Rika looks like she's in good shape. That 3T looks kinda UR though.

inskate · Oct 8, 2015

^It was, but still, I'm quite impressed Rika can land 3F-3T already. I watched a short fluff about her off-season, and after her injury she seemed to really strugle even with solo triples. She seemed close to tears in practice. Nice to see her back! She's one determined lady.

I hope Elena WD because she is changing her programs.

See what The Finn posted above. She withdrew because of health problems.

Ughhh...such a pity...I was hoping for some Yulia + Elena slayage...now I guess its up to Yulia...hope she doesn't get lonely out there....and yay Rika! Always great to see her perform.

tulosai · Oct 8, 2015

I really hope Elena is okay and the health problems are nothing serious!!!

randomfan · Oct 8, 2015

No Elena. I hope she is okay and can come strong in her next event! (which currently would be CoC I think?)

Anyways I'm cheering for Yulia, So Youn and Rika!

Same!

Well, I want Hannah Miller to medal too, but it's not likely. But in any case...

May the best skater win! :cheer:

I was hoping the same thing. Hope that health issue is just something like a cold.

Julia for the win!
Rika for the silver! :cheer2:

Rika is like "the ugly duckling" of Japanese ladies skating. There are Mao, Satoko, so many great juniors and nobody gives her too much props, even after her gold in GP. She really impressed me as a fighter there and wish her all the best.

Layback11 · Oct 9, 2015

I'm hoping Yulia will win but Rika was the (for the most part) stronger of the two last season, so this will be interesting.

FSGMT · Oct 9, 2015

Everyone's obviously talking about Julia, Rika and So-Young but I do hope Hannah Miller performs well, too. She's always been one of those "Samantha Cesario type" of skaters that I feel are not rewarded enough for how they perform

Your mileage may vary, but I think she needs better packaging and that this is a part of the problem- she is never memorable compared to other skaters, not because of how she preforms, but because of how she is packaged.

MFarone · Oct 9, 2015

I'm hoping the coaching change will also include the packaging. She also really needs help with her jumps and I hope Arturian can help her.

Hannah's great performance ability is backed up by her strong skating skills, which is kinda different from Samantha.

I'm very fond of Rika, and am really looking forward to seeing her this weekend. Go, Rika.
