Skaters from the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) team confirmed their pre-tournament status of favorites by winning the figure skating Team event, earning a second gold medal of the Beijing Games for their country.
Leading after the first two days of competition, the ROC team continued to dominate by winning two out of three events on Monday.
Russian figure skating bosses decided not to make any changes to personnel after the short programs, listing the same skaters – the team leaders – for the decisive free skates.
Reigning world and European champions Anastasia Mishina and Aleksandr Galliamov won the pairs free skate for the ROC despite suffering a fall at the end of their performance.
