Chock/Bates really said "But what if we made a program that reflects skipping songs on your Spotify playlists"

Skate America Ice Dance RD Recap: IAM WTF

We, nearly inevitably, have an all-IAM podium after the RD and I am over the IAM-ification of ice dance. There are 11 music cuts in Chock & Bates' program. 11! It feels like someone scanning an AM radio band to hear every single Oldies station in existence.

The choreo is as frantic as the music, which is one jazz hand away from choking on its own mediocrity.

These are the reigning world ice dance champions. What is happening to their feet? Please, someone, I beg, explain why we have an abundance of two foot skating and half-hearted kick steps in elite choreography. It's giving Exhausted Dinner Theatre Understudy.

Meanwhile, Fear and Gibson are out here parodying themselves by using a throwback disco cut that only serves to remind us of their superior '18-19 disco free dance. Also, why are we putting anyone in costumes that look like the upholstery from at 1979 Buick?

I'm not going to dignify Davis & Smolkin with a gif. Champions of nepotism and benefiting from the IAM gleam. Eteri's lacquered claws have a long reach.

A little Throwback Thursday™ to the 2019 Four Continents ice dance podium. Everyone was surprised and delighted to be there and looks like they're accidentally celebrating Hubbell & Donohue's invalidated lift score. This is among my favourites from all the gifs I've ever made! It's also the first one that went really wide on T*itter and made me the fs gif-maker I am today. Thanks accidental podium cinema!

Madi and Evan were interviewed on NBC, and while they didn’t confirm anything, Madi definitely sounds like she wants to go for the next Olympics

Madison Chock and Evan Bates skating to selections from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon for their free dance at the 2024 World Championships.

Here is Chock's explanation of the costumes, which she designed with Mathieu Caron:

I was inspired by Salvador Dali’s iconic painting “The Persistence of Memory”. I love the distorted surrealism in the painting. It reminds me that time is a concept we have created and can often be a heavy burden on the human mind until you realize the only time is now. Our program is about liberating yourself from the construct of time and using your time to be present and celebrate the beauty of living in the moment. My dress is meant to look like a melting clock, with the numbers all around melting off the clock, showing that time does not conform to a fixed idea. I also have arrows on my arms to represent the hands of time which are always moving forward. Evan’s costume is a representation of the human life, the white stripe representing his timeline and the stones representing meaningful memories. The black stripe on his other arm represents the afterlife.
