Teenage talent Kamila Valieva came out the first female skater to have completed quadruple jumps on an Olympic rink, delivering a quad Salchow, a combination of 4+3 Toeloop and a quad toeloop during her free skate to Bolero by Maurice Ravel.
The 15-year-old claimed a total segment score of 178.92 points to top the women's free skating standings, with seven jumps of a super high degree of difficulty, while all her spins and sequence were graded to the most, the fourth grade.
Having also placed first in the short program, Valieva thus added two full marks of 10 points to bring the ROC's winning score to 74 points.
