Rika Kihira (Japanese: 紀平 梨花; born July 21, 2002) is a Japanese figure skater. She is the 2019 Four Continents champion, 2018–19 Grand Prix Final champion, 2018 NHK Trophy champion, 2018 Internationaux de France champion, 2018 CS Ondrej Nepela Trophy champion, the 2017–18 Japan Junior national champion and a two-time senior national medalist. She finished within the top ten at the 2018 World Junior Championships.
Kihira is one of nine women to have landed the triple Axel jump in a senior international competition. She is the first ever woman to land a triple axel-triple jump combination in an international competition organized by the International Skating Union. To date, along with Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, she is one of only two women who have attempted the maximum number of triple jumps allowed in senior international competition: four in the short program and eight in the long program (see Zayak rule). At the 2018 NHK Trophy and at the 2019 Four Continents Championships, she cleanly landed eight triple jumps in the long program. At the 2018-19 Grand Prix Final and the 2019 World Team Trophy competitions, she cleanly landed four fully rotated triple jumps in the short program. By the end of the 2018-2019 season, however, she had not cleanly landed all her triple jumps in the short and the long program in the same competition.
