The Olympic champions in Sochi already won many titles like the European Championship in 2011/12, 2012/13, 2013/14 and the World Championship in 2012/13.
Both live in Moscow. They are now part of history being the first pair to win two Gold medals in one Olympic Games and the first winning pair in their home country since 1936.
