The ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating NHK Trophy 2025 took place over the weekend in Osaka Prefecture, and Japanese skaters took the gold medal in both the men’s and the women’s singles. I missed the men’s singles, but I was able to watch the women’s singles live on Saturday evening. Although Aoki Yuna only came in sixth, I thought she gave one of the best performances. She had a wonderful smile, and every move was smooth and beautiful. I was also very impressed with the Belgian skater, Loena Hendrickx. Because of her free performance, she moved up from fourth place and got the bronze medal. Her good friend Sakamoto Kaori was the last skater. Her performance was perfect! She won the NHK Trophy gold medal for the second time in a row.   (133 words)
