Which pair won figure skating pairs gold at Beijing 2022? Sui Wenjing and Han Cong of China won the gold medal.

The Chinese pair won the Olympic title at Beijing’s Capital Indoor Stadium on February 19, 2022. Their total score was 239.88 points. Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov of the Russian Olympic Committee took silver, while Anastasia Mishina and Aleksandr Galliamov won bronze.

Sui and Han entered the competition with a powerful personal and sporting storyline. They had won silver at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics after leading the short program but falling behind during the free skate. In Beijing, they again faced strong Russian challengers, but finished first in both the free skate and the overall competition.

Their performance also set world records in the pairs short program and total score. The pair became especially noted for their difficult elements, including a quadruple twist lift in the free skate. A common mix-up is to confuse the pairs event with the team event, where China’s pair was not the gold-medal-winning team.
