In regards to their performance, White said, “That in itself justified 17 years of hard work.”

The duo holds one medal from each level after winning bronze in the brand new team event this year in Sochi.



It looks as though Ilinykh and Katsalapov will be a formidable duo for some time since she is 19 and he is 22. They finished ninth at the world championships last year, but go home with a medal from the Winter Olympics this year.
