT SCORE

 

[EdgeCall]

146.31!!

 

[kmw227]

That’s an adorable score reaction!

 

[ptvvibezz]

Go Kaori!!!

 

[ana]

Wow Rinka. Great jumps. Great score.

 

[Dreamer57]

Wow Rinka, what a score!

 

[EdgeCall]

Hmm, I know I'm biased, but so far we are still on top I say

Yes you are.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Unpopular(?) opinion: I don't like all three Japanese ladies' dresses

 

[Lynse]

I hope more skater's learn from the Japanese skaters. They have such a good foundation to build on, and it shows!

 

[Jontor]

Wow. Love Kaori's new hairdo.
