In the gold medal list, the Chinese legion continued to set a new record in history, ranking third with 9 gold, 4 silver and 2 bronze, second only to Norway's 15 gold and Germany's 11 gold.
The Beijing Winter Olympics will enter the last competition day tomorrow, with only 5 gold medals left, for the Chinese delegation, figure skating pair skating is the last gold point, so today the whole country will focus on the Capital Gymnasium, looking forward to the "onion barrel" combination can achieve a perfect ending.

In today's free skating competition, the biggest attraction is still the final contest between China and Russia, when Peng Cheng and Jin Yang ended perfectly, achieving 214.84 points, ranking first among all the players who have already appeared, the remaining suspense is the PK of three pairs of Russian players and Sui Wenjing/Han Cong. Sure enough, the three pairs of Russian players all performed steadily, all of them in the top three, leaving all the pressure to the "onion barrel" that finally appeared. With everyone's expectations, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong perfectly performed a piece of action, including several difficult weekly jumps, almost without mistakes and flaws. In the end, the two free skated to score 155.47 points, still the first place, and in terms of total points, they also overwhelmed the three Russian combinations with 239.88 points and won the championship strongly.
