Winning the second time was harder and it was a team effort,” Sui commented. Overnight leaders Tarasova/Morozov turned in a strong performance to “Winter” by Balmorhea that featured a big triple twist, throw triple loop and Salchow as well as spectacular lifts.

Volosozhar/Trankov’s performance to “Waltz Masquerade” by Aram Khatchaturian featured a big triple twist, side by side triple toeloop and a throw triple loop. The reigning European and World Champions earned a level four for the twist, the death spiral, reverse lasso lift and footwork to slightly surpass their previous personal best and own record score with now 83.98 points. “Today we skated quite well. We were nervous as we skated towards the end, next to last and the tension was high. But we were able to deal with it and skated with a good mood. In the step sequence we wanted to give everything and to go for a seasons best score, and we did it, we broke our own record. We have improved the choreography”, Trankov told the press.
