Chock and Bates say their near-perfect skate felt like a win, even if silver left fans 'confused'‎

U.S. ice dancers Madison Chock and Evan Bates didn’t conceal their disappointment Thursday at the bittersweet Olympic silver medal for what Bates called their “absolute best performance,” while Chock said the confusion over the result “does a disservice to our sport.” During Wednesday night’s free dance at the Milan Cortina Olympics, French skaters Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron earned a season-best 225.82 points to win gold despite several mistakes by Cizeron, including a glaring one during a twizzle sequence.
