Official practice was held, and Rika Kihira (20), who will be participating in the National Championships for the first time in two years, complicated her content. During her practice, she landed a triple lutz that she hasn’t been jumping so far due to her injury. On the last day of trainings in Toronto, where she is based, she decided to try it for the first time, and she said, “It’s the last minute, but I want to make it in the free program.”
Kihira missed all competitions last season due to a stress fracture in her right talus. She returned this season and placed 5th at Skate Canada in October. Then she finished fourth at GP in Finland last month. In September, she jumped only two types of triple jumps, but at the event in Finlad, she already made four different triple jumps.
