Madison Chock and Evan Bates have become so dominant in ice dance that not even a sudden illness could stop them Saturday, Jan 27.
Two days after they began developing flu-like symptoms, the longtime figure skating partners took to the ice and laid down a free dance at the U.S. championships that was good enough for gold. Chock and Bates scored 215.92 points to easily outdistance Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko for their third straight title and fifth overall.
