"There has been a lot of thoughtful, and at times, emotional discussion about the ice dance competition in Milan, USFS CEO Matt Farrell's statement read. Working together with Madi and Evan after the Games, we will have thoughtful and intentional discussions about the best way to support them and the future of the sport. For now, we plan to join them in supporting the success of US Figure Skating in Milan."
"We felt like we delivered our absolute best performance that we could have, Chock said. It was our Olympic moment. It felt like a winning skate to us, and that's what we're going to hold on to."
Madison Chock and Evan Bates received the Olympic ice dance silver behind Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron amid disputed judging. US Figure Skating chose not to file an appeal after the 24-hour deadline passed and issued a statement promising post-Games discussions and support for the pair and the sport's future. Chock and Bates entered the free dance trailing by 0.46 points and delivered a near-perfect Paint It Black routine, yet scored 134.67 to the French 135.64 despite apparent mistakes by the French. The result prompted scrutiny over a French judge's scoring discrepancy.
