Giant e on the 3lutz.

 

[Badams]

Kaori looks beautiful. Her dress is gorgeous.

 

[Steph]

the pure command in that double axel exit...

 

[tony]

I love Kaori so much, so many of her programs are such highlights that I often return to, but neither of her programs this year do anything for me. I think she's capable of a lot more.

The Lutz deserves an 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' but it will come away with +3 and +4

 

[Rukia]

Giant e on the 3lutz.

e for excellent try give me a medal

 

[Jay42]

I still wish she was skating to actual Nina Simone but Lauryn Hill is definitely better than what we could have had.

 

[thvu]

Only Level 3 on the steps. That's a loss of a little over 1 point with base value and GOE. We'll see if the fall sticks and it ends up mattering.

 

[Wyliefan]

Tonia just hit Scott Hamilton levels of screaming.

 

[canbelto]

I love this program. It's so fun!

 

[airgelaal]

She's nervous but she does her job

 

[Kaz7714]

I liked women's warrior Kaori...not sure I like this program but she undoubtedly has something.
Gooooo Kaori

 

[quartz]

Look at her go!!!

 

[Rukia]

QUEEN OF MY HEART

 

[Prancer]

You want to be world champion? You will have to pry it from Kaori's cold, dead hands.

 

[Wyliefan]

That was fantastic.

 

[Karen-W]

Kaori isn't gonna let this third title get away from her without a fight. I really hope the last three women can bring it!

 

[quartz]

YAAAAAAASSSSSSS!!

 

[Vagabond]

What a star!

 

[tony]

The flip+toe and axel+toe+toe were two of the biggest combinations she's ever done, especially that first one. Massive.

Stumbly twice on the choreography but again.. the program itself does NOTHING for me.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Honestly, the world where we all agree that Kaori Sakamoto is the best skater in the world when she's on is the world I want to live in. I have no interest in ever revisiting the skating world pre-2022 worlds

[caseyedwards]

That was her best performance at a worlds!!!!!!!!

 

[LilJen]

Kaori's 2a is so

Love how she just rode the edge out. . . and held it, and held it. . . and then did a 3turn or bracket like 'hey, no big deal and I am COMPLETELY in control.'

YES, GIRL!!! That was awesome.

 

[Kaz7714]

 

[danafan]

Tonia and Mark are both squealing now

 

[slicekw]

Sakamoto is not going to give her gold chance away to anyone. THEY WILL HAVE TO SLAY HER.

That was gorgeous.

 

[Jay42]

I mean honestly, this was better than her winning skate last year.

 

[overedge]

OMG OMG OMG

 

[MacMadame]

All green blobs! She wants that title.

 

[TAHbKA]

YES!!!! KAORI!!!!!!
