2021 World Team Trophy - Day 3

[DSQ]

I think Stephane is a great coach but I wonder why there was such a drastic change here?

 

[Novalis]

Oh god, another Stsq2!

And she even ran out of improvising juice and REP the 3S.

Don't worry! Kaori will show the judges. With her blade that is.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

there's no rep right that was a mistake she did 3 combos already?
Oh Rika i dont get why japans fed sent when she was injured and kinda looked injured at worlds poor girl. Hope she can rest and recover now!
Honestly Lambiel is in terrible need of a jumping coach if he wants to keep Rika and Shoma their and his other students jumps have gotten worse with him which is worrisome.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

I'm intrigued that Stephane always seems to be carrying that backpack. What's in it I wonder!

He keeps all the quads in there. Time to unpack them Stephane, your skaters would need them!

 

[randomfan]

Not a terrible skate from Rika, but the REP, fall, and downgraded content will cost her a lot of points.

I enjoy watching her and this program, but I do wish she would just hold her ending poses a little...longer? It may seem like a minor thing but she does it very often and makes it almost seem like there's no ending at all.

 

[EdgeCall]

Poor Rika...4s and 3a aside, she really needs a good long program next year. This one, without the ultra c, seems kind of... boring?

I wouldn't exactly call it boring, but with a toned-down program like this she is of course not as competitive as she could be. A little bit disappointing, but in the end it doesn't count so much here.

Thank you Rika, happy holidays, full recovery and good luck for next year!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Baby Rika is so cute!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Is Shoma wearing a sequined mask?

I love that guy

 

[Vemvane]

Oh Rika. She's a marvellous skater, but she's been plagued by injuries and problems for the last two years, and I just want her to have a problem free senior season - no boot issues, no ankle or back injuries, no need for her to reduce the difficulty of her content. I do like International Angel of Peace better than the FP at Worlds, but valiantly as she skated, it just wasn't her best performance today. I hope she gets time to rest and heal now, so that she can come back guns blazing next season.

 

[Jontor]

Go Kaori!

I wanna see that slice-the-judges-move!

 

[bartlebooth]

I'm intrigued that Stephane always seems to be carrying that backpack. What's in it I wonder!

Sort of like the briefcase in Pulp Fiction

 

[anonymoose_au]

Goooo Kaori! Goooo!

 

[bartlebooth]

I half expect Brian Joubert to storm the rink and start skating.
The call of The Matrix

 

[anonymoose_au]

Goooo Kaori! Goooo!

 

[bartlebooth]

I love Kaori's jumps

 

[anonymoose_au]

That fan spiral will become legendary!

Kaori's on fire!!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Yes Kaori!!! Judges give her all the points!!

 

[Novalis]

Amazing!
