Am I in the minority that loves the SP music? It feels that way. It's distinctive, unusual and I think Rika will absolutely do it justice with time and practice. I've been listening to it on repeat :)

I love it too! When I listened to the music I was skeptical but now seeing the program I think it suited her like a glove.
It’s interesting and different from what she’s done in the past, as it should be.

So jump layout should be
4S, 3A2T, 3Lz, 3A / 3Lz3T, 3F1Eu3S, 3Lo

That‘s CRAZY!

I cannot wait to see this program. Obviously not only because of the jumps but mainly as from what she‘s shown us so far her choreography and interpretation seem outstanding and beautiful. Not sold on the SP yet tbh but excited for this one. I still get goosebumps every time I rewatch her FS from NHK. I think she‘ll give us some more moments like that next season.

Oh so she changed her layout then. Her first plan was to put the 2nd 3A into the 2nd half. Still a crazy layout though. Go Rika!

I think this layout is even better, because the older one had 3A instead of one of the combinations in the second half, so now the base value is higher.

Some photos of Rika from her new Red Bull video: https://twitter.com/rikak_fans/status/1149254077106262016?s=21

A bit of translation: https://twitter.com/axelsandwich/status/1150004437768818688?s=21

'When I make a mistake, I try to think as positively as I can, like 'this was a necessary experience for the present me'. I'm glad to have had good experience earlier, I'm glad to have failed earlier.

I'm the type where the more I think 'I dont like this', the more I get stronger so I can change my mood/feelings quickly. I think you must never forget the kuyashii feelings but if it's to the point you lose your confidence, your movements would be stiff in the next competition.'

Hey everyone for Rika's birthday today I decided to uploaded a new video of Rika's FS with German commentary and English subs here (Youtube blocks it, so it's on Dailymotion):

You can hear how much Sigi Heinrich enjoys Rika:
"She's is amazing! She is incredible!"

Please enjoy! 😊

Thank you for this upload! :)
Sigi Heinrich, Hendryk Schamberger and Petra Bindl (not in the video) are always a joy to listen to each figure skating competition :) my favorite Eurosport commentators.
