Madison Hubbell and Zach Donohue had a tough act to follow on Monday in the final ice dance event, the free dance, but they were up to the task.
The duo had to beat out fellow Americans Madison Chock and Evan Bates to guarantee a podium spot after barely earning the higher score in the rhythm dance. They got it done to earn the bronze.
France’s Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron earned top placement with a score of 90.83. Close behind were ROC skaters Viktoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov (88.85), with Hubbell and Donohue less than two points out.
