There was an unbreakable tie in 4th place standings in the pairs event, and so
Aliona Savchenko / Stanislav Morozov
of Ukraine both qualified in 4th position. There were no 5th place qualifiers in pairs, because that spot was left empty as a result of the tie for fourth. The two teams had tied exactly, down to the 7th tiebreaker. In later years, a different final tiebreaker was added, one which would have allowed for this tie to be broken.
