Medalist episode 3 recap

Medalist episode 3, Taiyaki and Cake, commenced with Tsukasa offering Inori a chance to participate in the upcoming Meikoh Cup, a mid-summer ice-skating competition. As Inori wanted to become a bonafide ice skater, she had to prove her worth to her mother, which might only be possible by winning competitions. So, this was her golden opportunity.

The next day, Inori was introduced to other students from her ice-skating school. As she was having trouble practicing, Tsukasa demonstrated his skills before her. This eased her tension, and Inori's mood lightened up. While these two were practicing, another student, Miketa, hit Tsukasa while fighting. Miketa was really interested in Inori.

The next day, Miketa started pulling Inori around and told the female protagonist to avoid taking advice from his coach. However, Inori was adamant about taking advice from professionals, and Miketa declared Inori her rival. These two then stopped talking and practiced alone. Inori had difficulty maintaining her spin, and Tsukasa worried for her.

However, one day, Tsukasa encountered a runaway dog who was chasing its tail. Looking at its spin, Tsukasa immediately rushed to the ice rink and gave Inori a crucial tip on maintaining it. As expected, this tip worked wonders, and Inori was now qualified enough to participate in the upcoming Meikoh Cup.

What to expect from Medalist episode 4? (speculative)

Medalist episode 4 is titled Meikoh Cup Beginner Women's FC. As hinted by the preview synopsis, the next episode will see the appearance of Inori's sister, whose ice skating career ended after an injury. Moreover, as hinted by the climax of the previous episode, the next episode will see Inori entering the Meikoh Cup.

As expected, Inori is still an amateur and falls numerous times on the ice rinks. However, her ice skating career depends on her ice skating skills. Will Inori push through and win her first competition?
