2017 World Ladies SP

[Meoima]

Gooooooooo ANNA!!!

 

[bartlebooth]

Glad Rika held it together.

 

[Kittosuni]

I thought Ashley said that after nationals she added more transitions to both her programs. Were there seriously more transitions? Looked the same as it did at nationals in January to me...

Shoulder shimmie shimmie is not a transition

 

[andromache]

Rika just hasn't made any progress to her skating since the start of last season. It makes me sad because she's so endearing as a performer.

 

[thoakun]

Rika looked scared before taking on the ice but I underestimated her competitiveness. . I don't even want to think about the fight for silver and bronze, let alone 3 spots and Japan Nats next year

 

[Chemistry66]

GS is slowly dying

 

[lady_bee]

Rika didn't fall! Rika didn't fall!

I was watching with my eyes half closed, because I saw her so nervous.
But she fought for it:hap93: That's enough for me!

 

[Alchamei]

Japan are doomed... Just 62.55 :eeking:

 

[nolangoh]

FINALLY the PCS she deserves long before now!!!!!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Rika slayed the Carmina burana.

I still haven't been able to find the vocal version she uses. Has anyone?

[Seren]

Even in the second group, she's not in a bad position for LP. She's an LP skater through and through, likes coming from behind, and judges will reward her if she delivers.

With as close as things are I think this is actually a good position for Ashley. She likes being the underdog and some one the pressure will be off her which will let her focus on herself.

Go Anna!

 

[frida80]

My lovely Anna!

 

[MaiKatze]

I'm so scared...*bitingintopillow* Anna has to skate PB for 2nd. Argh...

 

[Alchamei]

Gooo Anna!!!!

 

[Icey]

why is Hongo there if she is injured?

 

[OS]

Go Annaaaa!!!!!! This is it!!

 

[SarahSynchro]

Oh wow, 11th place for Rika?!

 

[Elaine]

Now the time for my favourite short program this season!
