Unfortunately, Rika Kihira crashed and burned into sixth place.
She will never be Japan's next great female skating hope. While she has won some, when the stake's are highest she always trips, falls, flops, and basically chokes. She's already 17 years of age and still has not overcome her mental barriers. Compare that to most of the Russian figure skaters who are mentally as tough as they come.
