2016 JGP Ljubljana Cup Ladies FS

[Layback11]

The age of Rika Kihara's 3A has begun!

 

[andromache]

Was it rotated?

I thought it had a slight hook on the end.

It's tough watching most skaters at this level after seeing Marin. Her performance skills are just .

 

[Tyranid]

That was a 3A didn't look like a 3A in real time........

Whippy jump kids - the bane of women's singles.

edit: christ, shes shuch a fast rotator that even on the replay the 3A didn't look like a 3A. COME ON ALISSA!!!!

 

[Layback11]

This girl is not going to miss the Final without a bang. And when she's landing the jumps, her performance skills improve SO much...just WOW.

 

[largeman]

LOVE!

She KILLED it!

 

[yyyskate]

Rika gotta win this!

 

[Interspectator]

[Meoima]

[Interspectator]

[silverfoxes]

I love Rika...she's definitely my favorite Japanese girl now :gclap:

 

[Li'Kitsu]

Yes yes yes, 3A!!!!

Some other landings were a bit tight, but overall, very well done!

 

[cathlen]

First time I saw Eun Soo... she's so adorable and so talented! Lovely to watch, good jumps. Such a promising young lady

Lim is a joy to watch and so is her fellow countrylady, Ye Le Kim, both of whom are first year JGP competitors. I think all of the thanks goes to the Queen of Korea, who really put K on the map and inspired young girls throughout that country, well done Korea (but I still want US to win, but have to give credit where credit is due)

Did we just have the first ever 8-triple program by a lady (junior or senior)!!??

 

[Nathan13]

WHOA watch out Tsurskaya...

 

[randomfan]

[skatelikewind1966]

[Layback11]

I feel bad for Alina, having to follow that...
