Came back to the figure skating world in late 2020, with lots of skaters to root for—but it’s Rika who struck the deepest in my heart. Never thought her career could turn out worse than we expected, and I’m drowning in heartache. May you rise healthiest, Rika Kihira 🫶
god Rika had such huge potential at the start of her senior career like she could have been one of the greatest ever if it hasn't been for the goddamn ankle injury from hell, and the trajectory her career has taken is truly one of the biggest "what could have been" in this sport
Update: Rika KIHIRA is scheduled to compete at the 2025 Chubu Regionals (September 19-21).
Skaters must compete in Regionals to qualify for Nationals unless they are seeded or exempt. Kihira is neither.

I think the reason for Yuzu jumping the 4Lz in the BOW & ARROW MV is because (the very Yuzuru coded lol) Hikaru in the Medalist OP is jumping a Lutz as well in the same part of the song. The boy's attention to detail 😉
