After free skating, the four-time world champions and two-time Olympic bronze medalists gained total points of 224.88, including 79.02 from Wednesday's short program, for the fifth time claiming the world title, Xinhua reports.

"I'm pleased. It was definitely a good program, maybe even very good," said Szolkowy after the free skating, adding it feels great to be a champion, Xinhua reports. On the feeling of winning the fifth world title, Savchenko said that "it is hard to say, because I hardly can believe it. It is over now and that is so weird. The day was so long. To be honest, I felt I was skating in an exhibition gala." Russian couple Ksenia Stolbova/Fedor Klimov, Olympic silver medalists, scored 215.92 points totally and was followed by Canadian Meagan Duhamel/Eric Radford with total points of 210.84. Stolbova said they did everything they can do and she thought it is great that they skated that way. "We knew it won't be easy (to win) and we came here with the goal to skate clean." The Canadians satisfied with their skate although have a tiny mistake. "We are very happy with our skate. We had a little mistake but we really kept it together, fought really hard, and managed to finish the program strongly," said Radford. Two Chinese pairs, Peng Cheng/Zhang Hao and Sui Wenjing/Han Cong, followed the Canadian pair of Kirsten Moore-Towers/Dylan Moscovitch ranked the fourth with 205.52 points, ranked the fifth and sixth with 194.83 and 192.10 points respectively. Sui, who made three big mistakes during the free skating, said they did not skate well and could not show their best. "I felt the pressure to skate at the end and I am disappointed that it did not go well today with our free program."
