Sui & Han win second World Jr title.


The Talented chinese pair made a splash on the senior scene this year, although in the wake of the recent age scandal surrounding the ages of chinese skaters, this is likely to be the highest honour they will take this season. If the reports are true, Wenjing Sui was not age eligible to compete at last years junior worlds or senior grand prix season.

That said, the pair dominated here, winning gold by a clear 8 points. Bronze medallists Takahashi & Tran will have to quickly pack their bags and get back on the ice. They compete at the senior world championships in their home country in 2 weeks time.
