That first one has me dying to know what the programme is! How does a handstand/cartwheel fit into it? What does she have planned?

Yes, that one handed cartwheel lools interesting. The Junior Georgian dance team did something similar in their program last year. The most important thing is that Rika enjoys her program and can perform it with conviction.

Thanks for the link. Apparently, the music in the clip isn't the music that she will be using in her program. The choreography looks strong and feminine. I think that will suit her. She really has incredible mind body awareness and is capable dancing on the ice.

Article about Rika. I am still excited about her SP, but I really have a hard time dealing with Benoit's ego. He seems to believe he was able to transform her skating in 5 Days? Sure. Ok, bud. Also, apparently, she skated with lightness before, but know she is more sharp. Would you define A Beautiful Storm or Breakfast in Baghdad as light? I certainly wouldn't.

Great article. She has a mature perspective. In other news, she posted this today:
She seems to be thriving. Go Rika! Be Safe! Be Happy!

That's awesome! Can't wait to see that in competition - who knows, she might be the first senior lady to land a 3A and a quad in her free!

It looks so good!!! I was so disappointed that we didn’t get to see her attempt it aside from GPF last year (especially since the one she posted from a pre-World’s practice looked amazing) but I’m so glad she has it back. IDF will be a fantastic time to try it and I hope she does manage to be the first senior lady to land both a quad and a triple axel!

Rika’s music! The Fire Within is potentially by Jennifer Thomas which is super exciting and her free is a beautiful piano piece. I think both will be great fits for her and I can’t wait to see them!

Information on "studying under Plushenko" to Rika Kihira who gave up going to Canada
via google translate
According to European media such as Russia, the name of the Russian emperor has emerged as a new coach to replace Mr. Orser. Evgeni Plushenko (37), who stood at the top of nine times in total at the Olympics, World Championships and GP Finals. Currently, he runs skating classes in Russia, mainly in Moscow, and is working hard to train the next generation of top skaters, mainly juniors.
Kihei is currently communicating with Mr. Plushenko of Moscow through online such as SNS and receiving specific acting advice.
Kihei has been whispering a feud with coach Mie Hamada, who has been instructed for a long time, due to a disagreement over the practice method. It is said that the reason why the coach was changed from Canadian to Russian this time is because he prioritized overcoming the challenges, although it was influenced by the corona wreck.
Kihei is improving his jumping and skating skills by succeeding in the quadruple salchow, which is said to be difficult for girls to practice in the off-season. On the other hand, there remains a problem with expressiveness, which is said to be inferior to overseas players. The aim is to improve his level by studying under Plushenko, who used his expressive power to express emotions as a weapon when he was active.
Can the Russian coach's guidance destroy the Russian stronghold

I think Rika looks happy in Switzerland. She just listed Stephane Lambiel as her coach. (albeit possibly on temporary basis). Working with Stepane or Orser makes sense because Rika has previously gone to Summer camps in Switzerland, and worked with Ghislain (from Orser's camp). However, moving to a completely new coach and to a new environment where you don't know the language is a highly risky thing to do 16 months before the Olympics. If it is just additional, remote coaching then it is not a bad idea.

Rika released a short clip of her SP.
The music is a perfect match, and she even manages to make all the strange Benoit movements look beautiful. I love it
