Pairs: 2007 World Bronze medallists and winners of the Grand Prix Final, Aliona Savchenko / Robin Szolkowy from Germany will probably be the pairs to beat in Gothenburg but the best two Chinese couples, Dan Zhang / Hao Zhang (2006 Olympic silver medallists) and Qing Pang / Jian Tong (2006 World Champions), will be very close. Behind the top 3, skaters eager to grab a medal will be Jessica Dube / Bryce Davison (Canada), Yuko Kawaguchi / Alexander Smirnov (Russia) and Keauna McLaughlin / Rockne Brubaker (USA).
