Overview
- The French pair entered Milan as leading gold contenders after winning both Grand Prix assignments and the European Championships.
- Chock and Bates edged them by just over a point in Friday’s Olympic team event rhythm dance, setting up a tight duel before Monday’s rhythm dance and Wednesday’s free dance.
- In a statement released Thursday, the Sorensen complainant said their remarks in press and a Netflix series "create a dangerous environment" for skaters who report abuse.
- Asked about the statement on Friday, the duo declined to add comment before a media handler ended the scrum.
- Sorensen’s six-year OSIC suspension in 2024 was later overturned by the SDRCC on jurisdictional grounds and remains under appeal, and he denies the allegation.
