Pairs
There are 3 World Championship teams competing in the pairs event.
The 2006 World Champions, Pang & Tong (CHN), may be the team to beat. Their improved performance skills have earned them great results this year. Wins at the Grand Prix final and the Four Continents have established them as front runners.
The German team of Savchenko and Szolkowy are the defending World Champions. After a third place finish at the Grand Prix final this team bounced back to win their third straight European title. This unique team is sure to be in the mix.
Zhang and Zhang (CHN) also hope to be in the mix. One of the must athletic teams in the world are hoping to bounce back from a disappointing 3rd place finish at the Four Continents. This team must be clean to make up for their artistic short comings.
Jessica Dube and Bryce Davison (CAN) should not be counted out. Last year's bronze medalists missed qualifying for the Grand Prix final but had a strong 2nd place showing at the Four Continents beating the Zhangs. A clean short program and a much improved triple twist could keep them in the hunt for the podium.
Medal Picks:
Gold: Pang & Tong (CHN)
Silver: Savchenko & Szolkowy (GER)
Bronze: Dube & Davison (CAN)
