Pairs, Free Skating
The Pairs event concluded with the Free Skating. China’s Qing Pang/Jian Tong captured the title, their teammates Dan Zhang/Hao Zhang took the silver and Maria Petrova/Alexei Tikhonov of Russia earned the bronze medal. Petrova/Tikhonov skated first in the final flight. The 2005 World silver medallists opened their inspiring performance to “The Four Seasons” with a triple toeloop-double flip sequence followed by a double Axel, a double twist and a beautiful throw triple loop and Salchow. The two-time European Champions completed difficult lifts and maintained good speed throughout the program. After they bowed to the audience, Tikhonov knelt down in front of his partner and kissed her hand. Petrova/Tikhonov were awarded 123.18 points (64.50 element score/58.68 program component score), slightly surpassing their previous personal best and accumulating a total score of 186.22 points. Next up were Valerie Marcoux/Craig Buntin of Canada, who delivered a nice routine to “Our Song” by Paul Kunigis, completing a throw triple loop and Salchow as well as strong lifts, but he touched down with his hand on the side by side triple toeloop and she stumbled out of the double Axel. The Canadian Champions earned a total of 181.09 points to finish fifth. Then it was the turn of Zhang/Zhang, who led after the Short Program. The Olympic silver medallists started strongly with a huge throw triple Salchow, a double Axel-triple toeloop combination and a triple twist into their program to “The Offspring of Dragons”. But they seemed to run of steam in the second half of their routine. After the throw triple loop, she doubled the side by side Salchow while he fell on a triple, and they lost speed in their footwork. Zhang/Zhang were awarded 120.84 points (64.39/57.45). They were ranked fourth in the Free Skating and slipped from first to second overall at 186.42 points, just edging Petrova/Tikhonov with 0.20 points for the silver. Pang/Tong had drawn to skate last. Performing to “The Phantom of the Opera”, the 2004 World bronze medallists hit the opening double Axel-double toeloop, but Pang fell hard on the toeloop (downgraded to a double). The Chinese recovered to land a triple twist and high throw triple Salchow as well as good lifts. The team awaited their marks anxiously in the “Kiss and Cry” area. They got 124.22 points (65.71/60.51), thus winning the Free Skating and pulling up from second to first with a total of 189.20 points. When the result was shown on the monitor, they jumped up in joy and waved to the crowd. Both Zhang/Zhang and Pang/Tong won their second medal at the World Championships while Petrova/Tikhonov now have a gold (2000), a silver (2005) and two bronze medals (2003 and 2006). “It was a good performance in spite of the mistake. We will continue to work hard”, Pang told the post-event press conference. “At the Grand Prix Final, we had a serious quarrel and thought about quitting. But then we communicated with each other and the (Chinese skating) Federation helped us and we worked very hard one month before the Olympic Games”, she revealed. “Today everyone skated well. We had a mistake, but all our other elements were very good”, Tong added. “My mind is still in the Kiss and Cry while we were waiting for our marks. I feel happiness. We stand on the top of the podium for the first time in this event. We belong to the medal contenders in each competition, but we weren’t always able to show our best. We can do much better in the future. Canada is a lucky place for us, each time we competed here we had good results”, he went on.
“We’re very happy that two Chinese couples won the gold and silver medals. We didn’t skate so well today, not as good as at the Olympic Games. We want to give our best in the future competitions”, Hao Zhang said. “We didn’t feel any pressure after the shor |
