Was that a Quad Sal?

I need the BOX I can't tell!

 

[Skatefan15]

Wow! Amazing quad! Looked so easy. 3A wasn’t too bad either.

 

[YuBluByMe]

I’m breaking down! Go Kihira go!!!!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Oh Rika why did you put your tights over your boots ?

Ban it I say! Ruins a perfectly lovely white skate.

 

[readernick]

It was beautiful and it was amazing.

 

[SNAKSuyun]

That program watered my plants and cured my depression

 

[EdgeCall]

Skated like a true champion!

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

What a lovely skate from Rika!

 

[brens78]

That was amazing!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Damn, Rika! Amazing!

 

[cathlen]

Wonderful skate, congrats Rika!

 

[Beckaboomer]

Rika GIRLLLLLL yes! Get that 4S!

There is room for this program to grow, it's very pretty and a different energy from her free skates the past couple of years. I like it. I think she could express more but this is the debut and it can only improve from here.

The stream guy is going nuts! I can relate.

 

[Yuzuruu]

Rika is amazing. Why did they give her such a booooring program though!??

To be honest I'm not enthralled by the program but she did land everything including a quad sal. She's the deserved winner, and now I have to go and face my responsibilities I shirked off to be on this FS marathon. Thank y'all for keeping me company

Omgomgomg

Rika!!!! You freak!!!!!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Hmm this is a pretty program, but I cannot tell a lie, I like my programs with pep! This was a bit too mellow.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Hell yeah, that 4S was beautiful and the 3A as well. Well, she is really going to challenge the russian ladies Go Rika!

 

[lzxnl]

She dropped the difficulty a bit here, but man, landing a 4S and a 3A is no joke! I look forward to seeing her landing her full tech in this program one day! That would indeed be incredible.

That quad looked easy.
