Yes. If. Does she know that it is URed tho? Because at this point I'm not sure anymore. But I hope Ghislain will.

I believe she does.

 

I guess We will see and know in comps if she puts it out there

The problem with Kihira risking even suspected URed jumps in comps is,,, that she is not among ISU chosen ones. If she isn't competing against a chosen one (or several of them), then those jumps might not be called. If she is, well. And it only takes 1-2 UR calls, justified or not, to be stamped a chronic UR-ing skater and lo and behold phantom calls from then on. 

If she and her team decide it's worth the risk tho, well

That is so true. Not getting called once or twice at non-major events or a GP does not mean you'll magically get away with the URs. And it seems that particular filmed attempt would be too easy to call.

Rika's turned into a real globetrotter. Kind of concerning in this time of pandemic, but I guess she's very determined to keep her training up.

Yuna Shiraiwa pondering on how far she has come after injury

"One year has passed since the day I got injured (August 23rd, 2019) 
I will continue working hard without forgetting that I am here because of so many people supporting me.
Sadly, the new coronavirus makes it difficult for me to come back to competition in front of you, but since there won't be many competitions, I am going to cherish and enjoy each one of them.
Please be careful about the coronavirus!"

Rika's short program. Benoa herself praised her talent. "There is no skater who has achieved what I want to do so far!" I hope you will continue to do your best in Europe and Japan.
