Chock and Bates win third straight ice dance world title

SPORTS 29.03.2025

Americans Madison Chock and Evan Bates dazzled again in the free dance to become the first duo in 28 years to win a third straight ice dance world title on Saturday.

Text size:

Leading by 3.74 points after the rhythm dance, the Americans captivated in their jazz-themed free skate, scoring 131.88 points for a total of 222.06.

Canada's Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier, who beat Chock and Bates at the Four Continents Championships in February, skated a superb free dance to "A Whiter Shade of Pale," scoring 130.10 for a total of 216.54.

They added another world silver to the one they captured on home ice in Montreal last year after winning bronze in 2021 and 2023.

Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson of Britain were third, garnering 123.25 points for their free dance to a medley of Beyonce hits for a total of 207.11.

Chock and Bates, who have skated together since 2011 and were married last year, are the first ice dancers to win three successive world titles since Russia's Oksana Grishuk and Evgeni Platov won four from 1994-97.
