i wish i could have their frosty. but i'm not near any stores to get itAlso, saw the Shibs responded to this funny video of two people seeking "Shibutani juice" and "Nathan Chen Corn Flakes":

at "Where are these basic ass corn flakes?"
This is getting insane. Next they will be on CNN taking a test on which one has better advice for Pres. Trump's meeting with Kim Jung Il. Or on the Met Opera Quiz answering tricky questions about operatic siblings.
I can't decide whether they are more like Zelig, a meme or America's sweethearts. 
Olympic figure skating treasures Maia and Alex Shibutani open up about what it's really like to be a sibling team https://hellogiggles.com/news/shib-sibs-interview/
Maia: He has a great sense of humor, which I’m sure so many people appreciate, but sometimes I’m like, ‘Okay, okay, I get it, you’re funny.’
LMAOOOO
they aren't romantic because they have to, but because they don't desire to. there's a difference.
How Social Media Can Help Show What An Olympian Is Worth -- And Close The Gender Pay Gap
https://www.forbes.com/sites/alanag...dia-to-close-the-gender-pay-gap/#2928e49c748f
Using its Hookit Valuation Methodology (HVM), the algorithm provides an earned media value (tangible dollar amount) to engagements by combing social interactions (likes, shares, comments and video views) with a content promotion quality score (size, clarity, position of logos), promotion type (hashtags or mentions), and an industry standard Cost Per Engagement (CPE).
During Pyeongchang 2018, Hookit found that Team USA's female athletes drove more social media engagements per athlete through the Olympics than Team USA's male athletes. While snowboarder Shaun White had the most engagements (11,805,104) of all athletes competing, the next three most engaging Team USA athletes on social media were all women – ice dancer Maia Shibutani (7,033,652), skier Lindsey Vonn (6,947,603) and snowboarder Chloe Kim (4,363,01).

I am not sure if I understood what (engaging) is, but it is cool that Maia got more than Lindsay and Chloe

How Well Do Alex And Maia Shibutani Know South Korea? We Put Them To The Test: http://aplus.com/a/alex-maia-shibutani-south-korea-trivia?no_monetization=true
okay, thanks
I am simply having a "moment" with this one. My sense would be that most figure skating fans, have little to no idea who Zdena Chara is. He is an absolute ground breaking icon and legend. Captain of the Boston Bruins, has competed in 3 Olympics and probably close to a dozen NHL all-star games. Credited with the hardest shot in the game (clocked) and yes, he's 7 feet tall.
He is also a legend off the ice and this is where I had my "Ah hah!" moment and why I totally get why he and the Shibs simply click. Chara has been a real ground breaker, playing in the NHL with his heritage, for being an athlete ambassador for global charitable causes including being one of the first to support organizations like YOU CAN PLAY which advocates for inclusion, in particular for gay athletes in hockey.
Chara. The Shibs. The classy, good sportsmanship citizens of the world, love, respect and "get" each other.
His comments in the Instagram post are to me, simply jaw dropping. He literally thanks Maia and Alex for "advice and tips" they gave him for becoming a better skater. WHAT?! I mean, holy crap! Guess Chara would agree with Sandra Bezic - Shibs know skating skills.

"zeechara33Pretty unique and familiar guests at the game last night. My dear friends @alexshibutani & @maiashibutaniwho always represent the United States so well. Congratulations on all of your success and achievements. So proud and happy for you both. Also thank you for giving me advice and tips to become a better skater, but mostly thank you for our friendship." He then posts it in his native language to share his happiness for his friends, Maia and Alex (our BABIES!) with his global fans. As they say, I am shook.
Oh, and when they are standing at center court at the Boston Garden during the Celtics Game tonight, their thank you shout out is to Walter McCarty, Assistant Coach of the Celtics. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the invite from the Celtics was a way to thank the Shibs for giving the Celtics advice on how to be 'mentally stronger under immense pressure' or something else that Maia and Alex are simply world class at. Just a guess.
