Can our next skater spoil the party?
Representing Republic of Korea, Chaeyeon Kim.
Hang on to your hats.
It's going to be a roller coaster right now.
Our final skater in the women's free here,
leading after a season's best score in the short program.
There's about four and a half thousand people in here
willing to do it again.
This is Chaeyeon Kim for Korea.
Beautiful start, double axel.
She was a bit off axis on the loop, but found the right foot.
Made the flip look easy with a double toe and a double loop on the end.
Triple Lutz, triple toe.
What a start to the second half.
Two jumps to go.
One down, and it's brilliant.
Triple Lutz, double axel.
And she makes the flip.
Representing Republic of Korea, Chaeyeon Kim.
Just listen to that.
Well, what a couple of weeks this young lady is having.
She comes here after winning the Asian Winter Games.
And she was brilliant in the short program.
There's no doubt about that.
And she's held the nerve.
And that free skate was a match to the performance that she gave in the short.
Silva, 12 months ago.
But she's for sure going to finish on the top of the podium after that.
Just impeccable, wasn't she?
From start to finish.
Nerves of steel, composure.
A real prowess to everything she did.
And there on that loop, she was a little bit outside the circle,
but somehow, someway, she got over that right foot and made it look easy.
There's a composure.
There's the salchow.
You can see she doesn't get an awful lot of elevation,
but her technique is so good.
The snap over the right foot, incredibly fast.
Fantastic on that combo spin.
So level fours on all three spins.
Level four on the step sequence.
Did not put a foot wrong.
It really was just a perfect example
of how to conduct yourself going into the free, into the lead at home.
A huge congratulations, not only to Chaeyeon Kim,
but to the team around her that have got her ready for these championships
and kept her cool over the last couple of days
between the short and the long as well.
Well done.
Well, she's born in Seoul, trains here,
and they love her.
Well, there they are.
Team USA.
The scores, please.
You can hear a pin drop.
Look at that.
It's a season's best score once again.
It's all in a day's work.
She's taking it in a stride.
But Chaeyeon Kim for Korea.
Well, she's walked away with it at the end of the day.
