We have pleasure in presenting a selection of updates from the Women’s Ice Skating Short Program, on 17/02/2026, where there was elation for some, and tears and heartbreak for others!  Congratulations to Ami Nakai who delivered a score of 78.71 in the women’s short program at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, finishing first ahead of Kaori Sakamoto and Alysa Liu.
