I saw Kaor LIVE in her last performance, winning the 4th world champion title 🥹
She was magnificent. I'm in awe of her mental strength to deliver such an incredible performance tonight. The arena was roaring and she kept it cool and focused. It was so beautiful, strong, artistic - moved me to tears again.
There's a Polish song that comes to my mind when I think about Kaori leaving the sport. It goes like 'one should know when it's time to eave the stage - undefeated'. Even though I'm sad we won't see Kaori in competition anymore, I feel this is THE moment for her to close this chapter.
This girl rekindled my passion for this sport. It was my first ever live fs event and it feels so special for me to see her final competitive performance. Kaori always embodied true sportsmanship spirit to me, striving for the best and yet being humble, as well as kind and supportive towards other athletes.
In times when it seemed this sport would be dominated by teenagers for years to come, Kaori gave us programs of strong female protagonists such as herself - and she did so with incredible peecision and artistry. Thank you for all you did for this sport Kaori. Thank you for all the tears I shared with you. It was an honor.
