Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Japanese figure skater Kaori Sakamoto won the short program of the 2023 World Championships today. Immediately after skating in Saitai, the figure skater, who scored 79.24 points, shared her impressions of the performance.
“Last year at the Worlds, it was more difficult for me. I was not at my best, giving up all my strength at the Olympics. And this year, yes, I am the reigning world champion, but I don’t look at it from that angle. I keep in mind the last world championship in Saitama 4 years ago – and I remember the disappointment of that performance. Therefore, today I am here to rewrite the page of my history again”, sakamoto, whose words are quoted by Sports.ru.

- Kaori Sakamoto (Japan) – 79.24 points.
