I wish they would have given Mai Worlds to at least reward her for the strong skating she put out this season. She'd likely be in the mix for a medal.

I'M SO HAPPY. Kaori is fabulous, fantastic, out of this world and world champion! This is so well deserved. The fight, the persistence, the improvement and the hard-work. She absolutely belongs in that hall of fame.
And both her programs were so feel good they put a smile to your face. Her power and strength carries them beautifully.

Satoko Miyahara just announced her retirement on her IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/CbjftFeJjD6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
Thank you, Satoko. Your artistry on the ice will be remembered.

CONGRATULATIONS WORLD CHAMPION KAORI!!! 
Super well deserved. The speed she has is incredible and she does it with so few crossovers too. I love her gladiator SP and I actually really enjoy her FS too, just wish they'd do away with the voiceover and it would've been perfect.
I'm excited to see her what she works on for next season as she's mastered this layout now.

@cohkaix, is there any video of Mao's FS from today, or at least her 3A? Do you think any video will become available?

I doubt there will be a full video of the program. As for the news clip, it depends on if the media was there at the competition.
After the Olympics she said she wanted to go to next Olympics too.

She plans to continue and she wants to master a quad (I think....she has said that she finds 3A "scary" and thinks she has a better chance of acquiring a 4T or 4S), because she knows she can't win without one. It will be a huge challenge - she could easily just retire - but I wish her the best of luck.

As long as she's not getting injured and it's controlled I would love her to stay. Like Liza, with a quad jump she can stay and be competitive for years and years to come.
Here is a MAD made by Fuji about Japanese skaters during 2018-2022 cycle. Hope everyone enjoy it

Sakamoto looks great with short hair! I hope she keeps it that way. She's already over 20 and could easily retire as an Olympic medalist and World Champion, but I'm glad to hear she may be continuing for another four years.
Although I'm not happy about the Japanese ladies barely holding on to their Worlds spots for the second year in a row, I do think they did very well this season overall.

I have to agree with you there. I think JSF shot themselves in the foot by choosing Mana over Mai for the world team, especially if Wakaba was injured.
