The 2019 World Figure Skating Championships Ladies event was held in Saitama, Japan, on Wednesday evening. A total of 40 women skated the Short Program with Alina Zagitova of Russia taking the lead, followed by Japan's Kaori Sakamoto and Elizabet Tursynbaeva of Kazakhstan.
“The audience really helped me today,” said the European silver medalist. “It was a good performance. I didn’t always skate so well in the short program this season. There were some underrotations or other little errors. Here, I skated with joy, I didn’t have to hold back. The audience was great, I love to skate here. I know there are also Russian fans here and I heard their support and it helped me. I was calm. After my score, I was happy for a moment, but now I’m focusing on the free skating.”
