Victory hand from Mishin!

Huge score! I'm so happy for Liza!

Big moment for Rika! Can she pull off the two 3As?!

Although that duct tape on her skates is a no.

Papa Mishin has declared the winner!!!

Oh, I hope he is right!

possible reason for taped up boots? worn out?

Ok, so Liza just won Free SKate, with Rika not even trying the 3A-3T...

 

[Fluture]

Oh Rika.

I would die of happiness if it happens...oh the look on the faces of the judges in the Judges Council who voted against her for Worlds...

Oh dear, come on Rika! Hold on!

But why not white tape? The grey is distracting me so much...

I‘m sad... This will still be my favorite program of the season but I so wished for her to send it off with a WR and a clean skate... GIRL YOU LANDED THE 3A IN THE SP WHY NOT HERE... skating in front of their home crowd really got to both Japanese girls...

Poor Rika. Her skates are all tapped up and probably has no support left in them! I was hopping for a WR, but I'm glad she kept performing the entire program. She is mesmerizing.

 

[brens78]

Nailed her SP then fell flat on FS, oh can't she nail both programs! There's next season but overall Rika had a very good senior debut season.

Whatever the reason may be for gray tape on skates, white tape should have gone over it. This is very distracting.

 

[P44]

But why do her boots need tape ?

 

[auser]

great performance! i still don't like the program but as far as i'm concerned liza can skate even on baby shark

love the imagery

Rika seems happy despite the falls

Impressed with the women; they are made of steel

what I was thinking, skates take time to wear in so not like she can just get another pair and good to go right away!

3A can wear boots out faster. She probably wanted to get one more competition out of them.

Liza was amazing... I am just happy for her that she had 2 clean skates with 2 triple Axels.
