Well done Rika! Looks like won’t be enough to hold the lead over Hana (?) but she did all she could ar this point, pretty much, and she knows it.

Well, that won't get her on the podium.

Rikaaaa

A step out on the loop, but otherwise clean! And she put in a 3+3 combo in the FS now!!!
I'm glad she's not rushing to put in the lutz just yet, please please stay healthy now Rika

 

[elektra blue]

come back stronger next season, Rika

[YuBluByMe]

Yes! Just the mistake on the second 3Lo. She didn’t put the 3Lz in, but opened with a 3-3 for the first time this season. Thatta girl! Now rest up!

Did you make it ok to your destination in the blizzard, 4everchan?

yes.. we beat the blizzard... and now, we are lucky... there are almost half a million of users without power.. but not here !

 

[EdgeCall]

Rika is slowly working herself up back to the 200.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

This is also probably not going to top Hana, but will it be enough to top Rika even?

YUNA!!!

After so many years of injury upon injury after injury, Yuna is finally looking healthy and ready to fufill the expectations put on her as a Junior

Also...good coaching switch!

 

[lileychristie]

Oooh nice 3Lz+3Lo combo from Yuna!!
I'm a bit surprised that +3Lo combos are not more common in Japan - many of these skaters have really good flow out of their jumps.

Maybe not going to top Rika from PCS wise?
Edit: I'm wrong!!! Wow congrats Yuna!!

 

[elektra blue]

solid performance

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Huh, guess the edge review was favorable.

[zanadude]

I'll always find it strange that Junior Worlds spots are decided at a Seniors competition.

 

[Laid-Back Enthusiast]

I wanna watch too
