In pairs, Germany's Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy were not perfect but suitably impressive to be in the lead by a few points. They are trailed by Russia's Vera Bazarova and Yuri Larionov, who had a lovely performance. Germany's Hausch and Wende are in good standing for the bronze medal.

In the ladies competition, Alissa Czisny's short program mistake and recovery were eerily similar to her Skate Canada performance. She is still in contention for a medal. But Finland's jewel Kiira Korpi is out in front by a good number of points.
