Rika Hongo has surprised everyone with her new-found steadiness. She has improved immensely from last season. I thought her Skate Canada performace was a fluke but she did it even better at Rostelecom.
Here are some things I'd like to see her improve in.
Connection to the music. She is doing all her moves but I don't know if she gets the character. Especially for Carmen.
Spins. They could be faster and have better positions.
Rotate those Jumps!
She has shown that she can improve by leaps and bounds in a single season, so I'm expecting her to improve even more now.
Go Rika!
I would also like Rika to improve her posture which is a tad hunched (reminds me of Elena Radionova). Looking forward to seeing her grow as a skater both technically and artistically.
