Interview with Rino Matsuike

 Interview with Rino Matsuike

At Skate Canada International 2024 in Halifax, I had the privilege of speaking with Rino Matsuike just before her flight back to Japan. Rino, who earned a silver medal at this event, previously captured bronze in 2023. Rino’s journey is a testament to perseverance and excellence in figure skating, making her success all the more inspiring. During our brief 10-minute chat, I was captivated by her humility following such a thrilling night.  I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I do!
