American triumph and disappointment in Olympic ice dance
GANGNEUNG, South Korea (AP) — Ecstasy, heartbreak and a crash.
Kind of sums up the American ice dance experience at the Winter Olympics.
The Shib Sibs — Maia and older brother Alex Shibutani — added a bronze medal in the event to their team bronze early in the Pyeongchang Games.
U.S. champions Madison Hubbell and Zach Donohue made two key errors in their free dance and slid from third to fifth place.
Madison Chock and Evan Bates had an even bigger slip-up: the rare ice dance fall.
Still, a third, fifth and 12th with a major mistake should not be underplayed.
