I thought Kaori looked glorious in the Team SP.

Three time Olympic medalist! Such an incredible career she has had and still more competing to come with the individual event. Let's go Kaori!!!

Kaori seems like one of the most genuinely kind individuals, in addition to being such a superb skater. I went back and watched the mess that was Beijing women's free skate aftermath, and she remains such a beacon of light in that dark time. Can't wait to see her individual skates.

Congratulations to the 2X Olympic Team medalist! She looks strong and ready for the individual event.

Congrats Kaori. Big hugs for you. You are still Queen K in my book! I hope Yuma can offer some Silverware Consolation as he gets it I'm sure!

Best to you Kaori - you were the woman responsible for getting me to watch women's skating again. The program was: The Matrix.

Congrats to Kaori for the Silver Medal.

Congrats on another Olympic medal, so proud of her for ending her career on such a good skate! I want to write a whole message on how much she means to me, but that's for another time, I'll just say she has had me crying over her more than any other skater. What a fabulous career, our four time Olympic medalist, three time world champion, Kaori.

Thanks for these! The exhibition photo is especially lovely. IMO it captures the beautiful "floating" quality that Kaori has when she's skating her best.

Kaori has apparently confirmed she will be going to Worlds.

I hope she has a great end of her carrer at worlds
