Chock & Bates [fan thread #2]: "All Paths Have Led to This Moment"

[Sylvia]

Maria Taylor had a lovely chat with Madi, Evan & their moms at the end of NBC's Feb. 12th "Olympic Late Night" show (not sure if it can be replayed on Peacock afterwards?).

ETA: Go to Peacock's Olympic Essentials / Watch By Day Hub - Late Night replays are available to replay for 1 day.

I hope with time the bitterness will fade, and they will focus on their amazing leadership (even if they were not the official captain) of the team event. The fact that they have this much support, respect, and love from their teammates and competitors is such a testament to their career and character. As someone who has not always been the biggest fan of their skating, I adore them as people and will always think of them as the heroes of the 2022 and 2026 gold medal teams.
