2015 Worlds Ladies Free Skate March 28

[gourry]

Rika reminds me of Miki Ando in many ways.....

Congrats to Liza, but that was not a 130+ skate.

 

[taltaltel]

What a skate from Rika! Not her biggest fan but she sold that Carmen ridiculously well! Perhaps the bronze? :shocked:

 

[Scovies]

Rika! GURL. She's not my favorite skater by any means, but dang, she BROUGHT it. That skate was a whole lot of hard work paying off. Good for her.

free skate of the night so far : rika… by FAR in my opinion

 

[shiroKJ]

Rika is sooooooo consistence.

Seriously! She's even more concrete than Elena/Liza

 

[Sugarpova]

Sorry but I'm just playing I/Z's SD in my head while hearing this music.

hahaa thats def the way Ill be doing to from now on

 

[rollerblade]

YES YES YES! Woohoo Rika!

I SO want Rika to go ahead of Satoko, but that will mean Elena won't medal. What to do? :\

 

[willdu]

Such a solid skate. Good for her.

 

[Mangomango]

Woah... will Elena stay on the podium???

 

[MIM]

OMG! Hongo Rocks!!!!

 

[evangeline]

Who is more hunched, Hongo or Radionova?

Kovtun.

 

[cebi26]

Huge TES

 

[Mrs. P]

Hm...how will this score?

 

[andromache]

You have to hand it to Rika. Girl has got nerves of steel.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Rika's consistency is really quite impressive! I just wish she had more sass for a program like this. She has made improvements in selling her program over the course of the season though. Next season, tackle the posture!

 

[burntBREAD]

Might get a couple of URs and a couple of edge calls, but she's improved quite a lot this season! Keep working with Akiko this summer on posture and presentation!

 

[hikki]

Erika gave it all!!!!
She showed some attitude! There were some lovely moments.

 

[yelyoh]

Rika my favorite of the night!!!! I can see Akiko's work with her.
