Since 1964, Russia has been winning the gold for pair figure skating, giving them a total of 12 gold medals. But not this time.
China's Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo managed to swipe the gold away from the reigning champions with a score of 216.57. After a not-so-impressive performance, the Russian team of Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov ended up in fourth place, which means that not only their time at the top is over, but their medal run in general.
Another Chinese couple, Pang Qing and Tong Jian, took the silver with 213.31 points. Two-time world champions Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy from Germany took the bronze, with 210.60 points.
