BOSTON (AP) - Sixteen-year-old Evgenia Medvedeva of Russia capped a dominant debut season by winning a world championship with a record-setting free skate score.
 
Medvedeva earned 150.10 points Saturday to break Yuna Kim's record from the 2010 Olympics. She moved up from third after the short program to first to add to her Grand Prix Final and European titles.
 
American Ashley Wagner skated last and sent the home crowd into a frenzy with a personal-best score that moved her from fourth to second, the first U.S. woman in a decade to win a medal at worlds.
 
Another Russian teen, Anna Pogorilaya, won bronze.
 
American Gracie Gold, who led after the short program, fell on her opening triple-triple combination to drop to fourth.
