Time glides when you're having fun. The usual pièce de résistance of any Winter Olympic Games, women's figure skating, gets underway at last Feb. 15, with Karen Chen, Mariah Bell and Alysa Liu taking the ice in hopes of securing a medal for the United States in this event for the first time since 2006. So far Team USA has had a fairly dazzling showing at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, with 22-year-old powerhouse Nathan Chen earning the highest-ever men's score for his short program on his way to winning gold last week, the U.S. earning silver in the team event and the ice dancing pair of Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donahue adding bronze medals...

After two exciting nights of competition — including a wardrobe malfunction that made headlines worldwide — the best ice dancing team has been revealed.
Canada’s Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir took home the gold medal in the second and final night of the Olympic ice dancing competition Tuesday morning (Monday evening stateside). It’s a second win for the duo, who were also triumphant at the 2010 Olympics, but were edged out of gold in 2014 by U.S. skaters Meryl Davis and Charlie White.
Virtue and Moir also made history with a world-record overall score of 206.07.

Twizzle me this: Is it hot in here, or is it just Olympic ice dancing’s free dance?
The Olympic ice dancing long-form competition took place Monday night at Gangeung Ice Arena in PyeongChang, following Sunday’s short program, a Latin-themed affair dominated by Canadian sex-on-blades partners Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. That evening ended with Virtue and Moir in first place, followed by France’s Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron in second and the United States of America’s Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue in third.

American ice dancers Evan Bates and Madison Chock skated to a season’s best on Monday (Sunday night stateside) in their first routine at the 2018 Winter Olympics, ending in seventh place to advance to the event’s second half on Tuesday.
It was, all things considered, an energetic performance to be proud of, Bates later told reporters — in addition to everything else because Chock has for months been dealing with a foot injury that flared up again during their warmup, minutes before they took the ice.
“We just had a weird moment” when Bates was lifting Chock, she said afterward.

American ice dancing siblings Alex and Maia Shibutani met with a group of journalists on Monday after completing their short dance in the 2018 Winter Olympics — earning scores good enough to send them to the competition’s second half, though not quite strong enough to break into the top three — and there they discussed their performance on the ice and their relationship with one another.
At the very end of answering questions, however, they didn’t walk away without an update on a recent viral social media request:

Madison Hubbell and Zach Donohue may be the picture perfect ice dancing duo now, but the athletes haven’t always been a friendly team.
Hubbell and Donohue — who are competing in the 2018 Winter Olympics — told People prior to arriving in Pyeongchang, South Koream, that before they dominated the ice together, they were fierce competitors.
“We were both competitors against each other and we hated each other,” Hubbell says. “Our mutual coach at the time kind of forced us to start skating together just to kill time. We didn’t really want to skate together. It was fate.”
