I loved Rika's presentation! She has very good ice coverage and execution. When she gets better spins and stable jumps, she can be my favorite junior this season.
That looked so painful. But good for her for being able to skate the rest of the program that well.
Also, that has got to be the worst Rhapsody in Blue music cut, ever.
Coincidentally, I played that piece on the piano a few hours ago. ;-)
oooh close. Well done girls. It's national bias but I'd put Rika in front because of the quality of her jumps, the solid technique and she had good presentation too.
Wessenberg: strong presentation and SS, but she needs to GET IT TOGETHER!
Aoki: a beautiful disaster, as usual.
Lozko: insane spins, nice dress and footwork, URs on everythig, why, I thought Russians didn't underrotate, please teach your skaters proper jump technique
Gubanova: beautiful, best presentation by far, but her 3-3s freak me out
Kihara: ouch, nice try though, program and interpretation seem generic, but nice jumps, better luck next time.
