It is the duo's second victory of the Games, following their success in the team tournament at the weekend.

Compatriots Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov made it a Russian 1-2, while Germany's Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy had to settle for third after they both fell during their long programme.

The result gives Russia their fifth win in the event in the last six Games.
