Kihira Rika was, appropriately, on fire

 

[Colonel Green]

YESSSS!!!!!!

 

[flanker]

Good girl Rika!

 

[Hyena]

YES Rika!

What a cool, fun step sequence. Gorgeous 3A too. That should go into the lead by a healthy, not necessarily huge, margin.

 

[Supernovaimplosion]

The cartwheel was perfect

 

[Shayuki]

Yeah, watched it slow-mo and Kihira's 3A was clearly under, almost a downgrade.

I'm just so impressed with Yelim this season. There's maybe one semi-decent rink in Korea(taereung) and figure skating isn't even prioritized on that rink (hi, short track). I mean, they were training in mall rinks...

Also, Rika
Buttery smooth, fierce. Love.

[Princessroja]

WOW. Now that's the way to end an event. Holy cats.
