With Shen & Zhao's win last night, the Soviet/Russian gold streak has ended. I think the Russian dominance in pairs is probably one of the greatest sports dynastys ever. Forty years on top came to an end last night without even a thank you bronze. The highest placing Russian team came in 4th.
Shen & Zhao were brilliant even with some small mistakes. They shone with the brilliance of 18 years of skating together. That's enough sweat equity to cash out into gold.
