#RinkaWatanabe’s 🇯🇵 #渡辺倫果 reaction when being asked again at the press conference about her unusual hobby of “collecting figures and goods of Bathynomus giganteus” - she told she first came across this creature in an auquarium in Junior High school. 🪲 #GPFigure #SCI22

#RinkaWatanabe 🇯🇵 #渡辺倫果 🥇: “I am totally overwhelmed and happy, I never expected to win the gold here. My goal was to score over 200 points, so 213 totally outreached my expectation!” She hopes to still try real Italian pasta 🍝 while in 🇮🇹. #LombardiaTrophy #CSFigure

#RinkaWatanabe 🇯🇵 #渡辺倫果 197.59 - “ I am so happy I landed my 3A. I almost fell on my last 3Lz but overall I am very pleased with my first #GPFigure experience.” She wants to add another 3A to her LP soon and of course is dreaming of going to the WC in Japan!”

#RinkaWatanabe 🇯🇵 #渡辺倫果 PB 72.58: “This is I think the first time I landed my 3A in the SP & I am super happy about that! I have actually no idea how I ended up in the #GPFinal after not having any GPs. 😉 I try not to think about it and treat it like any other competition.”

#RinkaWatanabe 🇯🇵 #渡辺倫果 66.83: “My goal for the SP is scoring over 70 but despite the mistake I feel happy with my score & my skate. In practices the 3A comes naturally but it’s different in comp so I need to practice more.” She is working on 4Lo & 4Lz but they aren’t ready.
