Good news for Rika Inoda - her skates finally arrived today and she skated her short program after the Novice Men finished their free program.
She had a 6 minute warm-up during which she landed 2 very nice 3s but fell on it during her short. She then was given a 5 minute practise. Here's my notes on her short
