Evan Bates

Evan Bates is the kind of athlete who makes you forget you're watching a sport — the guy is 188 centimeters of pure grace on ice, and paired with Madison Chock, they've built something that goes well beyond technical skating. Growing up in Ann Arbor, the brainy college-town heart of Michigan, probably gave him that composed, almost scholarly quality you sense in his performances: nothing flashy for its own sake, everything intentional. Their back-to-back World Championship wins in 2023 and 2024 cemented what fans already knew — this duo doesn't just execute programs, they tell stories. It shows in the best possible way every time he steps onto the ice.
