2018 Nepela Trophy Ladies Free Skate

[Spirals for Miles]

Polina is so far the only Russian lady to finish off the podium this season
Trusova refuses to be beaten!

Against to the song Rika will hurt a lot of hopes this season... Well done, nice program :clapper:

 

[frida80]

147!

 

[Ziotic]

I wonder if a clean Alina would've beaten this...

It would be criminal if it did. Rikas skating is so much more refined.

 

[MaiKatze]

A NEW ERA! I'm so happy.

 

[rikaquegira]

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!! I’m too happy to even write anything!
I’m just gonna freak out here real quick! BYE

 

[anonymoose_au]

what was her score? Did she manage to beat Trusova's FS record?

It was very big...She got 218 something all together, so she beat Lil' Bet by like 20 points!

And now I have to head off to bed...once "What is Love?" finishes enjoy the rest of the competition!

I've never actually paid attention to Rika before this, but I think I'm slightly in love with her now

It's hard to beat a three quad 2 triple triple program.

 

[readernick]

Yes! I voted for Rika to win this competition. It all comes down to her nerves because her talent is not in question. I am so proud of her. She kept calm!

 

[ancientpeas]

I mean to be honest she could have come out and done 3 clean triples and we all would have thought she'd fed the masses with 3 loaves and 2 fishes.

Really, really impressive skating from Rika.

 

[Marius]

Great skate from Rika! Those two 3 Axels were sooo easy! Congratulations on a great international senior debut (and with the new free skating world record score )

 

[TheBallerina]

what was her score? Did she manage to beat Trusova's FS record?

147. Higher than Trusova's FS record, but not on the total score (218)

 

[xeyra]

Rika!!!!!! So proud of her. That was awesome. I think her FS is definitely my favorite of the ladies this season. The music and choreo is so good.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

What are the overall standings?

 

[frida80]

what was her score? Did she manage to beat Trusova's FS record?

No. Just missed it by a few points. If she landed her 3A it would've happen. Rika is really close to Yuna's 2010 Vancouver score.

Rika takes FS record but Sasha still holds total score record of 221.

ouch
well, and we also got another JGP soon, so lets see what Trusova does now.
Pity Sasha is not in seniors, we could have some epic 3A/Quad showdown =(

 

[yume]

Rika is the 2nd lady to land two cleans 3As in a program.

FS score 147 and change! WOW!! She is unbelievably talented! Congrats!
