2022 Skate America Women's Free Skate

[Lamente Ariane]

Sia is not my cup of tea, but Kaori is Our World Champion showing everyone how it's done!

Grown woman Kaori might be my favorite thing on earth! This is no Amelie anymore. Wow.

That first minute was a skating skills clinic. So many deep edges. I could not take my eyes off of her. Give her ALL the PCS!

If Levito can be overscored by 15 points, then I fully expect 150+ for Sakamoto. Judges, do the thing.

 

[Arigato]

Loved it.

 

[skylark]

too much shrieking and screeching in the music today. add to that the shrieking from the audience ... I had to turn it way down

Gasp, Kaori only got step sequence 3

But this should be enough to win, lovely skate, lovely dress

 

[CellarDweller]

You go, Kaori!

 

[4everchan]

that was awesome... Thank you Kaori (and Amber)

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Oh shut up, Simon, just because it's the USA doesn't mean every American came here only for the Americans.

Kaori's winning me over with her program choices this year. Even with the errors she's just leaps and bounds over the others here.

 

[labgoat]

Kaori for the win. Breaks up an American sweep and I could care less. Kaori is my queen of positive energy.

Shades of Yuka Sato in Kaori's connecting steps - I love it.

Indeed.

 

[Arigato]

And there you have it. Boom.

 

[GGFan]

I'm on board with the PCS simplification. A bit more detail than 6.0 but not so many categories that the judges are overwhelmed.

 

[yelyoh]

And the skate gods got it right!! Yes Kaori.

 

[OS]

Uhmm Levito's inflation effect is a bit obvious....

 

[4everchan]

well.. well... what an intense first weekend of GPs.... not sure I can handle 5 more...
