The Russian duo were in a class of their own with a haunting routine inspired by horror films Surprisia and Sleepy Hollow.
They scored 98.900 points today - just 1.100 off perceived perfection - which, when added to their technical score, gave them a combined total of 197.100 out of a maximum 200.
Spain were second, 4.200 behind, having leapfrogged China in the battle for silver and bronze medals.
