Medalist episode 11 recap

Medalist episode 11, titled Dance the Night, commenced with Inori's ice-skating agency getting ready for the upcoming training camp. As children gathered around for the departures, the teachers asked everyone about what the young ones would be working on in the upcoming training camp. As everyone proudly told their aims, Rioh gave everyone a grim look.
Where the girls relaxed after taking a bath and returning to their rooms, Tsukasa decided to give himself some alone time in the public baths. However, he was surprised to see Rioh outside his room beyond his curfew time. Without asking any questions, these two entered the bath and enjoyed it until Tsukasa finally brought up the question of why Rioh wasn't training for anything specific.

After a lot of thinking, Rioh asked Tsukasa the rank of his badge. To Rioh's surprise, Tsukasa was still on the preliminary badge. Rioh then berated Tsukasa to quit teaching him because it was impossible for the latter to teach someone of a higher rank. While Tsukasa did take this insult seriously, he was adamant about making Rioh eat his words with practice.
The next day, when everyone was achieving progress in their practice, Rioh stumbled. Tsukasa then confronted Rioh and learned how he was trying to be like Yodoka Jun, the Olympic medalist. However, without berating the child, Tsukasa took him and rushed back to the ice rink, claiming to make Rioh do his regular practice after everyone was off to their rooms.
