I'm very proud of her. Her goal initially was just to improve her position from the previous olympics and she did it! The fact that she was one of the only six female skaters who got qualified for the 2nd olympics this year is already an achievement. Congrats Kaori! I'm supporting you always! I hope your dream to get qualified for the 3rd olympics in milan comes true 😄
A perfect performance! Truly, an Olympic figure skating star!! More power to you, graceful and very skilled figures skater! And very pretty too! Congratulations to you!!👏👏👏
You can just feel this program. So emotional and memorable with beautiful artistry. Quads are impressive and all but it doesnt give you the same feels if you dont have the artistry.
Yess!! Quads are great..but without artistry, seriously I don't think it is what we call figure skating. This here, is FS in its truest essence. Reminds me to the era where you can see the art as well as the athleticism. Now it's like all about quads. So I'm really happy that despite the drama, Kaori got the podium she deserved.
On the contrary those gold and silver medalists' free skates are so forgettable, and I'm not even interested in rewatching them at all. I rewatched Kaori's both programs many times since the Games and each time I was moved and in awe of her flying across the ice like superwoman!
@@ezen-harttjonathaniberion8227 valieva's short program is absolutely amazing. How can you be so jealous about these "quads", yes Trusova hasn't any artistic vibe but Shcherbakova and especially Valieva have so much talent and combine athleticism and artistry. I'm sure that if women other than the Russians knew how to do quad jumps, no one would point out that it's a scandal. I really have the impression that there is an Asian fetishism in figure skating and a Russophobia since 2014 and the "Sotnikova-gate". Please, accept Russian athletes, and I'm sure that in few years, asian women skaters will be know to do quads, because this is the evolution of the sport.
@@swanoudhopefully someone will find a way to do quads without relaying to much in the weight of the body and the back. We want to see those amazing athletes in more than one Olympics and not being disposed and replace like the Russian girls.
Kaori sakamoto REPRESENTING. Only woman in the gpf with other 5 russians with ultra c elements. Now standing on the olympic podium amongst them with her amazing artistry and insane skill. No overscoring. No bonuses. Just talent
Are you here to support Japanese, or you came to hate Russians??? Both russians won fairly and Japanese supporting them ,athletes like kaori are respected not just for their talent but more importantly for their sportsmanship, they don't need people like you ruining their reputation.
@@niln7967 who said anything about the other two not winning fairly? You did. Everyone knows the russians are hugely overscored and that they don’t need it because they perform at a high level of technical difficulty. Which i’ve said multiple times on this channel. I said on my comment they are landing ultra c elements which is known to be very hard, with all that in mind Kaori competing with them is VERY impressive in my opinion. Funny enough I thought sasha should’ve won (my personal opinion ofc she’s my fave) since she did 5 quads. Did she deserve 70 pcs? No, but the others pcs shouldn’t be as high imo even if you lowered hers. The gap is not insurmountable with 5 quads. That’s the entire point. Overacored pcs, insane technicality seen only in the men’s competition. Anyone competing with that is talented and impressive and pointing it out is deserved.
No overscoring or no bonuses? Eversince the introduction of the point system, the OLYMPICS is the biggest competition where overscoring and bonuses is normal, and it is a norm. From single skating to pairs or dance, everything and everyone is overscored during the olympics.
She should be first - she is the only one with no prerotation on her ultra c and triples. Judges don't punish tutberitze skaters for years for those mistakes. Also Kaori has way more artistic presence than Trusova which was also treated like it wasn't there. ISU judges are corrupted for years now.
I'm in awe with Kaori speed everytime I watch her skating. She is like a wind!!! And how I love the speed in and out of her jumps❤❤❤She is one of a kind!!!
She is the REAL figure skating sport: not only jumps. She has skating skill, beautiful lines, clean edges in her steps, strong coreography and skates' control.
I'm in tears!! Such a touching performance. The musicality, artistry, costume, her beautiful jumps. This is what figure skating is about! Congrats Kaori Sakamoto!!
Not the only, a couple of great contenders were there who were evaluated way to low due to the nonsence points sytem! But she was most definitely the absolute highlight of the event!!
it is SO heartwarming to watch this amazing woman perform!! her crying happy tears for finishing on the podium with little expectations but great passion for her craft makes me tear up too.. no pressure, no dieting, no stress, just pure enjoynment, that's what it's supossed to be about!! you can see it on her face. i'm so happy for Kaori!!
This performance won't leave my mind, it's SO POWERFUL. Figure skating it's not just about quads to get the highest score, it needs the quality, elegance and sensitivity she delivered. Just utterly gorgeous.
The music is so emotional. This program remains in my memory forever. The Japanese girls choose such music because they want to encourage people in this hard time of COVIDE19. They do not only want the medal.
@@animepng9061Russians are banned from international competition due to the Ukraine invasion. And Anna and Sasha have hit the Eteri expiration date. It is highly unlikely they'll compete again.

She is gorgeous, an awesome skater, who gave light on ice. I love her presentation too much. She has a new follower from this Olympics. Thanks Kaori!!! ❤️❤️❤️
You don't need to land quads to be great. Sakamoto was the only saving point of this competition. I said it before but it's like baseball, you don't have to hit homeruns to win the game, you got to perfect all your other talents, running, catching, pitching etc. Sakamoto perfects all other points, she doesn't need to do quads or put her whole program based on them. That's why this is her second Olympics and you'll probably see her in 2026 as well.
This had the best balance of skill, strength, and elegance, and was the smoothest performance i saw this olympics. Just beautiful to watch. Hope she skates and competes for as long as she wants!
She'll definitely be back. She said she's aiming for it! And since she has quality skill, and method (clearly, because she didn't have to retire by 18) she will have a long career. Can't wait to see her skate again. (Also, if they raise the age limit to prevent the exploitation of underaged skaters, as the recent scandals have brought to light, maybe she'll be back with gold next time~!)

That's one thing I adore about the Japanese skaters. When Shoma would beat Yuzuru, Yuzuru was very happy and respectful towards him. Not like some of the Russian skaters.
Kaoriiii, this was EPIC!!! Your QUALITY of skating is superb! Every time I watch you skate, I either get goosebumps, or cry! Thank you for being you, and thank you for persisting!
It’s almost ironic that the reason why Eteri girls fall apart is literally spelled out in the song Kaori preformed to - strength and beauty go together.
There was apparently a study done where it showed that 🥉 medalists were usually so much happier than 🥈 medalists. I think it said it was because the bronze medalists were just happy to get on the podium where silver medalists were unhappy because they got close to 🥇 but didn't get it.
Smooth, flowing, easy and yet so solid and powerful. Beautiful lines and transitions. So emotional yet controlled the whole time. The choreography, jumps and step sequence have both the technicality and artistry here. I couldn’t look away. Thank you for the gorgeous performance 😊
It's been amazing following her journey since PyeongChang. When I first saw her, I thought... her skating would never grow on me. But after watching her The Piano programme, I began falling in love with her. She is the SUNSHINE of figure skating. Such a powerful skater! Her signature triple loop is always icing on the cake, such a fast entry and perfect execution! Sakamoto Loop! So happy to see her come so far and I'm simply ecstatic for her medal. She truly is the BEST GIRL! She soars on the ice! Even with this camera angle, we can see how fast she is.
Conversation after the performance Coach: "You weren't as fast as usual, were you? Do you want to try again?" Kaori: "I'd like to." This is a joke in the Japanese Osaka style.
I have watched this over and over. Came back just now after not seeing it for a while and cried my way through the second half. An artist and an athlete. Power, grace, and emotion. I love this. All the best to you, Kaori Sakamoto
Девушка-солнце, просто очаровательная. Костюм самый шикарный, самый лучший на олимпиаде, дизайн супер. Прыжки длинные, легкие, без усилий, смотришь на ее катание и легко на сердце тоже. Мотивация бешеная у этой программы, "у меня в душе ничего не осталось, смотрите на меня, это вся моя суть" говорит она свои прокатом. Владение коньком у японцев все таки это лучшее. А какая культура, манеры поведения, вызывают восхищение и уважение. Спасибо за шикарные прокаты и заслуженные медали.
Да, спортсменка шикарная, очень понравилась ее программа... Но я в шоке с некоторых комментаторов, мол лучше русских. Возникает вопрос, а русские просто так золото тогда получили?) Еще про допинг тыкают, сами нифига не зная😑 А девушка такая яркая, радостная😍 Очень здорово было смотреть ее реакцию на пьедестал, награждение... Зайка🙃🥰
@@Алина-ь2ч9я ну про допинг не вранье ж, было и препараты помогают улучшать результаты. А так меня они мало волнуют, потому что не мой стиль. Честно говоря не люблю когда приносят такие комментарии где обсуждаем Каори.

@@teehee8101 you should first understand the problem of doping in Camila. They broke this kid. There was no doping, as well as other Russian athletes. Just look at other Russian skaters, even juniors! they have perfect results. Everything in Eteri Tutberidze's group jumps complex elements. You can say what you want, but figure skaters in Russia better and above all the others. I'm not devaluing other athletes, they also achieve this through hard work, but you should not devalue our insanely talented and strong girls.
СПАСИБО за такой теплый ,добрый комментарий! Никто из иностранных фигуристок не может превзойти катание русских фигуристок! Это несравненно! Иностранные фигуристки даже рядом не стоят ! Это правда! А правда глаза колет.
@@raiskairiska4062 А Вы считаете,что Валиева не достойна стоять на пьедестале?И двойной Аксель Каори ,согласитесь ,это не тройной Аксель Камиллы.Валиева завалила программу намеренно,что бы было награждение хотя бы Ани и Саши,а Каори подфартило.И я настаиваю,что она заняла чужое место.
@@ОльгаГерасимова-е1в не думаю, что Камилла сделала это намеренно, она просто была под очень сильным давлением из-за всей этой печальной ситуации с допингом и прочим, и она не получила своё золото, но Каори уже второй раз отобралась на олимпиаду, и вполне может быть и на третью попадёт, а у нас с этим все печально, фигуристки меняются как перчатки(
坂本花織さん、かおちゃん!素晴らしい演技で団体と個人戦両方で銅メダルおめでとう! Congrats Kaori! I love her smooth and gorgeous skating and jump🔥🔥🔥 素晴らしいスケーティングとかっこいいジャンプと笑顔全部大好きですが、大舞台で実力を出し切ったところに感動 本当におつかれさまでした💛かっこよかった
This young lady was the only bright light in this whole women's program and even though she got the bronze, she won a lot of people to admire her. Happy for her.
Такой красивый прокат, ее прыжки и скольжение завораживают Японцы замечательны в этом Так же красивое музыкальное сопровождение, благодаря этому запоминается Она заслужила эту медаль как и все фигуристки, которые старались и шли к своей цели❤️

She deserved rve better then to win only because russians forbidden. She is so much better then you. But she definitely needs 3a or quads@@JenniferEvans-e5n
I feel kinda bad because I think the Russian girls definitely worked hard but I definitely enjoyed Kaori's performance the most and can't help feeling like she deserves the gold.
I am so impressed continually with how much she truly dances with the music as she skates. This is something I saw in this, her short program, her Matrix program, and even skating to Amelie, which even with limited understanding I can see wasn't technically strong. I just love her power and how she is actually in sync with the music. So many of the top female skaters just seems to go "music fast, skate fast, music slow, skate slow" but she actually times jumps to the music and dances to the rhythm, and feels the swells and dips. It makes for such an enjoyable program to watch. This one makes me cry
Какая она позитивная, солнечная! Просто купается в своём завораживающем танце, сливаясь с прекрасной музыкой, красавица! Про скольжение, пролётные прыжки, размах и свободу катания уже много сказано. Спасибо, Каори 🙏❤за ещё одну чудесную программу, за это волшебство. С Олимпийской бронзой тебя! которая стала для тебя 🌟дороже золота.

This is a joke in the Japanese Osaka style.
Ohhh thanks for translating I love it!! 💙
I was LITERALLY sobbing watching it live TV a week ago. Thank you Kaori💖
I have watched this over and over. Came back just now after not seeing it for a while and cried my way through the second half. An artist and an athlete. Power, grace, and emotion. I love this. All the best to you, Kaori Sakamoto
She became a real artist. Congrats, Kaori! You are the best.
So much power! Very happy she made it to the podium, a true Olympian
My absolute favorite program of this olympics. Such a powerful program. It gives me chills every time I watch it!
Девушка-солнце, просто очаровательная. Костюм самый шикарный, самый лучший на олимпиаде, дизайн супер. Прыжки длинные, легкие, без усилий, смотришь на ее катание и легко на сердце тоже. Мотивация бешеная у этой программы, "у меня в душе ничего не осталось, смотрите на меня, это вся моя суть" говорит она свои прокатом. Владение коньком у японцев все таки это лучшее. А какая культура, манеры поведения, вызывают восхищение и уважение. Спасибо за шикарные прокаты и заслуженные медали.
согласна с каждым Вашим словом. А про культуру это отдельное восхищение.
Japanese fans are so racists, fetichists and fanatics… I don’t know why
Да, спортсменка шикарная, очень понравилась ее программа...
Но я в шоке с некоторых комментаторов, мол лучше русских. Возникает вопрос, а русские просто так золото тогда получили?) Еще про допинг тыкают, сами нифига не зная😑
А девушка такая яркая, радостная😍 Очень здорово было смотреть ее реакцию на пьедестал, награждение... Зайка🙃🥰
@@Алина-ь2ч9я ну про допинг не вранье ж, было и препараты помогают улучшать результаты. А так меня они мало волнуют, потому что не мой стиль. Честно говоря не люблю когда приносят такие комментарии где обсуждаем Каори.
@@jiyonseung1069 на вкус и цвет😌
I'm Korean. You make me proud. You're my champion indeed.
Congratulate you get a bronze!
ジャンプの入りから着地までのスピード感、ブレない姿勢、ダイナミックな動き、全部が美しくて好き。
この先何回もこの演技を見たくなると思います。
They say Valieva is the best skater or the russians are the best but how can you say that when all they do is cheating and taking illegal drugs? they take drugs all practice and stop just before the competition. when you search rusada, they are suspended from taking bribes. I wouldn't call valieva the best. Have you seen her performance? that was the worst performance since she wasnt allowe to take tmz!
@@teehee8101 you should first understand the problem of doping in Camila. They broke this kid. There was no doping, as well as other Russian athletes. Just look at other Russian skaters, even juniors! they have perfect results. Everything in Eteri Tutberidze's group jumps complex elements. You can say what you want, but figure skaters in Russia better and above all the others. I'm not devaluing other athletes, they also achieve this through hard work, but you should not devalue our insanely talented and strong girls.
СПАСИБО за такой теплый ,добрый комментарий! Никто из иностранных фигуристок не может превзойти катание русских фигуристок! Это несравненно! Иностранные фигуристки даже рядом не стоят ! Это правда! А правда глаза колет.
Beauty, speed, elegance, artistry. Great choreography, great performace. Love that closing pose.
Well deserved medal Kaori chan ,keep continue skating , you are great🇯🇵❤✌
She placed gold for me this skate is soon beautiful moving and strong! Thank you KAORI ♥️🌟
This was very beautiful, I almost teared up. The music choice was great.
So proud of her i want to hug her!! shes like a ray of sunshine
圧倒的ラスボス感。
やはり経験を重ねた選手の演技は何度も見たくなる。
Желаю Каори, ещё не раз стоять на пьедесталах крупных турниров! она заслуживает этого❤️
Она заняла чужое место.
@@ОльгаГерасимова-е1в неправда, она чисто откатала обе программы, и ее двойной аксель зарабатывает самые большие гое, она заслужила медаль
@@raiskairiska4062 А Вы считаете,что Валиева не достойна стоять на пьедестале?И двойной Аксель Каори ,согласитесь ,это не тройной Аксель Камиллы.Валиева завалила программу намеренно,что бы было награждение хотя бы Ани и Саши,а Каори подфартило.И я настаиваю,что она заняла чужое место.
@@ОльгаГерасимова-е1в не думаю, что Камилла сделала это намеренно, она просто была под очень сильным давлением из-за всей этой печальной ситуации с допингом и прочим, и она не получила своё золото, но Каори уже второй раз отобралась на олимпиаду, и вполне может быть и на третью попадёт, а у нас с этим все печально, фигуристки меняются как перчатки(
@@raiskairiska4062 у каждого своя правда,но с двойным акселем занять 3-е место на ОИ-это,ну нет слов,одни эмоции.
Есть у японцев секрет какого-то необыкновенного скольжения!!!!! Каори шикарна! В отсутствии наших девочек, желаю ей выиграть ЧМ!!!!
shes such a ray of sunshine!!
Kaori your performance was awesome. You fly over the ice. You simply rock. Bravo!!💕💕💕💕💕
素晴らしいです。何度も見たくなる!
Каори, ты умничка!!! Очень красиво катаешься!!! И просто хороший человек! С любовью из России! 💜❤️💙💐🎊🌺
坂本花織さん、かおちゃん!素晴らしい演技で団体と個人戦両方で銅メダルおめでとう!
Congrats Kaori! I love her smooth and gorgeous skating and jump🔥🔥🔥
素晴らしいスケーティングとかっこいいジャンプと笑顔全部大好きですが、大舞台で実力を出し切ったところに感動 本当におつかれさまでした💛かっこよかった
she's brought tears to my eyes! i'm definitely not the only one. kaori embodies artistry, elegance, strength, and skill. what a breath of fresh air.
Happy international women’s day!! Such a gorgeous program by a powerful skater :)
Happy 2nd anniversary to Kaori's Olympic medal! She was truly the highlight of the event 💖
This was such a beautiful performance😍🥹
i aspire to be like kaori. she is so, strong, and positive, and insanely beautiful. she is my dream.
Каори замечательная,талантливая и такая лёгкая и изящная на льду!!!👍👍👍
I hope she will be the world champion 🙏
🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
I like Kaori's step sequence so much. Full of power and strength
Congrats!!!
clear program, elegant and no doping!!!
In my opinion she deserved silver medal
this routine brought me to tears. kaori is such an incredible skater
Another wonderful program. She is fierce, artistic and a skilled skater. Her maturity adds something extra.
This young lady was the only bright light in this whole women's program and even though she got the bronze, she won a lot of people to admire her. Happy for her.
Такой красивый прокат, ее прыжки и скольжение завораживают
Японцы замечательны в этом
Так же красивое музыкальное сопровождение, благодаря этому запоминается
Она заслужила эту медаль как и все фигуристки, которые старались и шли к своей цели❤️

I don't care what others say. She deserves the gold
She might actually get it, if the Russians are forbidden to compete.
She deserved rve better then to win only because russians forbidden. She is so much better then you. But she definitely needs 3a or quads@@JenniferEvans-e5n
@@JenniferEvans-e5nRussians are allowed to compete in 2026 but I’m pretty sure some eteri girls won’t be able to be there because of age restrictions
@@ukrmessiеще есть время, у нее достаточно других девочек, которые смогут пройти отбор
I feel kinda bad because I think the Russian girls definitely worked hard but I definitely enjoyed Kaori's performance the most and can't help feeling like she deserves the gold.
Her speed and power is breathtaking.
She's amazingggggg even her spins ooze with musicality. They are ON the beat!
КАОРИ ТАКОЕ СОЛНЦЕ😭😭😭😭 прекрасная!! и откатала тоже прекрасно, восхищаюсь
I am so impressed continually with how much she truly dances with the music as she skates. This is something I saw in this, her short program, her Matrix program, and even skating to Amelie, which even with limited understanding I can see wasn't technically strong. I just love her power and how she is actually in sync with the music. So many of the top female skaters just seems to go "music fast, skate fast, music slow, skate slow" but she actually times jumps to the music and dances to the rhythm, and feels the swells and dips. It makes for such an enjoyable program to watch. This one makes me cry
Subarashi Satamoto Chan 😊
You were beautiful out there. A true champion. Your program brought me to tears. Sending love from Australia
Какая она позитивная, солнечная! Просто купается в своём завораживающем танце, сливаясь с прекрасной музыкой, красавица! Про скольжение, пролётные прыжки, размах и свободу катания уже много сказано. Спасибо, Каори 🙏❤за ещё одну чудесную программу, за это волшебство. С Олимпийской бронзой тебя! которая стала для тебя 🌟дороже золота.

Amazing amazing FS from one of my favourite skaters. So proud of you Kaori! What an inspiring program
She so deserves a medal! Happy for her!
I like her smile! So powerful and amazing performance, I’m proud of her.
Off topic but can we appreciate her costumes. They are unique and very suitable for her!
I love the music, the choreo, the artistic expressions of Kaori! ❤️
Such wonderful performances from Kaori in these Olympics she should be so proud, i love her style so fluid and the speed amazing job Kaori🙌🙌🙌
このプロも衣装も曲もフリも軽いジャンプも着氷流れも全部素敵&好き
荒川さん真央ちゃんミキティ辞めたあとはロシア絶対時代に突入してメダルも中々厳しくなり、また紀平さんまさかの怪我離脱もある中で日本女子ココにあり!って感じで嬉しくもあり彼女をとても誇りに思います
Watching her is more joyful and happy different from watching someone jumping and jumping like a rabbit on ice congratulation with her
I had to watch this for Woman's Day. So inspiring, so moving. :)
Kaori-chan!! I am so happy and very proud of you! This performance was absolute perfection!! 💗💗💗 Everything was spot on! 😍😍😍 A new personal best in the free and overall to go along with the personal best from the short! And an Olympic Bronze medal to boot! 😉 Congratulations, Kaori!! 💖🇯🇵⛸🥉
I am very happy for Kaori Sakamoto, an Olympic medallist and Japan!
*THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL SKATE. KAORI THE BRIGHTEST OF ALL*
She was the best overall skater in this competition. Skating skills, jumps, edge control, speed, musicality, interpretation. The absolute whole package. ❤️
Нет она была явно не лучшей на то и стала третьей
@@ДжамаМ-ъ4мShe actually was better than the Russians in terms of pure skating skills.
She was the best, got third because the russ ladies were so overscored @@ДжамаМ-ъ4м
this performance gives me chills every time 🫶 i find myself rewatching it so often
Gorgeous! So fluid and floaty ❤️❤️
That skate was like a religious experience. Like she was one with the music. Enchanting.
Best free program of the season!😊
