Figure skating: Japan’s Kaori Sakamoto wins 3rd straight world title

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.
