Chinese pair on top at Cup of China
BEIJING (AP) — Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo looked as if they'd never been away.
China's pre-eminent pair dominated in their first competition since retiring after winning the 2007 world title, finishing almost 10 points ahead of Ukraine's Tatiana Volosozhar and Stanislav Morozov in the short program at the Cup of China on Friday.
Shen and Zhao dazzled the judges in front of a roaring crowd. They've lost none of their athleticism — their triple twist was huge, and they did nice side-by-side triple toe loop jumps — and their passion could be felt throughout the arena.
Despite their big lead, Zhao said there were still some defects in their performance. They had some unison issues, particularly on their side-by-side spin.
"We are satisfied with today's performance and we felt the passion of the Chinese fans," he said. "But today is only the short program. I still feel that there are some areas of our performance that weren't the best, so there is potential for improvement."
Russia's Lubov Iliushechkina and Nodari Maisuradze are in third, less than half a point behind the Ukranians. World silver medalists Zhang Dan and Zhang Hao are in fourth. |
