Chinese figure skaters Sui Wenjing and Han Cong won back-to-back pairs free titles with 224.55 points in the International Skating Union (ISU) Italian Grand Prix on Saturday, following their victory in Canada a week ago. Another Chinese pair, Peng Cheng/Jin Yang, won the silver medal with 211.86 points.

Sui/Han completed a triple twist, triple toe-double toe-double toe, triple Salchow, and throw triple flip in their program to the melody of “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” The 2019 world champions had gone through a busy month as they had competed in three competitions in three cities. “It’s a hard month for us with three competitions and we had to change time zones several times,” said Sui.
