on the ice. The 16 year old from Richmond, California right now
in fifth place. After the short program Alyssa
Lou
she set up this free skate so cleverly
What are just sequence there though? XXX half Loop, triple
salchow getting that 10% bonus on tired legs.
When they're applauding before you even finish, that's a good
sign. And when they're standing too.
One, thirty nine point, two eight, and she's going to take
the lead
overall to 11 and change. She is the leader here in this last
group.
What a season it has been, what an ending. This would be
with a 25 year old from Westminster, Colorado, in third place.
After the short program, Mariah
Bell
holds on that she is fighting for every single Landing.
She didn't have much of a lead over Alyssa Lou after the short
program, but she fought. So so hard for this performance.
Oh, so close. But if you got to feel right now, you sit there
and say in this season. I did everything I could do.
Listen, Lou Mariah Bell 12 on the leaderboard with two
skaters left to go.
What a dream world championships. It's been so far
for the 22 year old from Belgium, not 100% physically,
but in second place, after the short program,
Luna Hendricks,
Why Arc Queen?
She sure forgot about that. Injury Bravo, seating at
the World Championships knowing you have a shot at the podium. Is
a lot of pressure now, add an injury and about for training
days on top of that.
Wow,
Belgium's never won a medal at the world championships in
the women's event. They may have now
won thirty. Six point. Two zeros. What she need goes
Salem. Right. Past that. Yes. Look at that reaction.
In the first place
Luna, Hendrix of Belgium. On top of the leaderboard, Alyssa
Lou that Mariah Bell with one skater left.
We are down to the final skater in the women's
event at the World Championships.
She was the favorite coming in. She is the reigning Olympic
bronze medalist and the leader after a tremendous short
program. Kaori,
Sakamoto.
I love this free skate for for a celebration
being a woman and all that entails is strength,
the uniqueness
so hard to wait, so long backstage being in first place
knowing that your world title is on the line. That was
absolutely glorious. Glorious skating.
And a fine example
for what skating should look like.
Was there ever a doubt? I mean, she had to look the confidence
of a champion from the first second on ice.
Yeah, there it is. Wow. 155 almost 156. Kaori Sakamoto is
a world champion.
What a way to close out this Olympic season stood on
the podium
in Beijing as the bronze medalist. And now
it will be the top step of the podium for Cowie Sakamoto
at Worlds.
Luna Hendrix of first medal at Worlds for Belgium, the silver
and Alyssa lure, first trip to the senior world's wins
the bronze medal, just ahead of Mariah Bell.
I can do that because you don't directly that has some courses
there. So
please welcome the president of the French iPhone Federation,
not Helene Fischer
who will around the floors.
Mega miss you Mexico will be holding the stuff
that I got. No,
ladies and Gentlemen, please rise for the national anthem of
the champion.
Middle East.
