Japan’s Kaori Sakamoto has become the first woman to win three straight titles at the Figure Skating World Championships since 1968.
The 2022 Olympic bronze medalist staged a nearly flawless routine featuring multiple triple jumps in her free skate. 17-year-old American Isabeau Levito won Silver while Kim Chae-yeon of South Korea took bronze.

Sakamoto has dominated the season, sweeping the Grand Prix Series and claiming a fourth Japanese national title.
