Chinese duo Sui Wenjing and Han Cong came from third place after the short program and sealed the championship with a breathtaking performance during the free skating at the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships in Seoul Saturday.

It is their sixth champion title at the Four Continents tournament.

"Every time is special and different. It gives us more confidence, especially since we lost the short program," said the two-time world champion duo.

Skating to the emotional "Rain in Your Black Eyes," the pair started their performance with a flawless triple twist lift and amazed the crowd with a clean side-by-side triple toe loop-double toe loop-double toe loop combination.

They went on to produce a solid throw triple Salchow. However, when they attempted a side-by-side triple Salchow, Han Cong only doubled it, leaving the only blemish to their show.

With a clean throw triple flip, the pair ended their skating looking satisfied. They topped the free skating with 144.34 and racked up 217.51 points overall to seal the victory.
