Observe as a 13-year-old claims victory during that particular instance.

The National Spelling Bee championship was won by accurately spelling a 15-letter word.
Faizan Zaki from Texas was presented with the French-originated term ‘éclaircissement,’ which means clarification, to pronounce during the finals of the Scripps National Spelling Bee on Thursday (29th May).
Following the act of mimicking the typing of each character on a non-existent keypad, the delighted 13-year-old dropped to his knees upon being announced as the victor.
Zaki, who claims the $52,500 (£38,976) award, finished in second place last year at the contest after faltering during a rapid-fire tiebreaker round.
