thanks a.some details:
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado: Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo went a little long on their program but that was virtually the only mistake they made in their free skate as they wrapped up the pairs title at Four Continents on Thursday.
"It felt good today," Shen said. "I'm very happy."
After their winning performance, Shen flashed a huge smile and gave a little fist pump. She then high-fived Zhao.
The Chinese pair drew a standing ovation. Even their coach, the usually stoic Bin Yao, cracked a smile.
World champions Pang Qing and Tong Jian finished second and defending Four Continents champions Rena Inoue and John Baldwin finished third.
"I am very satisfied with our performance," Pang said. "All of our practice, so far, has only added up to about two months (due to injuries). We haven't been able to train as much as we would have liked. We hope next season will be better and smoother." |
