Figure skating is not gonna die out in Japan anytime soon. These skaters keep bringing it in NHK

I must admit, Rika was superb! Now, Alena!!!!

Unless Satoko can pull off a miracle, which is unlikely, Rika's won!

Ted Barton, Angel: "What a dramatic and moving program from Rika Kihira, and together with a historic moment. That was the first 3A-3T in senior competition, and she followed it up with another textbook 3A. Just so, so impressive. Rika, of course, was the first lady in history to land that combination, at last year's junoir grand prix final.

That's not to overshadow the skill and power of the rest of her performance, either. This young lady is quick, graceful, and has lovely clean lines. We're truly privileged to watch her coming into her own."

LMAO
This is golden!

By the way, Rika is so chaotic that she was actually planning 3A2T but she went for the triple triple because oh, the audacity!

Oh yeeeah Alena I appreciate a good jump sequence in front of the judges.

Bring it!

 

[WeakAnkles]

Leonova, looking tres chic today.

Elegant simplicity is simply elegant.

 

[Danny T]

Oh my goodness Alena :shocked:

 

[anonymoose_au]

I hope she does because otherwise, i will be upset.

True.

Although I'm still rooting for Liza...I hope she can make the podium!

Happy to see Alëna skating with such heart and confidence!

 

[GGFan]

Loved every second of Alena's costume and her owning her 90s style figure skating. Transitions?? What are those?

Bah, the judges only give Kihara mid-8s on the PCS.... :roll5:

And deserved. She is not there yet for more PCS. Give her some time to grow.
