Figure) Kihira's first game "Feeling Confidence" October 25, 15:51

Rika Kihira, a figure skating player, said on the 24th that he wanted to make a high-scoring and confident tournament in front of the Canadian tournament, which is his first season of the Grand Prix series. .

Kihei, who won last year's Grand Prix Final, won the “Autumn Classic” held in Canada last month, and the Grand Prix series, which is attended by the world's top players, will be the first in the second round of the Canadian Games.

On April 24, Kihei attended an official practice at the venue in Kelowna, Western Canada, where the tournament was held.
Kihei has spent time practicing jumping from the beginning, and the triple axel, which is a characteristic, had a mistake in the first few, but subsequently landed one after another.
On the other hand, we did not perform the four-turn jump that we have been working on since the season.

After training, Kihira said with a smile, “I thought it was the first ice rink I practiced, but I thought it was a good jump because I was able to match the ice well.”
Also, in this tournament, after showing the idea not to incorporate the four-turn jump into the performance, “I want to think about how I can make the ideal form for both the short program and free performance without being aware of the order of the game. I want to make this a high-scoring tournament so that there will be no significant pressure at the NHK Cup in Japan, ”he said.

The Canadian tournament will also be attended by Russian Alexandra Tulsois, who landed four four-turn jumps at a tournament in Japan this month.
In the practice of the day, Tulsois also decided to make four-turn jumps one after another, and asked how good he was.
The tournament will be held from the 25th.
