Olympic title so for Volosozhar / Trankov, born from the couple splits with their previous partners and their own at the end of 2010 after the Vancouver Games, with the express purpose of grabbing the'' gold at the Olympics in Russia. After a short program by the book, the pair of Nina Mozer unable to complete the clean performance sometimes not in season. No doubt on the technical elements, all worthy of very positive grades of execution, in particular the triple twist that in addition to being a level 4 worth two points on the GoE. Do not betray the jumps in parallel (triple salchow and triple toe loop-double toe loop combination) as well as launched (triple loop and Salchow), level 4 all the other elements. Burst of joy the two partners at the end of the program, venting their reactions in the pressure of an entire nation''.
Silver clamorous for Stolbova / Klimov, protagonists of an amazing artistic and technical progress throughout the course of the current season, which culminated with a performance at the Olympic Games unexceptionable own home. Very good the cast, including one at the end of the program (before then flip and Salchow), even for their high levels of performance and excellent progression on the components of the program, for a disk built wisely and with character. '' The coach Nina Mozer square so his second pair on the podium and take home in one shot a gold and a silver Olympic by his students.
Movies already seen for Savchenko / Szolkowy, that I end up in tears with a performance so much regret. Beyond'' s initial error more serious than the sequence of two triple toe loop where Robin falls, then that leaves you flabbergasted to say the least is the insane choice to make the final launched triple axel, a jump designed in the German couple from the groped for their all out assault'' in Russian rivals. An assault, however, possible only in the presence of a clean performance from beginning to end with'' an element which, when completed at the best, would not be enough to reach the'' gold also because of the previous error Szolkowy. The duo of Chemnitz, however, decided a few seconds from the end of the program groped the hard axel instead of the more simple salchow jump that Aliona though not complete, falling. A true gift to Stolbova / Klimov for which comes an unexpected silver despair for the Germans who do not improve the result, however excellent in Vancouver.
