World silver medalists Aljona Savchenko and Bruno Massot of Germany soared to victory setting a new record score in the Free Skating as the Pairs event wrapped up at the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final in Nagoya (JPN) Saturday. Reigning World Champions Sui Wenjing and Han Cong of China moved up one spot to take the silver medal, and Canada's two-time World Champions Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford pulled up from fourth to claim the bronze.

Skating to "La terre vue du ciel," Savchenko and Massot put out a spectacular performance, reeling off a huge triple twist, side by side triple Salchow-double toe-double toe, triple toe, a throw triple Lutz and amazing lifts. The only glitch was a shaky landing on the throw triple Salchow. The European silver medalists picked up a level four for six elements and scored 157.25 points for a total of 236.68 points. The Germans got five perfect 10.00s.

As usual, Sui and Han were brilliant as well in their "Turandot" routine. The 2017 Four Continents Champions opened with a quadruple twist and followed up with a triple toe-double, big throw triple flip and Salchow. They, too, earned a level four for their lifts, spins and death spiral. However, Han wobbled on the triple Salchow. The World Champions earned 155.07 points, just 0.03 points below their personal best, and accumulated 230.89 points overall.

Duhamel and Radford produced a triple twist, side by side triple Lutz, throw triple Lutz as well as two level-four lifts, but she fell on the throw quadruple Salchow, and the last lift was rated a level two. The Canadian Champions picked up 138.65 points which added up to 210.83 points overall.

The Chinese tandem of Zhang Hao and Yu Xiaoyu would end the competition in sixth place, with 207.14 points.
