NEWhy Ryuichi Kihara carries Riku Miura off the ice after competitions.
Fans have nicknamed it the “Kihara Delivery.”
After winning Japan’s first Olympic pairs gold at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Games, Riku Miura was once again lifted off the podium by partner Ryuichi Kihara, a gesture that has become a fan-favorite symbol of their trust and teamwork.
Japanese media reports say Kihara began carrying Miura off podiums and uneven surfaces as a precaution to help prevent falls, as Miura sometimes trips easily once she steps off the rink. The moment has since taken on a life of its own
