2018–19 season

edit

Bell began the season at2018 CS Nebelhorn Trophy,where she placed fourth overall with a score of 188.97. She was invited to2018 Skate Canada International,where she placed fourth with a score of 190.25. In November, at2018 NHK Trophy,she placed fifth overall with a score of 198.96, the highest in her career. She won the bronze medal at the2018 CS Golden Spinafter placing fourth in the short program and third in the free program, earning 196.60 points.

At the2019 U.S. Championships,Bell underrotated the second part of her combination and placed third in the short program, behindBradie TennellandAlysa Liu.[19]She placed second in the free skate, behind Liu, winning the bronze medal overall, the second of her career. Because the 13-year-old Liu was ineligible for senior (or even junior) international competition, Bell joined silver medalist Tennell on the American team for the2019 World Championships,as well as the2019 Four Continents Championships.[20]

Bell placed third in the short program at Four Continents, setting a new personal best and winning a bronze small medal.[21]The free skate proved to be less successful, with a fall on a triple loop jump and a doubled Lutz, and she fell to sixth overall.[22]

Bell finished ninth at the2019 World Figure Skating Championshipswith a career-best total score of 208.07.[23]Bell's attendance at the World Championships became enmeshed in controversy when she was accused of deliberately causing an on-ice incident in which the blade of her free leg hit South Korean skaterLim Eun-sooduring a practice session, causing a cut on Lim's calf.[24]Lim's agency, All That Sports, stated to Agence-France Presse that the incident had been intentional and part of a pattern of bullying by Bell.[25]Upon request from the Korean Skating Federation, the International Skating Union conducted an investigation. On March 21, the ISU stated that it found no evidence that Bell had sought to injure Lim intentionally.[26]Rafael Arutyunyan,who coached both Bell and Lim, denied the allegations: "The thing is that Mariah’s program includes an element where she lays her leg back and stretches it. This is how it happened that she touched Lim’s leg with her blade. Of course, it was not deliberately! There has never been any confrontation between them at training sessions."[27]Bell later said: "The whole experience was really bizarre, and it just felt like I was drowning in this nightmare of completely false information that was put out there that I couldn't do anything about."[28]

Bell concluded her season as part of the gold medal-winning Team USA at the2019 World Team Trophy.[29]

2019–20 season

edit

Having already hadAdam Ripponcollaborate as a choreographer the previous season, Bell added Rippon as part of her coaching team in addition to having him again choreograph her short program, this time toBritney Spearsmusic on Rippon's recommendation.[30]Starting her season on theChallenger seriesat the2019 CS Nebelhorn Trophy,Bell placed first in both segments to win the event, her first international gold medal.[31]

For her firstGrand Prixassignment, Bell competed at the2019 Internationaux de France,placing third in the short program with only an unclear edge warning on her triple flip.[32]In the free skate, Bell underrotated a triple Lutz but otherwise landed all jumps cleanly and placed second in the segment, edging out reigningWorldandOlympicchampionAlina Zagitova.She was third overall, behindAlena Kostornaiaand Zagitova, taking her second Grand Prix medal. Bell said she was "proud of how this competition went."[33]Competing next at the2019 Rostelecom Cup,Bell placed third in the short program despite falling on her jump combination.[34]She was also third in the free skate, winning another bronze medal.[35]

Bell placed third in the short program at the2020 U.S. Championshipswhen, after landing her jumps successfully, she fell in her step sequence. She remarked after, "today, maybe I felt a little too good."[36]Placing second in the free skate with no errors other than an underrotated triple Lutz, Bell won the silver medal and was the highest-finishing medalist eligible for senior international competition, the gold medal going again toAlysa Liu.Her free skate received a standing ovation, which she called "a very special feeling. I hadn’t had that before in my career."[37]Bell subsequently eschewed attending theFour Continents ChampionshipsinSeoul,looking ahead to the2020 World ChampionshipsinMontreal,but these events were canceled as a result of thecoronavirus pandemic.[38]

2020–21 season

edit

After spending months off the ice in the midst of the pandemic, Bell resumed training in June 2020, stating that she hoped to use the time to work on developing atriple Axel,which she described as having "always been something that I believe that I can do."[38]She competed at the first opportunity of the ISP Points Challenge, a virtual U.S. domestic competition, winning both segments of the competition, despite only doing one jump combination in the free skate. It was announced that she would be a virtual guest skater at theJapan Open.[39]

Bell was assigned to compete at the2020 Skate Americaevent on theGrand Prix circuit,the ISU having made assignments based on training location due to the pandemic.[40]Bell won the short program with a clean skate, more than three points ahead ofBradie Tennellin second place.[41]This would prove decisive, as she placed fourth in the free skate after falling on an underrotated triple Lutz and only attempting six triple jumps, but her short program score was sufficient to retain the overall lead and win her first Grand Prix gold medal.[42]

Bell's success at Skate America and the prior season's national championships lead many to identify her as the favorite going into the2021 U.S. Championships,particularly with defending champion Liu struggling with growth-related jumping limitations.[43][44]She unexpectedly placed third in the short program after underrotating her triple Lutz and called it a disappointment.[45]Bell struggled in the free skate, falling on a triple flip and making several other jump errors; as a result, she placed fifth in that segment and dropped to fifth place overall.[46]

2021–22 season

edit

Heading into the Olympic season, Bell prepared new programs for the occasion. For the short program, she recruitedRuPaul's Drag RacecontestantCordero Zuckermanto work withAdam Ripponon a stylistic homage tovogueset to the music ofLady Gaga.Her free skate toJoni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now",music Bell had considered using before, was meant to reflect the highs and lows of her career:" Skating to 'Hallelujah' at nationals was an incredible feeling — but I can still know what it was like the following year, to get off the ice and see myself in fifth. "[47]However, following her bronze medal showing at theSkating Club of Boston'sCranberry Cupinternational event and feedback from American officials, she subsequently dropped both programs, reviving her "Hallelujah" program and creating a new short program.[48]

Bell's twoGrand Prixassignments were the final two events of the series, starting with the2021 Internationaux de France,where she placed sixth. She was tenth in the short program and fourth in the free skate.[49]At her second event the following week, the2021 Rostelecom Cup,Bell was third in the short program despite not landing a triple-triple combination, dropping to fourth after the free skate. She said, "technical content is a little bit lower right now, but I plan to put the triple-triple back in later during the season."[50]

Bell entered the2022 U.S. Championshipsas a contender for both the title and theAmerican Olympic team.Frequent rivalBradie Tennellwithdrew in advance due to injury. Bell won the short program, narrowly ahead ofKaren Chen,whileAlysa Liuwas further back in third and withdrew before the free skate due to testing positive forCOVID-19.Bell won the free skate as well, taking her first national title.[51]The following day, she was named to the Olympic team, along with Chen and Liu.[52]At 25, Bell became the oldest U.S. women's champion sinceBeatrix Loughranin 1927, and also the oldest American women's singles skater sent to the Olympics since Loughran in1928.[53]

Competing at the2022 Winter Olympicsin thewomen's event,Bell fell on her opening triple-triple combination attempt but nevertheless qualified for the free skate in eleventh position.[54]She moved up one place in the free skate to finish tenth overall.[55]

Days after the Olympics concluded,Vladimir Putinordered aninvasion of Ukraine,as a result of which theInternational Skating Unionbanned all Russian and Belarusian skaters from competing at the2022 World Championships.This had a major impact on the women's field, dominated by Russians for most of the preceding eight years, and Bell entered the event as a podium contender.[56]She finished third in the short program with a new personal best score of 72.55, taking a bronze small medal, the first for an American at the World Championships sinceAshley Wagnerin2016.[57]In the free skate, Bell struggled on both of her triple Lutzes in the second half of the program, underrotating one of them. She dropped from third to fourth overall, behind Liu.[58][59]

Retirement

edit

On October 12, 2022, Bell announced onInstagramthat she was retiring from competitive figure skating and said she would continue performing at ice shows.[60]She participated in the Japan Open later that fall, finishing sixth among the six female competitors and winning silver with Team North America.[61]
