Oh man. Watching Andrea talking to C/B and seeing them show legit disappointment while keeping it every bit as first-class as you'd expect... 😥

“We've had an incredible career, and we've been so well supported by our families and our coaches and by each other,” Chock said. “Sometimes that's just how it shakes out. This is the story for us, and I wouldn’t change anything.”

Nice move bringing this back for Olympic ice; such a strong program and Carriera/Ponomarenko deliver the performance on top
Perfume is by far the most STORY of any ice dance program this year. The way it gradually grows more and more sinister every time Anthony touches Christina until even normal dance holds make your skin crawl. It's incredible. #MilanoCortina2026

Level 3 on pattern step. What is up with this? I’d love to rewind and compare differences between FBC, Chock/Bates and what was different from team event #IceDance #MilanoCortina2026

Lopraeva/Brissaud came to play! That is the best French RD. So much energy, take up the whole ice, use whole body to create moves - not just vogue arms. #IceDance #MilanoCortina2026

Reed/Ambrulevicious 🇱🇹 I can’t believe a Too Sexy program works, but this one certainly does. I think they for it just the right about of camp+seriousness, they don’t overdo the cheese or silly sexiness to make it weird but also keep it quirky. Great focus on beat and rhythm throughout.
