Now emotional Rinka

 

[yesterday]

Rinka Watanabe and Rion Sumiyoshi skated NHK gala in 2013 and 2016 respectively as novice champion.

That would be an interesting statistics, looking at all of them who "made it back" how often that happens

Matteo with his old short? free?
Remember, he's had those classy costumes last season

Kovalevs - they totally match Matteo's outfit!
