Kaori Sakamoto

Congratulations, Kaori!! I would love to see her in the final, but whatever happens, she put up a great fight after some seriously bad falls in practice/the short program. Her FS was divine :bow:
 
Kaoriiiiii 😍😍😍 I've just came back from the arena and whoa. She was amazing. I don't understand why people think that she isn't enough polished, like for me she was the best, she is smooth and gentle, and her jumps are to die for.
She got the ovation of the day, together with Yuzu because they were otherwordly. People were crying after she finished.
One of the reasons I came to Helsinki was to watch her and I fell in love with her skating even more.
I'm really proud of her.

What a privilege to watch these two!
Kaori was really wonderful, into the book of greatest comebacks for sure! Her skating is so effortless and beautiful. This program grows on me a little more each time I watch it. I’m glad to see her evolve as a skater. [emoji122]
 
Congratulations Kaori! :yahoo:
It was heartbreaking to see the final scores but I'm glad that she almost made the lock for GPF from that devastating SP.
Praying to the skating gods that she would end up in the finals.
 
Her FP was the best. I really hope she will make it. It would be a sad GPF without Kaori's smile...
 
We gave Kaori a standing ovation, She is sooo powerful and a great personality. Benoit was not kidding when he said just watch her live, you will get it. I got it and thank you for this wonderful experience.
 
Still can't get over how happy Kaori was at skating her FS clean and how adorable she is :luv17:
 
I hope Kaori makes it to the GPF. I'd love to see her skate there when I go to Vancouver! :luv17:
 
In case any of you were curious about the CBC commentary for her GP Helsinki LP, it's at the 3:55 mark, plus there's a warm-up clip at 1:38 and a "Coming Up" fluff at 2:56 (the password is women): https://vimeo.com/296555247 Her SP wasn't broadcast on Canadian television.
 
It is going to be tough for Kaori to get into the GPF. :( It will be close between Mako, Evgenia, Kaori, and to a lesser extent Stanislava and Sofia. If only she had gotten Silver above Stanislava...

I'm going to be so mad if Kaori doesn't make the final, because lord knows she deserved that silver medal but she wuzrobbed, it was ridiculous! :disapp:
Let's wait and see, I'm rooting for Kaori to have a chance of skating both program clean at the GPF and really make her statement this season. :pray:
 
She made an incredible comeback at this Grand Prix Helshinki damage the mistake on the court.
I'm a fan of the game Final Fantasy but I find that the music she chose does not fit it's a shame, but I still love her LP or have the impression that it projects the film, she fought hard, I hope it will be enough to see her in the final.
 
Fun fact: it actually took me a while to realize "The Piano" was from "The Piano" movie(which I refer to as the "he chopped it off" movie). :laugh:
That movie is so heartbreaking and I think Kaori's interpretation is just wonderful! The choreography is also great, I think it's one of the best Benoit has done if not the best.
 
I'm so happy Kaori qualified for GPF, she deserved it! I was worried for awhile due to her bronze at Helsinki (should've have been silver...), but glad she made it. I hope she'll do 2 clean programs at Vancouver.
