Thanks for posting the links TanithandBenFan. Very interesting Q&As.

I knew Evan's achilles tendon was lacerated in 2010, but I didn't realize it was fully severed. That is a horrible injury. And to think he was dealing with a stress fracture in his back at the same time. It really is incredible that he was able to return to elite competition and do so well.

Both had very interesting answers!

A nice feature on their relationship.

I'm glad they've finally gone "official" with their off-ice relationship although it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who is paying even the slightest amount of attention.

Happy that Madison and Evan were invited to perform in the GPF gala. Here's a Japanese video of their arrival in Japan and their exhibition. Finally, some documentary evidence of how the chair gets to competitions. So far the chair has been to Florida, California, Washington state, China, France, and Japan. I'm a little envious of its jet-setting lifestyle.

I was always curious to see if they used the same chair at every performance!

Love how Japan gave the chair it's own broadcast

If you live in the USA and are interested in winning a trip to the winter Olympics, check out the link to the Old Navy TeamUSA sweepstakes on Madison's instagram. Madi and Evan are ambassadors for Old Navy, who will be sending a lucky fan see the games in Pyeongchang.

There are some nice Christmas pics posted on Madi and Evan's instagram accounts as well.

The chair will mark a milestone in the history of exhibition accessories , along with that ardent tango

I want Madison and Evan to win the nationals, I like the Shibutanis but I really feel that this year should be for Madison and Evan

Love the EX this year. (and the FD as well)

Baby Madison was so cute. This photo of preschool Madi in her Pochahontas costume is adorable. You have to swipe to see it.
