Chinese pair Sui Wenjing and Han Cong leapfrogged compatriots Peng Cheng and Zhang Hao to bag a bronze medal in the ISU Grand Prix Final in Barcelona on Saturday.
Sui and Han finished fifth on 127.65 points in Saturday's free skate after a slightly flawed routine to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Francesca da Rimini.
Still the pair managed to find a spot on the podium thanks to their third finish in the short program.
Peng and Zhang wound up the fourth and another Chinese duo Yu Xiaoyu/Jin Yang ranked fifth.
Canadian pair Meagan Duhamel/Eric Radford won the pairs title and Ksenia Stolbova/Fedor Klimov of Russia took silver.
The men's competition saw Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu defend his ISU Grand Prix Final title despite a fall in the free skate in the elite six-skater event.
The 20-year-old Olympic and world champion led all the way to win with an overall total of 288.16 -- almost 35 points ahead of his Spanish training partner Javier Fernandez who took silver with 253.90.
Russia's Sergei Voronov took bronze with 244.53.
Teenager Elizaveta Tuktamysheva led a Russian one-two in the women's competition as the 17-year-old posted 203.58 to put Russia back on top of the women's podium for the first time in 10 years.
She took the gold ahead of 15-year-old Elena Radionova, with American Ashley Wagner, 23, moved up from last to third.
