2016 Four Continents Ladies Free Skate

[rollerblade]

Noooo. The 3F was so good, and she couldn't hang on to the 3T. Was she spooked by the barrier?

 

[andromache]

So I'm a huge fan of Rika's Riverdance, but her footwork is lacking all the OOMPH it's supposed to have. She started this season off so strong and is kind of fizzling out.

 

[karne]

Seriously Mirai has one good international competition and she's ready for Worlds?

Apparently so.

 

[moriel]

THIS!

I dunno, Gracie is so pushed up... Maybe would do her well if she knew that it will not be granted to her anymore?

 

[ioanablabla]

Damn , i missed it! what's happening? who is skating? a link? prays

Final series of the Russian Cup. The 3rd world entry for the women will be selected afterward.

Actually they won't change any entries. Everything is already decided. Team Bratislava goes to Boston.

 

[Bumdid]

She might get UR on some of these jumps. It's a bit hooked.

 

[rollerblade]

Oh Rika, those illusion spins are terrible. Please exclude them for Worlds.

 

[narcissa]

This LP from Rika is amazing!

As a performance, just for entertainment and infectious fun value, Rika's is BY FAR my favorite this year. Too bad about the fall this time but I still loved watching!

 

[invisiblespiral]

Apart from the fall, that was nice.

 

[randomfan]

I this program but today was a bit off. That fall looked so painful...but good job for fighting to the end! The audience loved it too.

 

[Meoima]

Oh Rika, those illusion spins are terrible. Please exclude them for Worlds.

Her Illusion spin rivals Anna's, when it comes to sloppiness. :roll9:

 

[Sorrento]

Oh Rika, I wish you did not fall.

 

[frida80]

I think she recovered well from that fall.

 

[SarahSynchro]

I'm not feeling Rika's program today... Meh.

 

[Sugarpova]

I dunno, Gracie is so pushed up... Maybe would do her well if she knew that it will not be granted to her anymore?

nah everythhing will be handed out to her like always:scowl:

 

[Giselle]

I have the feeling that Gracie is going to medal :scard7:

 

[matcha]

I just love watching Rika. She's so charming and affable on the ice, she really looks like she enjoys being out there.

(Wish her spins were a bit faster, though).
