Boston — Elissa Liu didn’t believe it.
While he was sitting on the white sofa, he was tightly on him in his two coaches in the eyes of everyone in the TD Garden, he said — Or his mouth, it was impossible to hear much of anything with the noise of people trembling around the square — “What?” in atheism. Free scores of the new settlement were announced to the public — 148.39 to a total of 222.97 total — and the realization was hit per second.
He was the world champion in
The 19-year-old man said to his ear, “What is hell?” With a broad smile and expression, in a clear shock about what he has done.
Liu’s success may have been the most unexpected result of an unforgettable week. In addition to being the world championship three times in Japan, Kaori Sakamoto became the first American woman to win the title since
“I don’t lie, it’s a crazy story,” Liu said, a few moments later on television. “I don’t know how I got back to become the world champion.
Elissa Liu is the Golden. ✨

Liu’s victory was only the beginning of a end of a dominant and statement from an American section, which in mass proved that they were still the main skiing power of the world after giving up the claims in recent years. On Saturday afternoon, Madison Cuck and Ivan Beits were the third consecutive ice dance tournament and a few hours later, Elia Malinn shut down the event — with another high level known as flight — to win a second consecutive title as the world champion.
It was the first time in history that the Americans won three of four world titles in a single world championship.
“I feel very happy to be one of the three wins that a local crowd in the United States has won,” Malinn said on Saturday night. “I’m really proud of the team we were able to present.
Before the end of the Malin sketter, which was a crowded quad axel and a bakfli near the fever, the audience was on its own feet and trembled with a applause that was usually heard only in the building after the season for Celtic and Bruynes. That was the four-day summit of the story for Americans, and the fans, and less than a year to the top of the sport at the 2026 Olympics, as if everyone thought it was a sign that it was still happening.
“Three world champions are very interesting in an Olympic season,” Grassy Gold, a member of the American team, who won the bronze medal and twice the national champion, told ESPN on Saturday. “I feel optimistic about the Super (About Olympic Medal). … a very important year. I think everyone feels optimistic. Who will not be?”
The United States has not been less in the Figar street skiing over the past decades. Michelle Kuan, Christie Yamaguchi, Dorothi Hamil and Brian Botano, who remain in the country’s sporting scene, have collected the Olympic Medal, World Championships and other titles of the biggest events of the sport.
But while the Americans continued to win the strong epidemic in the ice dance, and Natan Chen and the US team won the gold medal in Beijing in No American woman has asked the Olympic Son Songs since Sasha Cohen won the silver in 2006, and the drought in
Liu, an amazing talent and has had some interesting difficulty at a young age, seemed to be the best hope to reverse the luck, but initially in 2022 as a 16-year-old child who was burned after finishing third in the world championship.
Perhaps much of the women’s struggle –, once recognized in all the country’s winter Olympics –, which focuses on the sport, from the audience to participation, in recent years has decreased.
But the weekend seemed to prove that the country had turned a corner. The mixture of talented US slippery, which is moved by party and sold people, and the absence of the Russians (the country was prevented from the invasion of Ukraine in 2022) paved the way for an amazing show.
And he goes beyond those who have won the world title. All three American women ended on Friday to five of their main players — What had not happened since 2001, Isabio Liveto, who won the silver in 2024, ranked fourth. Amber Glenn, who was among the nominees in the race after a previous season, was in fifth place after a short program was active on Wednesday.
“I mean, ‘Go, America’, that’s a kind of everything I can say,” Liu told reporters. “I’m very proud of both Isab and Amber who have set such a big show, such a big fight, and they were really nice to be with them this week.
“They make them all happy and give them success,” he said. (And, even in the liuda situation, before the competition, borrow the mattom of the yoga of Glen.)
“All all that is only pushing us to be better for each other,” he said.
Chuck, 32, and Baytis, 36, may have been the consolidated part of the United States three years ago after the Olympics. The couple were members of the 2022 Olympics, who initially won silver and raised gold after the Russian Olympic Committee team won the main award after a doping scandal. Czech and Batts also won six world medals, including three last world titles. And it followed them in a strong American dual dual line. In 2006, the country has a medal in all the tournaments.

While neither other teams have created ice dances, both of them won 10 of the 10 main players, Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponumarenko finished first in the race and won fifth place. Caroline Green and Michael Parsons finished ninth. Baits praised both twins after Saturday, saying there was a “strong distrust” pipe in the US discipline.
“Our goal is to be above the podium in Milan,” he said. “This (success) doesn’t actually change that.
And after his defeat to TD Garden, no one may be sure of the Olympic glory of Malin.
The 20-year-old is deprived of the ice and has been seen around the console at TD Arena throughout the week and shouting at his team-mates. But he is a certificate constituency on the ice — a “square” as shown in his Instagram account, with the stubborn ranks of such stratospherics that such as Simon Billes in gymnastics, seems impossible to catch it.
After his short program, which was a lot of thought, three points took the lead at the end of the Yuma Kagiama bronze medal and more than 15 points on the verge of stadium.

Even Kagiama couldn’t hide his admiration.
“I feel that street slips and art slips, the expressions of every year are better,” he said through a translator. “I’m thinking that he hasn’t lost.
On Saturday, Malin was further separated from Cagiama and others with another impressive and surprising slime. In a virtual way, all the jumps and skills that illuminated Jumbotron with green, which indicates that it was successful and obtained the bonus point for implementation, the numbers gathered so quickly that he felt more video games rather than an artistic effort. Free Street slipping scores 208.15 were more than 15 points more than anyone else, and a total of 318.56 31.09 was better than Mikhail Shaedrov, Kazakhstan.

There is a year before the Milano Cortina Olympics, Malin is likely to be in his own league, everyone else is fighting for second place, and almost will be on the face of the games and maybe maybe the The face of the American team. He has spoken about his desire to make the sport more popular, at home and around the world, and is likely to do it with any viral performance and high support that he will ensure. He made a bakflik — again — on the ice after being introduced to the public as the world champion during the victory ceremony.
Jason Brown, a 30-year-old fan who is loved by art and emotion, but some of the most difficult elements of his main peers, had almost a free skiing flaw to finish eighth. Andrew Torgasheev, 2025, was a more active journey, and fell twice during a free street skiing.
The pair competition was the weakest place for Americans in Boston, but even that can be considered a win. Because Elissa Ifimova and Misha Metroprofanonov are in sixth place, and Illi Kam and Danny Oshi in the seventh, the result of 13 people gives the country the opportunity to introduce three teams to the Olympics — something that has not been done since 1994.
“That will have a lot of meaning,” Metrofanov told NBC Sports on Thursday. “That’s greater than us. That’s something, in fact, we have put a small goal on us (to come to the world).
So now, the biggest question for Americans in the sport is a simple question: Can they stay at a high level and dominate the world’s largest theater in February in Italy?
Certainly, it seems that the country’s main slippery, throughout the disciplines, is able to do so. But of course, the Russian participation is still unclear and there are still 313 long and unexpected days until the Olympic team starts.
“My things can happen in street slips,” Gold told ESPN on Saturday. “The ice is slippery.
