Yesterday German pairs figure skaters Aljona Savchenko and Bruno Massot had the routine of their lives, setting a world record in the process. That performance in the free skate secured the duo's first Olympic gold medal, edging out China's Sui Wenjing and Han Cong for the title. After winning, the team from Deutschland celebrated on the ice, and continued their festivities at Germany House with friends, family and teammates.
The Olympic champs greeted with a rousing ovation at the unofficial headquarters of the German squad, where they receive hugs from those in attendance, as they show off their medals. Then the pair relive their glorious routine that clinched the title, even taking in a German beverage. Then they went up and address the crowd gathered and explain how they got motivated for their big performance.
