It's interesting, looking at the top 4 pairs, it's the older, more experienced pairs (Germans 34 and 29; and Canadians 33 and 32) who kept a cool head and improved their scores in the final free skate. The younger, more inexperienced pairs - the Chinese & the Russians (all in their early 20s) - started off stronger, but cracked a bit under the big Olympic pressure in the final, and lost the advantage points they built up in their starter short program.
This shows that sometimes veteran experience & cool-head maturity wins in the final leg over novice inexperience & youthful emotions, frayed nerves.
