CHOCK / BATES (USA) | Ice Dance Free Dance | ISU World Team Trophy | Tokyo 2025
These two will be looking to emulate the performance that they gave yesterday in the rhythm dance.
They were just sensational.
And if they can get this right, this is a wonderful program.
The music from Dave Brubeck and the band, Take 5.
This is a game from Madison Chock and Evan Bates.
Just flawless, wasn't it?
Well, they've done it again. Two back-to-back brilliant performances from Madison Chock and Evan Bates.
Three-time world champions.
And they've come out here and they've delivered again.
A performance of the highest class.
Got their personal best score in the World Team Trophy two years ago, 138.41.
That was a huge score then.
Just love the concept of that program.
And I feel like the program's got better and better as the season's gone on.
That's how it should be.
This team love to perform.
And it's so evident in every move that they do.
They're finishing everything off.
The transitions between one move to the next.
They're as smooth as silk.
Technically brilliant.
Just looking down the twizzles, both getting level fours.
Just the one-foot turn sequence.
Evan getting a three for that.
Wonderful shots.
So could it be another 12 points here?
Team leader Jason Brown leading the choreography.
How do they come up with this?
OK, it's the season's best score, 133.51.
That's the way to finish the season.
So Madison Chock and Evan Bates get that valuable 12 points.
In the free dance here.
Piper Gillis and Paul Poirier, 11 points in second.
And 10 points go to Team Italy.
