Medalist episode 4 recap
Medalist episode 4, titled Meikoh Cup Beginner Women's FC (Part One), commenced with Inori preparing for their performance at the Meikoh Cup. As expected, the colors of her hard work were visible through her training and Tsukasa was hoping that the female protagonist could showcase her full potential during her performance in the competition.
On the day of the competition, Inori was surprised by her sister who returned from Canada to witness the female protagonist's performance. She was optimistic that Inori's performance would be amazing and that she would not share the same fate as her sister. On the other hand, Inori's mother was still skeptical about letting her daughter continue ice skating.
The Meikoh Cup began, and everyone was doing their warm-up practice. Unfortunately, Inori messed up, which had everyone worried. However, Tsukasa, the coach, remained optimistic and didn't let Inori get depressed. At night, Inori's mother visited Tsukasa and urged him to stop Inori. However, the female protagonist popped out of nowhere and stopped her mother.
The next day, the Meikoh Cup began with Inori as the first performer. Her performance began with some blunders but she improvised her blunders and made them a part of her performance. She also showcased some new moves that Tsukasa didn't teach him. After the performance, Inori's mother hugged the female protagonist, hinting that she might have finally accepted Inori's interests.
What to expect from Medalist episode 5? (speculative)
Medalist episode 5 title is yet to be revealed. As hinted by the title of the previous episode, the next episode will be the second part of the Meikoh Cup, featuring the performances of other students.
One of these students might be Miketah, who declared Inori her rival. With the female protagonist as the highest scorer in the competition, will Medalist episode 5 showcase a better performance than Inori's?
