2026 Worlds Womens FS PBP - La Vie En Drone

[Jay42]

I'm so happy for Kaori! I'm so glad she can retire with this as her last program. I'm going to miss her so much.

 

[Private Citizen]

Well that was the career finale of every skater’s dreams. I won’t even complain about the flutz just this once .

 

[Asli]

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Kaori

 

[beckab81]

Sobbing. Can't believe that's the end of her career. 4x world champion!

 

[Citlali]

Kaori

What a wonderful end to a wonderful career

Broche de oro

 

[Wyliefan]

Mark's all for imprisoning her on the ice.

 

[Marta24]

Kaori

 

[Matryeshka]

I fear that if Amber didn't do it this year, she's not going to and I would hate to see her become another Gracie Gold.

What a fairy tale ending for Kaori. There's all this wet stuff coming from my eyeballs. I mean, if she wants to skate to on-the-nose music, she could go out there RIGHT NOW and ad lib skate to My Way.

This was truly a coronation and the Queen leaves the ice when the Queen is ready. What a perfect song from the DJ!!!!!

 

[Jay42]

I'm going to have to rewatch Kaori's FS again later when I'm less stressed out about her combos.

 

[miffy]

Aww Mone is really crying for Kaori.

 

[genevieve]

Chiba crying almost as hard as Sakamoto, aw

 

[Karen-W]

If you're not crying then you have no heart. That's all.

Oh, and pardon me while I step away to find some tissues.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

This is just a perfect skate.
Not much to add.
Kaori is by far the best female skater in the world, and this was her best

Arigato gozeimas.

 

[ks1227]

I am so happy for Kaori Sakamoto, and that redeems any other disappointments from today! A fitting World Champion for sure!

 

[miffy]

If you're not crying then you have no heart. That's all.

Oh, and pardon me while I step away to find some tissues.

Kaori has broken Karen!

 

[terisa]

so much my glasses fogged up....

 

[Karen-W]

Kaori has broken Karen!

I've cried about skating results before! Just not in awhile, lol.

 

[Smiley0884]

What an epic skate from Kaori!!! Mone is so sweet cheering for her in the awkward leader chair. Such a wonderful podium

 

[Matryeshka]

GIVE HER THE PERSONAL BEST COME ON JUDGES

 

[personwhoishere]

I literally said "give her 160 I don't care" and they came DAMN close!

 

[genevieve]

I will miss KnC Kaori almost as much as skating Sakamoto

 

[Elisheba]

The judges are sending her out with a season's best. Thank you judges. Thank you queen.

[miffy]

We're going to have an all happy podium again!

 

[Matryeshka]

That y'all is a girl boss.

 

[Jay42]

I'm so glad Kaori gets happy tears here and I'm happy for Nina Pinzarrone holding it down for Belgium on the podium

 

[Sally1214]

O-M-G .... that SCORE!!! The skate of Kaori's life .... I am so happy for her. As Tonia just said,"a story book ending."

 

[Desperado]

Kaori was worth watching 23 programs to get here. Leaving on a high note indeed.

 

[jenny12]

Absolutely wonderful from Kaori! I will miss her so much
