Figure skating
The pairs event in figure skating captured sports headlines in China on Valentine's Day. Although the Russian pair captured the gold medal, the Chinese performances that earned the silver and bronze received significant praise from the media. China's Zhang Dan and Zhang Hao finished an almost flawless free skate after falling some 40 seconds into the program with a failed quadruple throw attempt. Many media outlets characterized the performance as the pinnacle of Chinese hard work and discipline. Sohu's official headline was "Pairs skaters capture silver, inspires world". Meanwhile, veteran Zhao Hongbo, who was nursing an ankle injury, and his partner Shen Xue finished on the podium after a slightly disappointing performance in the short program.
