Well I am glad you came to join us today!Well deserved 1st place for Sakamoto after the SP with some margin! Actually I haven't watched ... competitive skating live since ... 4 CCs, I had to miss Worlds sadly, only rewatched some skates after (sadly I was already spoilered about the results dayady
We are sentimental fools and suckers for babies I guess.how can you all like Kaori's terrible program?
you are all such better people than I am
I agree with you. Nothing stood out for me. Also the triple lutz wasn’t a triple lutz and the triple flip Wasn’t nice landed. I think the 75 mark was a little high.how can you all like Kaori's terrible program?

I admit I am not keen on her going soft and sweet, I don't think it suits her personality or style. She's a champion, and fun and endearing and everything good, but doesn't have that emotional range (jmo)how can you all like Kaori's terrible program?

Yup. But she's Kaori.The flip looked under didn't it?
These skaters today definitely don't play it safe and they are a little crazy!To be honest, skating is all about the risk. You have to be a bit crazy to compete at this level I couldn't do it, and I wouldn't backload combos either, but if skaters feel up to it?
Oh no Chris!!!! Heal well!...I was never on the Kaori train, but starting last year, I just became more and more enamored of her skating!Even after getting half of a finger nail cut off in a chipper yesterday, she makes me smile.....Love all of team Japan and Korea but oh that Kaori.
I REALLY like this program for Kaori. While I know Kaori's speed is considered intoxicating by many, for too long IMHO it seemed like she was a runaway freight train. I've always felt she was capable of so much more, including using her upper body in a more expressive manner like she is now doing. Anyway, nice job!Chaeyeon may have had the cleaner skate...but I love Kaori so much that I don't mind seeing her at the top after the short program!
Because Kaori is such a great skater, the program i secondary.how can you all like Kaori's terrible program?

Seeing her live...even when she doesnt do well, lifts me up....that smile she gave me in the elevator in Vegas turned me to goo....The doc I was finally able to see says I should be good in 10 days. I had to drive two hours around Spokane finding an urgent care facility that would see me without a 600 dollar bill. Finally found one 15 miles away that would take my insurance. Took an old car so all the blood stains dont matter....the house is a mess! LOL! Go team Japan!
