Japanese figure skater Kaori Sakamoto just flipped the script on sports history! 🌟 On Friday, she became the first woman in 56 years to clinch three consecutive World Figure Skating Championships titles, a feat last achieved by American legend Peggy Fleming in 1968.
🏆 Scoring a dazzling 222.96 in Montreal, Sakamoto capped off a flawless season after dominating the ISU Grand Prix Final and Japanese National Championships late last year. The podium also lit up with fresh talent: 17-year-old U.S. skater Isabeau Levito snagged her first senior world medal, while South Korea's Kim Chae-yeon claimed bronze in her second Worlds appearance. Belgium's Loena Hendrickx, who led after the short program, slipped to fourth. Talk about edge-of-your-seat drama! 🔥
📈 Sakamoto's win isn't just gold—it's a cultural reset for the sport, proving that discipline, artistry, and a dash of fearlessness can make legends. Who else is ready to binge-watch her routines on repeat? 🎬✨
