Knierim and Frazier dominated this competition from start to finish, showing why they are the first U.S. team to wear the world crown in more than 40 years. Other than a small mistake on an early program triple toe loop combination in the free skate, the duo was the picture of perfection.
 
"It means the world for me, and I think I can speak for Alexa, too, especially after missing last year to (come back) and to return to the top of the podium is a great achievement," Frazier said. "More importantly for us of we've been reflecting a lot throughout the season on our personal journeys and our partnership.

 "The legacy behind that is incredible, and to be able to be the next is amazing. I wish I had done better, but it's still an amazing accomplishment. To come where I have in the last two Championships, I am so excited to see where my career can go."

The champion opened with a small mistake on an intended triple Lutz combination that seemed to fuel the southern California native to step up her level of intensity in the rest of the program.
