Russian Olympic champion Alina Zagitova has added yet another title to her growing collection of awards after winning gold at the 2019 World Figure Skating Championships in Japan.
Leading after the short program, Zagitova flawlessly performed her technically complicated free routine to the legendary Carmen opera by Georges Bizet to claim her maiden world title in addition to the European and Olympic golds she took last year.
Zagitova immaculately landed all of her jumps, including her signature triple lootz triple loop combination which was executed in the second part of the routine.
The 16-year-old Russian ace received more 155.42 points for her free program to post an overall score of 237.50 points, which was enough to top the podium ahead of Kazakhstan's rising star Elizabet Tursynbayeva and Russia's Evgeniya Medvedeva in third.
