I beg to differ with each one of you on comparison with the Germans. The Germans out skated each and everyone of these PAIR skaters...There is no comparison, and like it or not, the judging has improved dramatically for these skating events. So stop hating on the Germans, they are the true champions!!!!!
The guy's technique on his double axel here is horrible. He spins off the ice rather than jumping off the ice. The girl is getting more height in her double axel!

Yes, a nice skate...but also formulaic and a little dull. Their spirals and synch spins were better than the Germans, granted. They also made many little errors.
Overall, Chinese pairs lack spark and energy. If you want to compete on a world level, you have to inject some individuality into the programs and let the women of your pairs be stronger.
Oh, and with the Chinese need to redeem themselves from the scandals of Beijing before they demand a seat at any other judging tables.
It is just pathetic that the all the judge on the ice nowadays still are european. and they just give the european skater a fantasic score and try to kick the chinsese out. No wpnder the scandel like saltlakecity will appear again. Stop the european judge, espacially from russia, and the Judgecrew should be from five continent.
@fangmich1022 We can complain about judging, under the old system, and under the new one. I agree that the Zhangs are superior to the Germans. Do you remember in Toriono 1996, Dan fell on quad attempt? She was injured, but they went on to skate well. She has so much courage. I hope they compete for many more years. I look forward to seeing more Chinese pairs. Bin Yao has helped to create a strong skating program. Many years, much hard work.
the judges are always biased for the cheat germas...i can believe the germans won with that low technically and presentation program.......this is far superior!!
robbed? She put her hand on ice on the triple toe and double the salchow
