This was a good year to take that rest. They over competed last season to carry China with S/Z's retirement and Z/Z injury. They can start building a momentum next season into Sochi. Presently they are putting off their wedding to focus on the skating.
They may medal here with S/S being the biggest challenger left without a big deficit and T/T being inconsistent.
I agree..this was the year to rest if they want to go for Sochi.
