It also took Bruno Massot lifting her to the top step of the podium. Performing to music by Armand Amar, the German pair pranced and soared to a record 159.31 points in their free skate Thursday. That gave them 235.90 points, catapulting them from fourth place to fi rst and topping China’s Sui Wenjing and Han Cong by less than half a point. “We did New Year’s together,” the Ukraine-born Savchenko said, “and we said, ‘2018 will be our year,’ and it its. It’s just an amazing story, and I’m unbelievably happy.” Sui and Han, who led after the short program, made mistakes on their opening lift, a combination jump and side-by-side triple salchows. They recovered to skate a strong second half of the pro- gram, but the bobbles proved costly. They fi nished with 234.47 points, leaving them with a silver medal. Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford added bronze to the team gold they won with Canada, becoming the fi rst pair to land a quad throw in an Olympic competition. “We heard what the Germans did before us. We heard that score when we were on the ice,” Duhamel said. “We didn’t let it faze us. We said: ‘OK, good for them. Now it’s our turn.’” They skated well. But the Germans were simply superb. Savchenko stuck a huge triple twist lift to open their program, going so high that it seemed she would scrape the ceiling, and the couple was perfect on a throw triple fl ip. They followed with a gorgeous combination and a side-by-side triple toe in such perfect unison that it drew gasps from the crowd and a big cheer from German great Katarina Witt seated in the arena. When the music stopped, Savchenko lay on the ice gasping for Aljona Savchenko and Bruno Massot of Germany perform in the pairs free skate fi gure skating air.The performance was sweet vindication for the Germans, who fi nal in the Gangneung Ice Arena at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Gangneung, South Korea, were favored for gold after winning the Grand Prix Final but whose Th ursday, Feb. 15, 2018. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip) error on a jump in the short program left them playing catch-up. They caught up and fl ew right by. “We were two fi ghters,” said the French-born Massot. “We were on the ice for a medal, and for a gold medal, and we didn’t give up after what happened yesterday. We were ready for this.” The 34-year-old Savchenko’s road to Olympic gold included trips with Stanislav Morozov and Robin Szolkowy, with whom she won two bronze medals and fi ve world titles. But it wasn’t until she teamed with Massot four years ago that the groundwork was laid for her triumph in South Korea. After their fl awless performance, Savchenko and Massot had C M to wait anxiously as three more pairs took the ice. Duhamel and Y K Radford were solid, and Wenjing and Cong made things tight, but the gold medal was assured when Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov struggled. When the Russian pair’s scores were read, Massot enveloped Savchenko in a big hug. Then he lifted her — quite literally — onto the top step of the podium. “Yesterday was hard for me,” Massot said of his short program mistake, “but Aliona was here for me, to tell me it’s not fi nished: ‘We still have a very good free program. We have to show to everybody that this program is an Olympic program, a gold medal program.’”It was indeed. Earlier in the day, North Korea’s Ryom Tae Ok and Kim Ju Sik performed a season-best free skate to the delight of their orches- trated cheering section seated in the upper level of Gangneung Ice Arena. The couple fi nished 13th out of 16 teams to qualify for the free skate.“I was very nervous,” Kim said, “but when I heard the crowd cheer all the hardships melted away.” Alexa Scimeca-Knierim and Chris Knierim became the fi rst Aljona Savchenko and Bruno Massot of Germany react aft er their performance in the pairs free Americans to land a quad twist in an Olympic competition when skate fi gure skating fi nal in the Gangneung Ice Arena at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Gangneung, they opened their free skate with it.
