Gabrielle Daleman of Canada performed her provocative free skate choreographed to “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin by opening with a gargantuan triple toe loop-triple toe loop followed by five other triple jumps. The Four Continents silver medalist’s only mistake came on a step out of a double Axel. The performance earned her a bronze medal with a free skate score of 141.33 and a total combined score of 213.52.
“I just did what I do every day, taking one element at a time and I absolutely said to myself, ‘You can do this,'” said the 19-year-old. “I skated with so much love and heart and just pulled it off. I have worked so hard for this. I’ve dreamed of being a World medalist for so many years and this year I finally believed in myself. I told myself that I could do it, I trusted myself.”
