“There was a very awkward fall. It hasn’t happened, it hasn’t happened, and there it is again. It’s generally unclear how they even won Worlds last season.” Bobrova on Chock/Bates’ performance at Skate America

Ekaterina Bobrova negatively assessed the programs of the Chock/Bates duo this season. Here’a a translation of her comments.
Madison Chock and Evan Bates placed second at the US Grand Prix Skate America, losing to Lailah Fear and Lewis Gibson.
“There was a very awkward fall in the rhythm dance by the American duo Chock/Bates, as I allowed myself to say in the commentary: ‘It hasn’t happened, it hasn’t happened, and there it is again.’
It’s generally unclear how they even won the World Championships the season before last. Fall after fall. I even wrote to the guys: ‘Congratulations, of course, but the fall…’
In general, let’s be honest: I didn’t like anything about their performances. Neither their rhythm dance nor their free dance. It seems like they maintained a level of classy routines for three seasons.
And now it feels like they decided to hit rock bottom before the Olympic season and are holding onto some very cool idea that will relatively look good,” said the Sochi Olympic champion in team event Ekaterina Bobrova on the podcast “Skating Move.”
