She's one of the few skaters that, without the Olympic stars present, could make figure skating popular again. One of the very few that have the IT factor. Even without difficult jumps, her programs are mesmerising. I hope she heals and gets her deserved Worlds gold one day!

[@loredanaagafitei623]

It was the first program that mesmerised me. She will do better next time. We love a smiling and supportive coach

[@ambra364]

Rika’s beautiful skating and this soundtrack… I’m getting tears in my eyes even now rewatching it. Rika-chan please take care of yourself, we love you and we will always be here waiting for you!

[@heiako5934]

She is incredible ! She shines, everytime I see her skating and even can see a difference between few years ago and now. I hope I can see her skating one day irl. It must be amazing🌹

[@Люба-ч7г2д]

Это лучшее исполнение этой темы! Она очень прочувствовала историю. Бывают прокаты без призовых мест, но сердцу запоминаются надолго. Рика особенная спортсменка! Удачи 👍

[@alyakh.6310]

Рика с возвращением! Программа красивая, будем надеяться что скоро восстановится и всё будет только лучше. Удачи тебе, достойная соперница!!❤️

[@sandrachooqiaorou5201]

What a strong comeback for Rika-san, I'm happy for her and wish her a speedy recovery. Will always support herrr

[@luanamurase938]

she's my favorite skater, i'm so happy that she's back and taking care of herself ♥️

[@loredanaagafitei623]

Yas. She was the first amoung all skaters to really induce emotions in people's hearts. I am happy she had a clean skate, hope this build up her confidence. Personally, don't care she did not have 3A or triple triple.

[@AllOccupied]

从全日到今天状态恢复这么多，这套节目不管是场上发挥还是梨花自己的经历都让人热泪盈眶

[@SalocinDotTEN]

She even did a jump before the get ready. Perfect programme. All green and no falling.

[@kasvinimuniandy4178]

What an amazing skater! So glad to see her healing from the injuries and taking it slow... even without her signature lutz and flip jumps, she is a delight to watch! We can see the fruits of her hard work to develop all aspects of her skating, the performance quality is different indeed! Skates like a champion!

[@SMBLFigureSkating]

She skated with her heart. Beautiful ❤

[@MonastryDeparture]

Wonderful to see Rika back..and how! Strong, beautiful and happy. Congrats!!

[@Jeremy-wp4yh]

Loved Rika. Wishing her well with her recovery ❤️

[@Blitz-cs3kc]

I love her! Her skating is so powerful yet so elegant and beautiful.

[@magna1550]

This is the skater who made so many wonderful emotions come out in me a pure pleasure to watch her

[@bbl1188]

Rika is so strong. She’s the best of her generation considering she’s the most complete skater I’ve ever seen. I feel so bad for what happened to her. Forced to jump quads/triple axels and compete while injured therefore ended up with her having to miss her first Olympics in which she would’ve easily been a top contender for a medal there, and having her lose most of her jumps🙁 All due too her abusive coach. Which is why I’m so proud of her for switching to Brian and having the strength to still compete this season. You can tell that her performance skills have gotten so much better😭 I think her situation is an example on why you should never force skaters to compete or do hardcore jumps while already injured (@eteritutberidze & @miehamada)

[@loredanaagafitei623]

That! Well sayed. I am touched by Rika's joy.

[@KanatLS]

Brian is the worst choice for Rika, she just must run away from him

[@bbl1188]

@@KanatLS oh, so you want her to go back to her abusive coach Mie Hamada who forced her to compete and jump ultra c’s while injured?💀Brian coached the GOAT of womens figure skating and the GOAT of mens figure skating, I think he is def the best choice for Rika.

[@bbl1188]

@@KanatLS + Rika literally said in an interview how much they care about health over there and how caring they are towards everyone, I think it’s safe to say that she’s perfectly fine with Brian.

[@yohanes2034]

She is one of the victim of the chase over "ultra c" elements above all else besides Aliona Kostornaia. Both of them are the most complete skaters in my opinion and the best of their generations but yet they had to miss Olympic because of mismanagement of injuries by their abusive coaches. I also blame ISU for this, just if goe and pcs scored correctly then bad jumping technique, bad skating skills, and performance should be reflected in the scores. I've watched this performance again and it shows how well rounded she is as a skater even if she hasn't skated up to her standard. Also how happy I was when I knew she won the pcs of the night. Fingers crossed she manages to heal properly and gets back to her form under Brian guidance

[@УлбалаКурганбекова-н7л]

Удачи Рике и скорейшего выздоровления от травмы, если так можно сказать!

[@KirariandMikan]

I just can’t stop watching this performance of Rika🥺🥺it’s like she has always been a technically talented skater but here you could really feel the fight in her and her passion for skating, she really just skated her heart out

[@bubundun8508]

I'm so happy to see Rika with Orser. It's a beautiful program and Rika's skating is stunning 😍👏👏👏

[@ВаляТанцюра-к3д]

[@Светлана-б7п7и]

Молодец,умница.очень чистое катание❤

[@Irina10.02.]

Соскучилась по Рике,в прошлый сезон ее не было,лечилась. Как они рады,что нет российских девочек,с такими баллами занимают первые места,даже двухсот нет.

[@ЛинаДонецкая]

И очень печальное.В общем,далёкое от уровня катания российских фигуристок.Чистенько- гладенькое с половиной двушечек.Японки поняли,что настал их " звездный час".Рисковать нет смысла,россиянок все равно не будет.А так чисто исполнил 3- 2 или 2-3 и победил.

[@user-muzertru]

глаза разуйте! Она прыгает двойные прыжки. Она проиграла даже никчемной Стар Эндрюс

[@tuileries6]

So touched to see Brian sending her off 😭 She's with a great, loving team

[@Lenadangcogang]

Everytime i watch Rika's program, i can see her passion and love for this sport. Rika really skated from her heart. I hope the season 2023-2024, she will have a stronger comeback.

[@kunk9324]

Beautiful. Rika, you are still Rika. No one can compare with you.

[@tongeli]

She is a GEM

[@kuilaychua6265]

Really happy for Rika.She is more confident now and a better performer. Brian is definitely a better coach for her. The covid pandemic delayed her TCC training and hence worsening her injuries which should be treated first instead of continuing competing.

[@Maria-mu4rg]

I think since last season

[@Irina10.02.]

После ЧМ, где весь пьедестал был российским.

[@irinairina2332]

Где её тройной аксель. А плечики, как у Камилы теперь в моде у японок.

[@victoriadesamotracia]

She was injured and she is still recovering so she is not using (yet) the lutz , flip and 3Axel and 4salchow , she will eventually

[@ОльгаБоголепова-щ2л]

Действительно не плохо. Но в России она не сможет составить серьёзную конкуренцию. Лучшие Российские фигуристки уже не делают каскад 3/2, а только 3/3 или уже 4/3 и тройными прыжками уже никого не удивишь. Надо прыгать 4 оборота если хочешь занимать первые три места. 😉

[@user-muzertru]

Do you want to end your career in disgrace? Ask Orser how

[@HN-hk7bv]

Помню несколько лет назад одна из российских фигуристок катала программу под Титаник , да у неё тоже не было четверных, но программа сильнее выглядела , чем тут .

[@СветланаЕвсенкова-с9ы]

До русских девушек ей далеко и прыжки не высокие, четверных нет?

[@Ирина-п6я2н]

@@victoriadesamotracia Но выигрывать будет Сакамото без ультра-си и с каскадами 3-2. Это регресс в фигурном катании.....

[@victoriadesamotracia]

@@Ирина-п6я2н yeah probably , but Russian skaters (at least the selected on the national team)had serious mistakes that the judges pass a lot and pretend not to see edges , urs and lack of rotation and bad technique , plus the dopping , I really like Trusova and Samodelkina btw and I’m looking forward for their performances in the future but as a fan of Rika I understand how she struggled with the injury and how the judges put her down even with her ultra c elements in the past years and this is a small victory , but look Rinka Watanabe won today with a 3Axel and she deserved so much points but the judges wanted to help the Canadians so they were very harsh with Rinka.

Considering that she had terrible injuries from quads she performed in 2019-2020 she did great. Wouldn't be OK to make her jump 3A and quads right away. She needs to attain confidence in her program and for that is good to simplify. Try having some empathy
