Alysa Liu became the first American woman to win the World Figure Skating Championships in 19 years on Friday night in Boston with a free skate in which she landed seven clean triple jumps.
The free skate and her short program gave Liu a cumulative 222.97 points, which put her 4.99 points ahead of Japan's Kaori Sakamoto, who had won the past three World championships. Mone Chiba, also of Japan, finished third for bronze.
