Chock/Bates: 'Felt like best performance'

[gsk8]

Skating to “Bad to the Bone” and “Uptown Funk,” teammates Madison Chock and Evan Bates performed their short dance with spunk to finish fourth with a personal best score of 76.25. Highlights to the Americans’ routine included their level-four curve lift and Chock’s tiger-like presentation.


“Everything can always be better, but it felt amazing out there today,” said Chock. “This definitely felt like our best performance of the season and we’re very excited. The crowd was fantastic and we skated with a lot of energy.”

I agree that this was the best performance of their short dance this season. But their free dance is even stronger. IMHO the bronze is within their grasp.

A terrific skate from Madi and Evan. Best of luck to them in the FD. I would love to see them on the podium.
