Japan’s Rika Kihira defended her title in the Four Continents figure skating competition after coming on top of the women’s free programme Saturday. The seventeen-year-old champion, who also claimed her first national title in December, earned the overall score of 232.34 in Seoul, clinching the gold medal. Kihira missed her opening triple axel jump in her free skate, making her victory not a sure thing, but overcame the setback in solid play by landing a triple axel-double toe loop combination.
