It would be too much to expect Rika to have Satoko's level of refinement at this stage of her career but still, I think the program has huge potential. I like that it is so daring and flashy. Following the evolution of the program throughout the season will be both exciting and scary at the same time because of the risks that are involved.
If everything goes alright with this program, she can be a serious medal contender in this upcoming season.
well Satoko was already very polished when she was 16. I don't think younger skaters are worse or have a less mature presentation than older skates per se. Some very young skates have excellent maturity. Satoko is one of the examples, Marin is another one, Shoma too. Yuna Kim at 16 did my favourite tango out of all ladies skates showing very mature skating. So comparing Rika to them, I think she could still improve a little bit in her maturity. I really hope she does because I love her jumps and her coach has always taken great care to enable her skaters to develop their artistic skills.
