USA's Madison Chock and Evan Bates rose from second to defend their title in this event at Seoul, South Korea, at the Wakiki Mokdong Ice Rink on Friday afternoon. Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier of Canada also moved up one spot to capture the silver, while USA's Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue pocketed the bronze.
Chock and Bates gave a mesmerizing free dance (127.42 ) with their creative "Egyptian Snake Dance" routine, racking up positive grades of execution (GOE) in each element along the way. The lifts, twizzles, spin, and one-foot steps were all graded a level 4, however, the team took a one-point deduction for a fluke fall by Chock. Nevertheless, the defending champions defended their title with a new personal best total score of 213.18.
"I scared myself," said Chock of the slip. "Maybe I stepped on something. It was out of the blue and I was trying to catch myself!"
