There are a ton of interviews and such this week. Here's an interview with InStyle. A Reuters article I read before but paired with a video I don't think I'd seen and an interview about Lily and Po and other things at Uproxx Sports.

That was a really great interview. And what?!! Lily is Po´s niece? :eek: and I did not know that Maia was homeschooled.

In the InStyle interview they talked about wearing new clothes for the olympics, I hope they are talking about the uniforms and no about the costumes :(.

This is probably old news at this point for you guys, but thought I’d share anyways. :)

I went to my favorite taco place earlier today for lunch and, like always, went to the Coke Freestyle machine for my usual diet Dr Pepper.

But this time a button on the main screen got my attention..something like “Team USA Drinks—Go for the Cold”. :lol: I touched the button, and to my pleasant surprise, one of the new drinks was “ShibSibs Arctic Glory”! :respec:

I thought that was really awesome, and I’m happy they are getting publicity, particularly in one of the last places I was expecting a figure skating reference. I then had to explain to my friend why I was taking a picture of the Coke Freestyle machine. :shuffle:

Not old news at all! Fans have been posting pictures to twitter.

The Shibs have worked so hard, for literally so many years, through their social media outreach, intelligence, and positive personalities, to help bring figure skating and especially ice dance into mainstream settings. Nice to see.
 
New Cosmo piece on the Shibs with a cute and funny video of them playing the Newly Wed game. It's not as creepy as that sounds.

I'm loving all the publicity the Shibs are having now. I'm going to miss it once Olympic fever is over.

You can take this Buzzfeed quiz to find out which Olympic athlete you are based on your color choices:

¨ Our parents´ favorite ShibSib? Maia: the truth?, Alex: (he looks at her surprised/intrigued) what is the truth?!!¨ :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Great article!! They did not say anything directly, but reading it gave me the impression that they are not thinking of retirement soon.

About the quiz, I got to Chloe Kim, I have no idea who she is, It took me 6 tries to get the Shibs :revenge: :duh:

The Olympic Games are so close :eek:, I hope they stay healthy :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

I got Nathan Chen on my first try lol. At least it was still a figure skater.

Loved the last question in that video and their reactions LOL.
 
I got Shaun White. Eight years ago maybe but now???? I will try again like chapis.

I loved the newlywed game. It's so nice to see them unscripted and answering different-than-usual questions that give a more personal perspective on their relationship. Very cute.

Chloe Kim is AMAZING, so I don't mind getting her. :)

The Cosmo video was fun to watch -- although when the "How would Maia react to Alex hooking up at the Olympic Village" and I was like, yeah, it is Cosmo after all...

About Cosmo, did you guys see the linked articles related to the all the U.S. ice dance teams? Basically, our three ice dance teams can be labeled as "The Love Birds"/"The Exes"/"The Siblings"...

This Sunday is the super bowl, right? what a timing, just one day before than Maia and Alex leave to Korea. I am hoping that Patriots win this, so Alex will be extra motivated.

I prefer to look at it this way. The Shibs, like the Philadelphia Eagles, are the "underdogs" that will vanquish the heavily favored ISU darlings (not mentioning any names:angryfire). Heck, just like this season's ice dance judging, the Patriots have been gifted with questionable calls that always seem to go their way:rolleyes:

No disrespect to Patriot fans intended:)

A Twitter thread with some quotes from the Shibs' press call tonight:

Alex said they've been working on their free dance since Nationals. "We've made a lot of really positive changes. The program has changed quite a bit."
I wonder what it is about. All teams continue to make changes until the last moment. Well, at least it seems that the SD does not cause them problems, I am sure that even they did not expect that their most accepted program was precisely their SD.

Really?, I did not know it. I don´t follow it so close, figure skating is enough time consuming, but it is obvious that Alex is a big fan of Patriots. But does makes sense what you are saying, it seems weird that each Super Bowl is Patriots vs ¨insert a name¨. So I guess any result will have a positive side.
