Evan Bates (born February 23, 1989) is an American ice dancer. With his skating partner, Madison Chock, he is the 2022 Olympic gold medalist in the team event[a], the 2023 and 2024 World champion, the 2023-24 Grand Prix Final champion, a three-time Four Continents champion (2019, 2020, 2023), and a five-time U.S. national champion (2015, 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024). The two represented the United States at the 2014, 2018 and 2022 Winter Olympics.
2023-2024 Season
Skipping the Challenger circuit for a second consecutive season, Chock and Bates' first competition was a defense of their title at the 2023 Skate America. They finished first in the rhythm dance by seven points in front of Canadian training mates Lajoie/Lagha, despite having had a dangerous fall in practice the morning of the segment.[97] They won the free dance as well, taking their fourth event title by a wide margin. They cite the fiftieth anniversary of The Dark Side of the Moon as the inspiration for their Pink Floyd medley free program.[98] Despite twizzle errors in the free dance at the 2023 Grand Prix of Espoo, they won that event as well.[99]
Chock/Bates qualified to the 2023-24 Grand Prix Final, their seventh appearance at the event, a record for American competitors in any discipline. They scored 89.15 in the rhythm dance, the highest score for any team to that point in the season.[100] Winning the free dance as well, they took their first gold medal, and first Final medal of any color other than silver.
In advance of the 2024 U.S. Championships, Chock/Bates were preemptively named to the American team for the 2024 Four Continents Championships, which were to be held the following week in Shanghai.[102] Chock began to experience flu-like symptoms in the days before the national championships. They won the rhythm dance by an 8.98-point margin over Carreira/Ponomarenko, but Chock's symptoms continued to worsen, and the decision to compete in the free dance was only firmly made shortly before their final warmup. They lost that segment to Carreira/Ponomarenko, finishing second there, but remained in first place overall.[103] Chock/Bates subsequently withdrew from the Four Continents team, and were replaced by Zingas/Kolesnik.[104]
The 2024 World Championships were held in Montreal, home of the team's training base. They won the rhythm dance with a score of 90.08 points, with Chock calling it their best of the season. In the free dance, they lost a level on their opening stationary lift, and ultimately finished second in that segment behind Canada's Gilles/Poirier, but remained first overall and claimed the gold medal. 🥇With this result they equaled Davis/White's record for most World titles for an American dance team, and became the first American team to win two World titles consecutively. They said they were pleased to have achieved this in their "adopted hometown."
