Olympics channel posted Kaori's programs. Her long program will be remembered most, it's so powerful, statement for strength and beauty for women, but today I have to watch her short program. Her speed, it's so fast! Some skaters have speed, but it's inertia. Effortless or lumbering momentum...

Hi, so I'm really curious about something I notice about choreography. My two favorite skaters. Yuna Kim, her last free skate Sochi 2014: She does arm wave 2:51 or 2:52, it seems after the music que. Kaori Sakamoto, this Olympics: Again, she pull herself forward after the music que 4:16...

I watched statistical analysis on japanese forum some time ago. I didn't see the video. I did watch the videos of Hubert and Surya Bonaly against Midori. They are still online. Nobody questions that Surya Bonaly did her back flips into Midori to intimidate her at Olympics. The video still...

How about I show you statistical analysis of every skaters compulsory figures scores instead. All of their competitions, with Midori Ito 1990 Worlds low outlier. Would you prefer that?

Midori Ito was one of the greatest but she only won single world championship, and silver medal because the Americans have the power to put Jill Trenary ahead of her with secret corrupt figures judging, and then the French physically attacking her at Worlds and Olympics next two years. Midori...

Hi Orbitz, I'll answer your post and not the other, since he admits in his own post that "doing these types of intimidations" is not uncommon. Midori was cheated on compulsory figures judging, everyone who knows anything knows this. The Americans have all the ISU judging power back then, want...

I don't know if popular or not but Laëtitia Hubert and Surya Bonaly deserved Albertville 1992. Hubert infamously intentionally crash into Midori Ito at worlds the year before, Bonaly intentionally doing back flips very close to Midori Ito to intimidate her during Olympics practice. Good that...

I couldn't agree more! Kaori and Waka were amazing at Olympics, we can always keep our fingers crossed that medals will be different one day, but I too hope Mana will have another chance at Olympics. That's the only thing missing. She looked physically ill after her skate, and totally dejected...

There's no reason to punish the skater. I'm glad Loena was added later. Good luck to her this month! I'm doubtful the Chinese situation is the same. The government is very strict about zero covid. The athletes are not allowed competitions unless strictly necessary for Beijing 2022 (as far as I...

This is not true. Given what we know about Eteri skaters, this may be the most legitimate women's podium in a long time.

Really? Where did you hear this? Or speculation?

I liked the CBC livestream replay with Belinda Noonan the best.

The Olympic Channel has commentary free. Lucky for us, because Peacock will have Tara talking non-stop over everything. :slinkaway

Nice to see Loena will be at Worlds!

Sometimes appendicitis will improve on its own, or be treated with antibiotic. I didn't know this until recently either. I thought it would always mean surgery.
