Americans Chock and Bates Take Silver in Dramatic Olympic Ice Dance Finish

Chock and Bates earned silver with a personal-best 224.39 points, narrowly edged by France's 225.82, after competing four times in six days at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

  • On Feb. 11, 2026, Madison Chock and Evan Bates won the silver medal in ice dance at the Winter Olympics in Milan, edged by France's Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron.
  • After 15 years together, Chock and Bates arrived in Milan for their fourth Olympics as a married couple, chasing their first individual Olympic medal after world titles and team success with Team USA.
  • They posted a season-best free dance and totaled 224.39 points, but Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron scored 225.82 to claim gold Wednesday.
  • After the medal ceremony, Chock and Bates said they were undecided about continuing, with Bates saying, `Immediately right now it's really hard to say what the career plans will be, but TBD`, while Chock called the silver 'bittersweet' yet expressed no regrets.
  • Judging and tiny point margins ultimately decided the podium, as Bates fell to his knees and the U.S. fans roared after their final skate, which tested their stamina over four performances in six days.
