I doubted she'd win unless she landed both her 3As, so now she's fallen on one it's the matter of podium or not (unless, of course, somebody else has a breakdown)

She repeted 3A and 3Lz, the 2T was planned, a 3T after the lutz would get 0. The only mistake was the fall
She's not going to be able to win with that, but you know what, it's ok. I'm already so proud of her for what she's done this season, and she was smiling at the end of her skate, so all's well that ends well. It would be nice if she can still podium... but again, it's ok. Cheers, my darling! 
Now go to WTT and have the time of your life!

Rika Kihira (JPN)
Tech:
- Beautiful 3A+3T! Wow!
- Ouch, a heavy fall on the second 3A attempt, oh-no
- Beautiful tano 3Lo
- Camel spin right on the music, nice catchoot and I-spin (Lvl 4)
- Good timing through the footwork sequence (Lvl 4)
- Good 3Lz+2T, nice height
- Strong 3F(rip)
- Quick and easy layback spin (Lvl 4)
- Great 3Lz+2T+2Lo
- Solid flying sit spin
- Good series of spirals in choreo sequence
- Strong 3S to end the program
Pres:
- It may not be the perfect performance she was looking for, but still one that might catapult her to the podium. Shame that was t tilted in the air with the second 3A. Not as sterling as her performance at NHK, just a bit more tentative with the speed, but she went for it. Even with the fall, a very high technical performance full of strong triple jumps.
FS Score: 152.59, 82.63, 70.96, -1 Deduction
Total Score: 223.49 (currently 1st)

There's more to her than that. I think my favorite part of the program is actually the choreographic sequence. She's made her name as One To Watch. And she deserves it, not just for the 3A.

I can understand some skaters being better at SP than FS, but for Rika it's reversed. Odd!
With Alina's massive lead and PCS advantage, Alina doesn't even have to go super clean to beat Rika! The other ladies though, Alina may have to watch out for.

I wonder why she doesn't do an -eu-3S and a 2A though. Would be much stronger than repeating 2T.

Forgot you can only repeat two triples.That was already planned. She had two 3A and two Lz already.
