OK, block me if you don't like what I'm going to say. But this is the first ladies' event at worlds in several years that I have actually enjoyed. I don't miss robotic, unexpressive, shrimpy teenage girls with terrible choreography who rack up points from jumping and nothing else. I don't miss them AT ALL. It was so refreshing to see mature, expressive women with beautiful all-round technique.

In my heart, I wish Alyssa and Mariah were flipped (nothing against Alyssa, she was awesome) but amazing podium and amazing day for women’s skating! Hope it will be the start of a new era!

1, 12, and 15 for Japan!

(I will not think about what might have happened if Satoko or Mai could have come ... )

Really enjoyable afternoon of skating. Love this podium!

kind of a weird question asking who she wants to dedicate this medal to?

I would be like, did you not listen to my FS? I dedicate this to ME!

 

[Spikefan]

Congratulations @PRlady! What a great day.

 

[Karen-W]

This is the kind of skating that will bring back the popularity of the sport. So many interesting, beautiful, mature programs! Every single one of these ladies in the top 10 really brought something different to the table. I appreciate them all so much!

Not missing the Russian women (except maybe Tukt) at all, especially since the two ethnic Russian/Russian-trained women we have in the top 10 are also really great in their own way.

(Sorry for making this personal)

It’s 5:00 PM on my last day of work in my career. And the skater I’ve loved since she was a junior in 2016 just won Worlds with a feminist anthem.

Thank you Kaori! (Sob)

What a note to end a career on! Enjoy your free time

 

[Wyliefan]

I'm so glad for you, @PRlady!

 

[MacMadame]

Kaori talks for 2 minutes and the translator turns it into 2-3 sentences.

Brandon and Alexa were asked that as well and I thought it was weird then too.

I wouldn't put that in the unpopular opinions thread

The joy expressed in this competition was so welcome. The audience was ecstatic for real women achieving great things.

Those grim done-deal competitions of interchangeable 15yos doing what they can only due for 2 years are finished.

I am really glad my 2pm meeting was postponed until 2:30pm, because I don't think I can stop and . The podium really brought it!

 

[Rukia]

9.5 for Kaori's skating skills

 

[Jayar]

What a note to end a career on! Enjoy your free time

Has she announced retirement?

 

[quartz]

You okay, @quartz ?

Yes, the husband brought home pizza right smack dab in the middle of Kaori’s skate and couldn’t figure out why I was sobbing.

 

[ChelleC]

Lol and she very politely gave a long list of names that got translated to "my coach and all my coaching team"

 

[VGThuy]

Congrats to Kaori for joining Elizaveta Tuk and Kaetlyn Osmond as being the third legit world champion since 2015!

 

[skatingguy]

Has she announced retirement?

@PRlady is retired yes.

 

[Jay42]

Has she announced retirement?

No Kaori's planning to go until Milan but PRLady is retired after today.

 

[genevieve]

I know I need to go back and watch everyone else but I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a women's comp this much.

 

[MacMadame]

Has she announced retirement?

Yes, @PRlady is retiring.

 

[Yazmeen]

I'm so glad for you, @PRlady!

They always ask this now! Scherbakova answering "to myself" was a highlight.
