We are all aware of Rika’s SP struggles this season. What she has proven time and time again is that it doesn’t matter how far behind she is when she nails that free.
Really nasty to see people actively rooting against skaters (Rika, Alina, whoever). I don’t get it.
You meant me as actively rooting against Rika, really?
I am a bit tired of Rika's glorification here, yes it's true. At the same time, last year when she could not show anything against Russian juniors I said that she was capable of being the top Japanese lady as the full package with 3A.
She has not skated 2 clean programs with the planned content yet. And what happened in Hague just shows that all those "long analyses" that one can find in this thread with just one idea: to make everyone believe that Rika's winning the gold is almost certain may be a bit premature.
