David Peletier announced that he (Morosov) was retiring so that she (Volosozhar) could find another partner to medal (presumably because she can't with him, which I think is a fair assessment. He's extremely strong, though).
That's got to be tough considering the fact that they are a couple.
Incidentally, E/L got huge scores for their lifts. That made up the difference for the jump errors. They also got good PCS marks.
