Chinese figure skaters Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo rolled back the years to win China's first gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics on Monday. Their victory came as a fairytale ending to a story that seems more like a Hollywood movie than real life. The veteran husband and wife duo were lured 1 out of retirement 2 for one last crack at Olympic gold, having previously 3 won bronze medals in the 2002 and 2006 Winter Games. At the age of 36 and 31 respectively Zhao Hongbo and Shen Xue defied sporting convention by overcoming the figure-skating world's young whippersnappers. Ordinarily at such an age the married couple should not be competing in international events let alone bringing home Olympic gold.
