Madison Chock and Evan Bates put up their best individual performance in the Olympics on Wednesday, coming away with a silver medal in figure skating’s ice dance competition.
There was some controversy over their second-place finish, however, spotlighting the intricacies — and inconsistencies — of the sport’s judging system.
In particular, the gap in scores for Chock and Bates from a French judge — who rated the winning team from France, much higher — drew scrutiny after the event.
