In the 1st half of the Super Bowl, there was a commercial for the Os and Madi and Zach were in it.

I saw that! They were in it a few times, right? Pretty cool

eTa: was just on Instagram and Zach posted a picture 3 days ago of what looks to be a practice FD runthrough since Madison is in a different dress than usual...just wanted to say I LOVE the dress! The one she normally wears is exquisite but if she wore this one for the Olympics I'd love it. I'll try to post the picture later, sometimes it doesn't work on my phone.

It is a practice version of the dress so to avoid wear and tear on the performance dress.

According to Zach's instagram story, they are about to leave for Korea right now !

I'm disappointed if it's true that H/D don't get to do the team event, but I understand the situation. As all 3 dance teams are good and almost interchangeable, it makes sense for USFSA to rest Chen (if he's even skating at all), and split the ladies as none of them strikes me as the obvious choice for both programs. The Shibs do have stronger overall competitive history and higher scoring SD.

On the other hand, I saw H/D practice a couple of weeks ago and I can say the couple of major changes they made to the FD are for the best
Can't wait for the dance event

From people.com, video and quotes from Team USA skaters:

Why Winter Olympics beat Summer

 

[blancanieves]

SLC Olympics inspire Team USA members

As an 11-year-old, only a year into his skating career at the time of the Salt Lake Games, Zachary Donohue was captivated by skating icons such as 2002 men’s champion Alexei Yagudin and ice dance champions Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat gliding across the TV screen. He first started . . .

Guys, if you don't follow Maddie and Zach on instagram you are missing big time (especially Zach). They just keep posting and posting in their stories, there is so much content !

 

[UMBS Go Blue]

Especially Zach going all shirtless

 

[lmarie086]

I love how close they seem to be with the other skaters. And I'm just so freaking happy for them to be at the Olympics. Hope they skate lights out next week!!

 

[jbuckbee]

SO happy for them. No one deserves this more than Madi & Zach.

If you've missed them, this tumblr is capturing H/D's Instagram stories.

I hope they skate in the Team Event and help the U.S win the bronze medal that is their goal! And that they win 2 bronze medals by winning another in the individual. I would rather Weaver & Poje, but that is probably unrealistic, and H&D are my next hope.

Zach just posted they are going off site to train. If that require actually moving there, I think that's the confirmation they won't do the team event.

Eta never mind, Jackie Wong tweeted that it's outside Gangneung

Nifty clip of Eric and Zach jamming.

Radford & Donohue


ETA link to this interesting video from The New York Times:

Inside an Olympian Mind

 

[DreamsofBliss]

Their interview with People. There are several compilation videos on their channels as well that include HD.

Really cool video from New York Times about what goes through their minds before they hit the ice.

Oh dear, they had to practice without their music!

Also in the excitement of the Olympics I bought my tickets to worlds. Ready for their first World medal

Can't wait to see what the internet makes of these two once the dance event starts!

So far there is a Buzzfeed post detailing the relationships of the team USA pairs and ice dancers

I hope the world and casual fans will notice them for other reasons! They need sponsors!!!
