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?
