You people really have to STOP nitpicking. It was a boring contest and they were the only bright spot. They were the only one's with good tecnnique overall and they have a magical connection. Stop pointing out minor errors.

[ShamusMacGuffin]

IMO, they are one of the greatest pairs of all time.

I think you're being unfair. I'm a huge fan of Russian figure skating too, but I think what S&Z have achieved is nothing short of phenomenal: when we first saw them, they were all about power and big skills, but in terms of artistry they were behind. Now they're arguably the most artistic pair in the world without having lost the huge jumps and throws. That deserves nothing but our admiration and our awe, also because it takes a lot of work to evolve artistically! And they've worked hard.

Y'know, it's weird, and I'm not sure that I could tell you exactly why, but I absolutely know that I'm never going to find a pair that I like as much as these two.

hihi would like to point out that zhao's triple toe is perfectly clean. The ice splash is from his landing foot, not his free leg.

We have watched Shen and Zhao grow over so many years, and I was delighted to see them take the gold in Vancouver. I, too, love Russian pairs, but Shen and Zhao have earned their place among the greatest pairs of all time. A great pair can have a wobble, then go on to triumph in a competitive program. Maybe that is what "great" means. S&Z grew over the years from having big tricks to mastering all the smaller things, and they became artists. And forged such a magical connection. Stellar.

the most georgeous 3Loop throw in a history

[violajean]

xue shen is so beautiful here, i love the opening moves

[BigdealXXIII]

One of the best pair ever together with the Protapopovs and Gordeeva-Grinkov.

[Falln4DarkAngel]

You can definitely tell they're a couple. They work together like they're one person

[AnnaPavlovaFan]

Yeah, the wobble on the lift was very uncharacteristic, but took nothing away of the beauty, the passion and the artistry of their performance. After they've won, I feel like there's justice in the world after all...

[ProjectRevolution]

absolutely. and after two years of retirement...they've come back to win olympic gold... Completely well deserved in my opinion, despite that hiccup on the lift in the long program. In my opinion, the amazing short program more than made up for it.
