Kaori had the perfect skate! Take your time getting off the ice girl. What a finish!

Beautiful tears from Mone.

 

[Arigato]

YES!

 

[maofan]

I think she did it! 4th time world champion. She cannot regret anything, she had a wonderful competitive career!

 

[labgoat]

My scores...

you are not alone...I did get Kaori right and some points for Isabeau and Mone

The banner I would've been waving in the arena had I been there right now (waved it during her SP)

oops...sorry the image is so large in this post

Kaori Sakamoto there will NEVER be another like you

 

[yfan1]

My god, that wasn't the best she's ever skated. If we must pick a world title winning performance from her, then I'd give it to the 2023 worlds performance.

Kaori wins, no doubt about it.

Amber! Amber! Amber what happened. I kind of expect Ami might be brought down here but Amber on the big stge just can't do it. Good Job by Lara - she has powerful jumps a bit like Joannie Rochette. Great amplitude. Nice work by Levito but she kind of reminds me of Ashley Wagner or Kimmie Meissner very nice skaters. Nice but not overly special or unique. And maybe one time wonders like Leonova, and some of those one time Russian medallists. Good job by Mone to hold it together. Nina was good but I would check some of those jumps.

She deserved this moment so badly. It's the best ending that could've happened. Thank you, Kaori.
