Here’s a translation of Rinka Watanabe’s comments posted on Nikkansports about her performance at the Cup of China Grand Prix where the athlete placed second.
“Even though I didn’t attempt a Triple Axel, I feel like I was able to showcase everything I can do at this moment. Achieving 138 points gives me confidence for the future, so I’m really glad I worked hard this time,” said Watanabe about her free program at the Cup of China.
Looking ahead to the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, she analytically stated, “Up until this season, whether it’s good or bad, I see it as a season where I can gain a lot of experience. From the next season onwards, it won’t be as forgiving, and I’ll need to consistently achieve good results.”
