Review-

In the short program, Elena and Anton skated fairly well to take second place behind Marina Eltsova and Andrei Bushkov. In the long program, they completed clean side-by-side double axels, throw triple loop, throw triple salchow, and a triple twist. The only error was a fall on the side-by-side triple toe loops by Anton. The pair placed second overall.

Final Standings-

1. Marina Eltsova and Andrei Bushkov
2. Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze
3. Oksana Kazakova and Artur Dmitriev
4. Shishkova and Naumov
