Evan Bates and Madison Chock compete in free dance during the team competition at the Beijing Olympics on Monday. They danced eloquently about the power of love and Karen Chen discovered the power of redemption, two seemingly unrelated concepts that somehow came together Monday to fuel a silver-medal finish for the U.S. in the Olympic figure skating team event. “I think a silver medal is something to be incredibly proud of,” said Bates, a four-time Olympian who became the oldest U.S. 

Olympic medalist in any skating discipline at age 32. “It just feels great to contribute in a meaningful way.” Bates acknowledged the concept of the couple’s astronaut-alien free dance was “outside the box.” Chock initially feared it might have been too out there for judges to appreciate. “At the beginning of the season, we didn’t know what to expect. We knew we were taking a risk. But we were like, hey, high risk is high reward,” she said. “And we were really enveloped in the concept of our program, and we decided if we committed to it 100% we could show the world how we felt and hopefully that would resonate with them.”
