"Savchenko and Szolkowy are very good skaters, and some other pairs from Canada, the US and Russia are also coming up very quickly," Yao added. "We have to work really hard to stay in the top class."
Though the Chinese are considered a force in pairs skating, they need to keep improving if they want a chance for gold in Vancouver, said Ren Hongguo, deputy president of the Chinese Skiing Association.
"The results of the World Grand Prix do not matter much. The important thing is that we must have better performances over the next two years," he said. "Zhang Dan and Zhang Hao need to improve their artistic performance, while Pang Qing and Tong Jian need to work on their level of difficulty."
Zhang Hao, who teamed with Zhang Dan to win the Changchun leg of the China Grand Prix over Pang/Tong on Monday, regretted his mistakes at the Grand Prix Finals in Turin.
"I have never made any mistake on an easy jump like that, I was really frustrated," he said. "If I did not make the mistake, maybe we would have a chance to win.
"But that's OK. We will work harder and our target is to win the Olympic gold medal."
Pang Qing and Tong Jian, who finished fourth at the Turin Games, also hope to win the Olympic gold medal.
"We have already tasted the world championship, our next objective is the Olympics," Tong Jian said. "We will try our best to stay in the top class in the next two years and then make our final sprint at the Olympic Games."
