Alena Leonova from Russia just won the 2009 World Junior Figure Skating Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria. What an exciting finish to the event -- Caroline Zhang from the United States, who was tenth after the short program, came roaring back to win the free skate and won the silver medal. Her teammate Ashley Wagner took the bronze medal. Georgia's Elene Gedevanishvili, who led after the short, couldn't maintain her momentum and finished sixth overall.
Results for the top 25 ladies are as follows. Note: SP=Short Program and FS=Free Skate
