may be they focus on big events, still nice to watch them, and hey - they are in QF - where is the #1 pair?
I think they will continue until the OG in 2012 and have another 2-3 months of brutal training before that - like 2009 before the AE. If they remain injury-free and can just up their game a tiny bit they'll be able to beat anyone. But the same is true for the Koreans, who have a clear age advantage...
But they very strong2 earlier in the year. Others found the formula to beat them? Or use up all energy already.
