Worlds 2025 Women’s Free: “Make Amber Great A-Glenn”

[Vagabond]

I'm not sure that Glenn is going to rise in the overall standings.

She should be singing "I Get By with a Little Help from My Friends" right now.

 

[Jarrett]

Oh no she is keeping it for another year? Yikes.

 

[Lara]

Given she’s not been near a situation like this since the Olympics I’ll take it.

Oh no, she thought she’d done it for a moment. So close.

 

[danafan]

Missed by one spot

 

[skategal]

Looks like 11th overall for Maddie. OMG so close.

 

[overedge]

If she keeps the program, I hope they take out the butterfly arm waving. That's juvenile-level obvious choreography.

 

[Karen-W]

I really do love how appreciative this audience is of Kaori.

 

[Colonel Green]

Her reaction was funny.

Closer to top ten than I would have thought, but I guess she's still one skater meltdown away from it still.

QUEEN KAORI

 

[Jay42]

Kaori through her self into that lutz so enthusiastically I thought she was going to hit the boards

 

[Hanna]

Jesus that 2a-euler-3sal The distance, RIDICULOUS

How I love to see someone do a GOOD EULER!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jarrett]

Missed by one spot

Ice is slippery who knows what is about to happen.

 

[victorskid]

My power came back in time to put Maddie onto the 50" screen but my cheering from home didn't help her enough

 

[overedge]

Queen Kaori bringing the SASS

 

[LilJen]

"Kay-ur-ee" is so much better than this dopey program. Too much armography.

She gets so much air with her jumps I wonder she doesn't try a 3a or a quad?

 

[Wyliefan]

Kaori's got this crowd!

 

[rfisher]

Sakamoto really powers through some of her jumps. She's tilted in the air, but she's so fast and strong she can land them anyway. It's Plushenko cat feet.

 

[slicekw]

So many great Fosse flourishes in this program.

 

[4rkidz]

Her reaction was funny.

Closer to top ten than I would have thought, but I guess she's still one skater meltdown away from it still.

Not likely with the skaters left

[Vagabond]

Where has Kaori Sakamoto been hiding this season?

 

[tangerine dream]

Kaori's got this crowd!

This crowd has been dying to give someone a huge standing ovation for at least an hour.

 

[Braulio]

Though Kaori is having a good program but I just can't get into this performance, doesn't feel like hers

 

[Karen-W]

Well, no one should ever bet against Kaori delivering when the pressure is on.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Yay Queen Kaori!

 

[floridaice]

Master Class by Kaori

 

[JoannaLouise]

OMG Chris almost jinxed her at the end, saying she had a "full house" on her second-last jump!

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

This won't be my favorite Kaori program but she is so much more into this. I would not have expected this given Skate America's performance. Thrilled for her. She is such a fighter.

I'm so glad Kaori finally performed this well even if it took until Worlds to do it! I love her so much.
