MOHIR caught Rika.

 

[nolangoh]

After the nerve-wrecking week and to give a performance like that you gotta give her the PCS she deserves. The last 3F shows she totally went for it.

 

[Plisskin]

Well, she tried and fought. I felt exhausted watching her though, even though I'm in my bed on my laptop eating caramel popcorn.

 

[EdgeCall]

Oh Rika, I want to hug you. Always fighting so hard to no avail.

 

[frida80]

My goodness..Tara is skewering Rika on everything

And this is why I'm not watching nbc feed.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Started with a pop and ended with a fall.

 

[Bonnie]

:hopelessness:

 

[kresslia]

Is there a NBCSN stream?

 

[Sasha'sSpins]

Stupid cameraman pulls away just as Rika gets up on her toe picks to do a little Irish jig. I especially loathe his overhead shots, what the heck is that?

Triple flip at the end! She did fight for it!

 

[SarahSynchro]

I suspect Rika's performance has a lot to do with Satoko withdrawing relatively recently. She likely hasn't been training at 100% since 4CCs.

 

[Yatagarasu]

My goodness..Tara is skewering Rika on everything

I wouldn't watch NBC because of Tara's nonsense even if someone paid me.

 

[MaiKatze]

She's injured and didn't think she would skate at Worlds. I hate that our commentators don't know the facts and just keep on blabbing how bad it was.

 

[MIM]

Rika did everything she could, but she fell on 3F at the end. Japanese fans clap all along her skating. They made this performance 150% better than it is, with the support. Great Job Rika and fans!

 

[cathlen]

:sad21:

 

[kevinVchicago]

It was depressing that coach didn't hug her. The whole thing depressed me actually.

 

[liv]

She gave it her best shot, but sometimes things do not work out. Nice try, Rika. You anwered the call and did your best.

 

[thoakun]

Stream died and then I saw TES box of 1.95. Oh dear :sad14:.
This can prompt JSF to think their selection procedure next year.

 

[snowflake]

So sad

 

[Alchamei]

107.28...

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Aiiiiii, poor Rika :hopelessness:

I hope the federation doesn't blame her if Japan doesn't get 3 Oly spots. Everyone knew she's been battling an injury
