Then it goes back to the other theory I had -- not a popular one but perhaps JSF might not be willing to anoint Rika as their #2 junior lady over Yuna S just yet. From the way they separated Mako and Yuna after Yokohama, had a sense that they want Yuna to be the clear Japanese #1 in both of her comps.
To some extent it's understandable as Yuna will be age-eligible to turn senior next year. With all the new seniors this year and at least 3 others (Marin, Kaori, Rin) next year, it's going to be really hard for her to get 2 senior GP spots though.
