Rika Kihira

I feel bad for Rika. I really thought she is getting better, I was relieved when she withdrew from Coupe de Printemps and didn't do any ice shows in the summer. And she had some appearances on TV where they covered her road to recovery, so I thought recovery was going well. But it seems that the old injury is very difficult to heal unless she completely stopped doing everything.

Rika and her new bangs gave a video message on the Toyota News channel yesterday, around 57th minute:

^^^Yes! All reports seemed to have a very positive vibe, and it seemed like she was taking her time and not rushing things. I'm sure she and her fans are hugely disappointed.

Last 2 seasons were the perfect for her to rest and let her injury heal completely but she insisted to compete or do ice shows when she couldn't afford that, I'm so sorry for her but it's not to late, rest this season Rika!

I'm also confused about the general news. Thought she was on the way up and the GP nomination a good sign
