Chock and Bates: A Golden Return to the Olympic Ice in Italy

Madison Chock and Evan Bates are gearing up for their return to the Olympic ice in Italy. The duo, who hails from California and Michigan, respectively, have been a force to be reckoned with in ice dance since their impressive fourth-place finish at the Beijing Games in 2022. They recently clinched their seventh U.S. figure skating title, showcasing their prowess on the ice.

Chock and Bates have been skating together since 2011 and took their partnership to the next level when they started dating in 2017. The couple tied the knot in 2024 and are now eyeing the gold medal in ice dance as they perform to The Rolling Stones' "Paint it Black" from "Westworld."

The dynamic duo will be competing in the rhythm dance team event, as well as the rhythm and free dance events at the upcoming Milan Cortina Olympics. Fans can catch all the action on NBC, Peacock, USA, and NBCOlympics.com.

Having made their Olympic debut at the 2014 Sochi Winter Games, where they finished eighth overall, Chock and Bates have steadily climbed the ranks. They placed ninth at the 2018 PyeongChang games and narrowly missed the podium with a fourth-place finish in the individual ice dance category at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

Despite facing stiff competition, Chock and Bates have consistently delivered stellar performances on the ice, showcasing their skill and artistry. As they gear up for their Olympic events, fans can expect to witness a captivating display of talent and passion from this dynamic duo.
