2018-19 Japanese Ladies' figure skating

[skatenewbie]

she probably planned a 2A-3T, but for whatever reason wasn't able to put the 3T at the end of the 2A, which forced her to shift the 3T to the lutz and the 2T-2Lo to the Salchow. Otherwise, it wouldn't have made sense for her to plan a solo 2A in the bonus section.

yes i think so too, also maybe the doubled sal is because of the rippon? she doubled her sal last season in her first int competition (ACI).

I think she has no problem with rippon sal since she landed it at all her comps but ACI last season.

thats what i mean, she had consistency issue with it at the start of last season which may happened now too, but over the time im sure Mai wil get it consistent like last year.

It's not a consistency issue but more like a health issue. She has too many to effect her trainnings. I'm more worry about her PCS issue TBH. Even with good results, her PCSs have been unsurprisingly low.

It would be sad if she get again 64 PCS in GPs with clean programs.

Part of Rika Kihira’s free skate music will be to that piece that radionova used in the 2013/14 season, right?
The one by Two Steps from Hell?

Nero? That would be really cool; I checked the programs list, and it states "Mercy in Darkness and Two Steps From Hell". This is Mercy in Darkness:

Has she skated her long in some show, and if so, is there video? I've missed it if it's already been posted.

Uhhhhhh....scary! What was that? What the heck is this music even about?? Fallen angels and heaven and hell and stuff? I wonder if that’s the theme of her program.

Thanks! It looks great - looking forward to seeing it during the season. I wonder what the rest of the music is, though?

Wow!!! This is great! I can not wait to see this on a full sheet of ice. Her use of her arms throughout the whole thing is very easy on the eyes. Of course the Rippon is done so well and adds a lot but the whole use of them to create a nice projection of the music to the audience throughout this performance is very effective.

Potential to be my favorite program this season even. I loved watching her compete last year and getting to know her.

Thanks for sharing that link.

Are you asking what is her SP? I think it’s Clair De Lune

It's "Beautiful Storm" by Jennifer Thomas.

I've watched Rika's FS so many times since she first performed it at FAOI. It's so beautiful & different! if she can make her jumps consistent (and maybe make her arms movements less sharp and more fluid in my opinion) then she's gonna have a great season! so excited to see her live at IDF! go RIKA
