Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier ended USA's long wait for a world figure skating title at the World Figure Skating Championships in Montpellier, but their victory was overshadowed by a nasty fall suffered by Ashley Cain-Gribble, who had to be wheeled off the ice after hitting her head on it. Cain-Gribble was responsive as she was escorted off the rink by medics.
Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier became the first American pair to win a world figure skating title since 1979. Knierim and Frazier posted the highest scores in the short program and free skate (221.09) to win by 21.54 points over Japanese pair Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara (199.55).
Canadian duo Vanessa James and Eric Radford had to settle for bronze (197.32).
But it was not all good news for American skaters as Ashley Cain-Gribble fell twice in her routine with partner Timothy LeDuc, meaning the pair had to withdraw.
Cain-Gribble and LeDuc, who were in second after the short program, were bidding to give USA their first one-two in any world's event since 1997.
However, it went badly wrong as Cain-Gribble fell while trying to produce a triple loop and a triple Salchow. She then had to be helped off the ice.
