Three-time world champion Kaori Sakamoto dominated the short program on Friday, putting herself in prime position to defend her title at what she says will be her final NHK Trophy. Sakamoto said in June she will retire from competition after next year’s Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. Skating to a season-best 77.05, she led by almost 10 points over Kazakhstan’s Sofia Samodelkina.
