Well done, Kaori  That was an amazing skate! I'm now hoping for Japan gold & silver

All the ladies are skating so well! Sorry for Ashley, what happened to her..?

Ashley had some infection with an ankle injury she had. It looked like she was having issues with this because she was pointing to her ankle before she skated off

Wow....this is such a great programme!!! And I liked how the birds chirping were included in her music cut....Hearing that made me understand the programme more...this is beautiful!!! I hope Kaori wins this!! 

Ashley just interviewed; said the ankle pain was more than she could stand.

Max and Angelo compliment Sakamoto for her ability to maintain high speed in and out of jumps c: 

she's just mesmerising live. She really is. She was better in practice than in her skates, though...

Really hope she'll feel better soon

Brilliant! She was on few people's radar for an Olympic spot at the start of the season and look at her now

I was just floored by her in practice! Her jumps, the height and distance, the flow! Her speed! Hope she can translate that into her programs more too

omg that reaction, Kaori, why are you so precious 

Kaori, what a reaction
