While they weren’t flawless China’s Zhao Hongbo and Shen Xue were good enough to complete a story 18 years in the making as the husband and wife captured gold in the figure skating pairs at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Zhao and Shen entered the long program with a comfortable lead and after spills from their closest competitors they managed to hold off the best skaters of the night, Pang Qing and Tong Jian, who jumped from fourth place to grab silver, making it a one-two finish for China.
Germany’s Robin Szolkowy and Aliona Savchenko entered the long program with a shot at gold but a series of miscues left then with bronze.
