I'm looking forward to Rika's glorious FS tomorrow. Good luck, Rika!!

Me, too! I'm always excited to see my favorite FS of the season. And I very much appreciate that, thanks to said program, I finally have a favorite who doesn't scare me. So thank you, Rika Hongo, for not being a headcase.

I love Rika's FS! Hoping for high energy and no underrotations

 

[yhmafan]

Go for it Rika!

 

[puremagic]

I hope she will skate clean. She still has chance to get the podium.

I hope Rika can channel her COC2015 FS performance today! I love her Riverdance program Praying for no UR's!

I actually think Rika did pretty well today- her program is still my favorite one of the season

That was clearly not her best, BUT she fought and got on the podium. Hopefully she'll show what she can really do at Boston, she has what it takes. Congrats on bronze, Rika!

Sad that she didn't skate her program as well as she could have, but she still landed on the podium! Congrats on your bronze, Rika! :clapper:

Congrats on your second bronze at 4CC Rika (let's hope next year it's a silver...or a gold )

Just went and watched Rika's super-awesome FS from CoC to make myself feel better. She'll come back strong for Worlds. :yes: I still love you, Rika! :hap93:

Hongo fell on her opening triple flip-triple toe combination, but she rallied to land five triples in her Riverdance routine. Although she only ranked fifth in the free skate, with 117.51 points, she still managed to pull up from fourth to third.

"Last year I participated in Four Continents for the first time, and I finished third. This time I'm glad I made it back onto the podium again, but I'm not completely satisfied with my performance," Hongo said. "I think I have many things to improve and I can do much better."
