RIKAAAAAA She was SO GOOD!!! Looking at her protocol, she should've had a higher score even with her lower bv.

 

[YesWay]

Great skate by Rika! 69.89 smashes her previous personal best SP score! (65.79)

Rika was great live! She performed very well and was very engaging

I felt both surprised and not surprised by what Rika had done. She picked so early in the season, I was really hoping she'd do a nice performance.And she SLAYED! The face she made at the end of her performance was like "HELL YEAH!" lol, I enjoyed it.
Looking foward to her LP. I hope she'll be clean and have everyone clapping for her.

Good luck Rika! Excited to see Riverdance live tomorrow.

 

[solar]

So excited to see riverdance today! Hopefully the audience can get behind it and support Rika a lot

 

[LRK]

Yes, Rika! Go out there and skate your best and give us a marvellous program to enjoy!

(Rika really has two very good programs this year - the SP I enjoy a lot, and the LP I love even more.)

Rika was clean in her warm up run through and the audience was clapping along! I was smiling during the entire step sequence

Lovely to hear! Now replicate that in competition, Rika!
