2018-19 Japanese National FS Championships Ladies' FS

Kihira's 3Lo look even lower than Satoko's and yest somehow completes rotation. Her rotational speed is insanity.

 

[Interspectator]

What a skate! :eeking:

 

[champs]

That was a creative improvised change to +1Eu+2S from +2T+2Lo she originally planned to do.

 

[GGFan]

RIKA!! It's not only the axels. I love that program!! So happy Mie and Tom care about well-rounded skating. :hap57:

 

[Danny T]

Yes yes yes yes yes

Thank you god and Jesus and Allah and all possibly existing deity thank you thank you!!!

 

[brens78]

Well Done Rika! Has she done enough to be crowned the new Japanese Queen yet?

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Rika omg

 

[MaiKatze]

Please churn out the mega score for your National Champion, Japan, like she deserves. No reason to be conservative now.

That was a creative change to +1Eu+2S from what originally planned.

i didn't even understand it was unplanned, what had she planned originally?

 

[Ichatdelune]

Just the doubled salchow, otherwise great stuff (though I think performance-wise she was a bit better at NHK, but then with NHK I had a better stream) throughout.

?_?

Is she trying to add a 2A to her program in place of the 3S?

I really liked the 3S ending so I hope it doesn't change.

Rika is becoming the queen of comeback in the free.

Yes, her loop is definitely her worst jump. But, baring an amazing skate from someone else. She is the Japanese national champion.

 

[Metis]

Oh man. I’m thrilled for Rika but also please stay strong, Wakababy. I need you to make 4CC or Worlds

 

[Danny T]

I think original plan was 3Lz-Eu-3S then 2A

But since she popped 3S to 2S, she can still do the final 3S to maximise BV. Good girl

She planning the 4S as final jump at worlds

 

[Ichatdelune]

Well Done Rika! Has she done enough to be crowned the new Japanese Queen yet?

Isn't she already? With the Japanese media calling her the new Asada Mao and all.

 

[Danny T]

The least important observation ever but I think the euler is UR

 

[champs]

She planned to do 3Lz-2T-2Lo but ended up stepping out of the first jump so made that into an Euler combo
