He won't beat Shoma either. Which effectively limits the possibility that he wins a medal at Worlds, which has to be one of his goals. So I expect that long term he will continue to work on his quad.Rika Kihira achieved a higher TES at NHK than almost all the men competing the free skate this season with the same jump content as Jason. He’s not going to beat Nathan or Yuzuru this way, barring disaster from them, but he can potentially beat almost everybody else.
At this point, I would be (pleasantly) surprised if he ever had a consistent (i.e. >50%) quad, but I do hold out hope that he'll land at least one in competition.
