Quite a little upset in the pairs event at TEB with Russian pair Maria Mukhortova and Maxim Trankov getting it winning. It appears this may have been as much because of a complete Savchenko and Szolkowy meltdown as because the Russian pair was able to get it together, finally; I haven't watched yet but the Germans came in fourth place in the free skate and had two deductions. They won third, while Canadians Jessica Dube and Bryce Davison snagged silver.
