Perhaps a change in the title is needed, because I came in thinking this thread was about Rika Hongo.

Yassss! She's already got the first ever 8 clean-triple FS, might as well add a quad.

Her quad is lovely but you know, that 3A. I've seen far worse ones, with longer approach, from some men! Well done, well done indeed.

Is Rika going senior this year or staying in juniors? She just turned 15.

It's nice to see the lasting impact of Midori Ito's legacy, as the 3A has been attempted by so many Japanese women since.

She's staying junior. She's not age eligible yet. It's an eerie parallel to Mao Asada in 2006.

Her 15th birthday was July 21 so she didn't make the July 1 cutoff for seniors.

Her name is spelled wrong in the title. It's Kihira.

She's amazing. I wish her good luck next season! Junior competitions next year are going to be very interesting.

No it's not. Mao was beating veterans and taking names. This girl has not. But those jumps sure are awesome.

Shame that she is not age eligible for the Oylmpics because Im sure she would made a lot of other women nervous

Her approach in that 3A is casual and not telegraphing. Impressive!
