For the free program, the Austrians chose the highest level of difficulty with 41.0500 points. Thanks to clean and precise execution, they received 255.4583 points and were very thin ahead of the Chinese Wang Liuyi/Wang Qianyi (255.2480). Bronze went to Japan’s Moe Higa/Mashiro Yasunaga (249.5167).

After finishing fifth in the technical freestyle, 25-year-old Anna-Maria and Eirini-Marina were very disappointed. “We worked very hard for it and have the level for it. Now we’re dying for revenge,” they said before their second competition. With 251.4313 points, they had already shown the best performance of all participants in the preliminaries.

It is also the third precious metal in Japan for the family classification, after all, the sister of the triplets Vasiliki had previously won two silver medals in the solo competitions.

In June, Anna-Maria and Eirini-Marina Alexandri won two gold medals at the European Games in Poland and captured a quota spot for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. However, success in Japan is the greatest of her career. At the World Championships in Budapest 2022 they had managed a bronze double pack.
