ROBIN Szolkowy proved his 32-year-old legs were still capable of out-performing his younger rivals as he and Aliona Savchenko captured their fourth figure skating world championship pairs title by the narrowest of margins on Friday. Szolkowy, the oldest skater to compete in Nice, France, and Savchenko managed to hold off Russians Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov by a slender 0.11 of a point after scoring 201.49 points. The Russians entered Friday's program trailing in eighth place but obliterated the opposition with a stirring free skate to eclipse the Germans by a huge margin of 8.04 points. Narumi Takahashi and Mervin Tran claimed Japan's first world pairs medal, the bronze, with 189.69 points.
