2015 Finlandia Trophy Ladies SP and FS

[Sorrento]

Go Rika!

 

[OS]

So much maturity in this's package, my heart sings with this piece of music, one of the early rare OST I saved up money to buy based on MK's program, I am thinking of legacy... Kwan > Yuna > Soyoun just like the story of the red violin

This is an intricate,and not so obvious or easy music to skated to, to add much maturity and highlight nuances in her artistic development. This version is almost devoid lyricism of the original. Massive strides she made this year from last. I can't wait to see it again! I can see how much hard work she has poured into this. Now sort out these tech issues, improve consistency, and your PCS has a good chance to shoot up. Good effort!! Well done.

Gorgeous dress... off shoulder theme

Ah now see, that was a tano jump that was well done. Her arm above her head didn't interfere with the quality or make her go tilted-as-can-be in the air

 

[minze]

Rika has improved so much. Her team has done a great job with music this season

 

[satine]

oh no a pop :hopelessness:

 

[OS]

Rika is determined to make Green her lucky colour

 

[Sackie]

Funny that Park beat Joshi on the PCS marks where in the short Joshi was ahead by over 2 pts! Wonder if they kept Joshi's low for a reason given who is right behind her in 4th place after the short who she also beat in PCS in the short!

 

[minze]

Rika is a star

One pop, otherwise good skate. Nice energy, though still lacking some refinement.

Rika was on fire! Unexpected pop, but still good job! Nice music too.

 

[tulosai]

OMG Rika that was AWESOME!!!! Beautiful dress, beautiful skate, really good energy and performance. I am becoming a real fan!!!

 

[satine]

Rika I LOVE you! You aren't perfect, but you have made such progress

 

[ahy]

Amazing consistency omg [emoji7] she has the fire and determination, just love it [emoji7]

 

[andromache]

YAY RIKA!!!!

That dress is my everything .

Her performance ability has improved so much since last season! She had the pop and maybe URs sometimes, but I am never afraid that this girl is going to fall down. Unbelievably reliable.

 

[kwanatic]

Good job Rika! Lots of energy and fun with this program. Little mistake on the loop and possible UR on the 3-3 but everything was really solid and very entertaining.

 

[Mista Ekko]

interestingly, Rika shows all her energy and connection to the program in the last minute alone.

 

[cleo2070]

lovely program from Rika!

 

[Kuan]

This is 1:1 Jasons music cut But like her dress

 

[Interspectator]

Needs more speed throughout but she gave it as much as she could Kudos Rika. Strong, strong skate.
Crowd seemed to love it too.

 

[HR4]

Very nice skate from Rika! May be for the first time I really enjoyed her performance!
