Ice dance has often been criticized for being garishly over the top, but Beijing Olympics competitors are helping move the sport forward
Using a form of street dancing called “waacking” as their inspiration and adapting it to their near-flawless technique, Papadakis and Cizeron broke their own world record with a score of 90.38 points. Reigning world champions Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov of the Russian Olympic Committee stood second with 88.85 points, followed by Americans, competing in their third Olympics together, were fourth with 84.14 points. Their score was reduced by Chock’s slip on a midline step sequence.
Evan Bates and Madison Chock compete in the ice dance-free dance team event the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games. “We had a wonderful time tonight. We really skated the way that we wanted to.
