Kaori!!!! OMG that was phenomenal

 

[Metis]

observing huge improvement in kaori's interpretative skill/musicality makes me sad that mai's stagnating in that department. I feel the judges here sent a wrong message to mai with their pcs marking.

so much this

Kaori's speed and ice coverage are out of this world! Benoit did an awesome job of giving her something unique

 

[Anni234]

Kaori for me is a bit meh, but that was a nice skate

 

[brens78]

this is gonna be close :eeking:

 

[Ichatdelune]

Sakamoto Kaori is just so pleasing to watch, her skating is like butter and with such speed, and her jumps come out of nowhere and look both effortless and powerful. She's going to Worlds, she deserves it.

 

[MaiKatze]

That was goosebumpy stuff....a real climax. Kaori is the National Champion!!!! OMG! :agree: She was soo nervous but held her own, I'm so happy and proud!!

 

[IlVoloFan]

Kaori got it!!!

 

[gonewiththewind25]

I think she might have done it, considering the lead after the Short Program

 

[Metis]

More like BYE Mihara, amirite.

*shows self out*

 

[champs]

Stop kissing me LOL

 

[readernick]

Kaori may win??? I know she has a lot of fans. She is not my favorite but if she wins. Good for her.

 

[Danny T]

Why do they want Sotoko to win? Rika has potential to win Worlds and Mai is so consistent, can medal.
Sotoko will depend on the panel if she gets or not the calls.

I mean, based on the real-time GOEs on her jumps and the fact they weren't even reviewed sans very obvious mistake. I do think intl panel would at least put some of the jumps under review.

 

[Dreamer57]

152.36!! Congrats Kaori!

 

[frida80]

I think Kaori got this! Well deserved!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Nah, with the 3Lz iffy she's not going to win against Kihira Rika with those 3As.

Edit: Okay, I am eating my words. But good for her!

 

[Danny T]

OMG Kaori Sakamoto JAPANESE CHAMPION!

Her reaction is the best!

 

[schizoanalyst]

JPN Fed doesn't inflate PCS much. But they do inflate GOE a lot lol
