Congratulations Rika! I am thrilled that she nailed both 3A's in the program. She's one of the ladies I am rooting for this season and I love her FS, it's so much more polished now than when she first debuted it during the summer. Hope she continues to do well.
A shame about the 3S at the end, but she managed to recover into her ending pose. Also, is it just me or is she getting more distance on her 3A now?
such a beautiful FS for Rika and awesome performance! She has my favourite program of the ladies so far this year
congrats on beautiful 3As too!!
Here is a short video we were able to get from Rika, but we didn't have a translator at the time so it's only in Japanese.

Anyone who speaks japanese who can translate it?
her easiest layout change that would boost diff would be swapping the 3Lz-2T to a 3T
She cant do that. She can only repeat 2 tripples and now she chooses 3A and 3Lz which is the two most valuable. If she where to ad a 2nd 3T she will have to replace the 2nd 3Lz with a 2A
That layout has a Bv of 52.69 so only an increase with 0.04 which is basically nothing.
The addition of a +Eu+3S or +3Lo combination allows her to do two 3-3 combinations and still repeat 3A and 3Lz
