she is wonderful!! 3A in the warmup was perfect but she didnt let it affect the rest of the program :clapper:

Rika is such a charming kid on the ice. She just radiates.

 

[liv]

Really like her skating. She has the difficult stuff, very smooth, listened to the music and skated TO it.... so much potential!!!

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Love Rika! Strong performance, even with the 3A fall. Much improved since last year.

 

[Tulipstar]

Rika is so nice in the way she takes those presents and appreciating them.
:thumbsup:

 

[frida80]

69 TES? When that 3A is clean it will be at 74!

 

[Ender]

I feel bad about the SP, but hopefully Kihira will medal, silver please!

 

[EdgeCall]

Now that's some music cut ... :roll9:

 

[silverfoxes]

It's nice to see a Japanese girl skating to something non-warhorse or princessy for a change, but she isn't really doing anything with it...

The 3a was so huge and so perfect in warmups I was afraid she'd launch it during her program and forget how to do everything else. Well...as always I was completely wrong.

Great skate by Rika. I'm thinking she gets a medal

Interesting music choice for this young skater. Love me some Cher, but surprising for a young junior. But, Nice to hear something different in a war horse year, lol!!

That final combo!

Go Alisa + Dasha

 

[Chemistry66]

Yuhana's flapper costume is awesome.

Sad about the errors but that combo at the end of the program, wow.

 

[matcha]

A three jump combo to finish? Damn, Yuhana!

 

[s_parks]

Oh, I love Alison's dress.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Yuhana's flapper costume is awesome.

Yeah! The costume is appropriate for the music (and a junior). And that combo at the end was STRONG. Way to beat her PB by 17 points!
