Podcast appearances and mentions of madison chock

In this episode of the Mindset Matters podcast, hosts Steffany Hanlen-Francey and Patrick Francey share their unique experience of recording the podcast while on vacation in Oahu, Hawaii. Amidst the serene yet windy Hawaiian backdrop, they delve into the theme of facing new challenges and breaking through fears. Steffany recounts a significant personal milestone: officiating a wedding for the first time. She was honored to marry the world-class Olympic ice dancers Madison Chock and Evan Bates, a couple she has coached for over five years. The couple, whose wedding was featured in People Magazine, entrusted Steffany with this special role, leading her to become an ordained minister and obtain the necessary licensure in Hawaii. The conversation reflects on the broader implications of stepping into new roles and embracing change. Steffany discusses the importance of saying "yes" to opportunities, even when they are accompanied by uncertainty and fear. She emphasizes that her journey to officiating the wedding wasn't just about the ceremony but about the trust and relationship she had built with Madison and Evan over the years. This trust was a testament to the work and dedication she had invested in her career and relationships. Patrick and Steffany explore the concept of being coachable, both in their professional and personal lives. They highlight the significance of having a support system and being open to guidance and feedback. This mindset has been crucial for their growth and success, whether in public speaking, coaching, or personal development. Throughout the episode, the hosts reflect on their own experiences of overcoming fears and embracing new challenges. Patrick shares his journey of conquering his fear of public speaking, crediting the support and coaching he received along the way. Steffany's story of officiating the wedding serves as a powerful example of stepping out of one's comfort zone and the rewards that come with it. In conclusion, this episode of the Mindset Matters podcast offers valuable insights into the importance of embracing new experiences, being open to change, and the power of saying "yes" to opportunities. Steffany and Patrick's stories inspire listeners to face their fears and trust in their abilities to navigate uncharted territories.

The fifth stop in the Grand Prix series, Espoo in Finland, proved to be another messy mid-season competition with some big comebacks, a few surprises, and a stellar dance-off that left us wanting more from every team in the top 5! Women's Competition — Queen Kaori and Amber Glenn's amazing comeback As we'd hoped (and expected), Japan's Kaori Sakamoto took her second Grand Prix title of the season — clinching her spot at the top of the standings going into the Grand Prix Final this December. Kaori's programs weren't flawless, but showed her signature style, power, and grit that reflect the champion she's proven to be. After last season's disappointment at the Grand Prix final, we know she's hungry for the title — and this was a good step in getting her to it. Also from Japan, Rion Sumiyoshi held on after a solid short program and a rather hot-and-cold free skate to capture the silver. Rion has definitely put herself in the running for a spot at the Grand Prix Final — now she waits for the shake-out following NHK Trophy next week! In third, with perhaps the skate of the competition (or possibly the season in the women's discipline), Amber Glenn from the United States skated a personal best in her free program and climbed from 11th place to bronze! Her short program was a heartbreaker, so to see her shine as brightly as she did in the long and find redemption in the most spectacular way was a joy. We cannot wait to see her at U.S. Nationals! Ice Dance Competition — Chock and Bates win again The top five teams in the competition made us feel things. Good to great things. They were all superb, but the reigning World Champions, Madison Chock and Evan Bates from the U.S. did just enough to grab the gold — and their ticket to the Grand Prix Final. With a near flawless Rhythm Dance and a gorgeous if imperfect Free Dance, they definitely showed they are very much in the hunt for another World title. In the silver spot, the impeccably smoldering “Cana-danes” — Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Nikolaj Soerensen — brought two glorious performances to Finland and walked away with their spot at the final. Not only that, they improved upon their season's best score — making Canadian Nationals even more intriguing considering what we've seen from Gilles and Porrier and Lajoie and Lagha! In the third spot, the rising Finnish team of Turkkila and Versluis made quite an impression, with their free dance especially — creating something wholly unique on ice and setting themselves up as “ones to watch” leading into Worlds and, moreso, the next Olympic Games. Off the podium but equally impressive, Carreria and Ponomarenko from the U.S. were possibly the best we've ever seen — looking incredible in their free skate. Both they and another American team here, Zingas and Kolesnik, applied pressure to other U.S. teams with their showings here leading into what promises to be a VERY competitive U.S. Nationals! Men's Competition — Kao Miura clinches while Kevin Aymoz rallies The men definitely “men'd” in the short program with quite a few messy programs. However, rising to the top, were both Kao Miura and Shun Sato of Japan. The two friends and rivals both skated stunning free programs, with Kao bringing on just enough extra power and emotional commitment to nudge him above Shun's more subdued performance. This was a close one, but locks Kao in for the Grand Prix Final and makes a strong case for both of them to be in the hunt for World team spots at Japan's national championships in December. In another big comeback, after a somewhat disastrous short program, France's Kevin Aymoz skated for the fans and won himself a bronze medal. The emotion and fire that Aymoz brings is almost unmatched by any other man skating competitively today — making this moment a very special one to witness. Fingers crossed he can hold on to a spot in the final after next week's NHK Trophy — it's going to be a nail-biter. Pairs Competition — A surprise win for Hase and Volodin Finally, in the Pairs competition, we saw quite a bit of change from the short to the long — with Germany's Hase and Volodin doing just enough to take a closely fought battle for gold. Both of their programs weren't without errors, but showed a beautiful team finding their footing together and making a case for themselves to be in the conversation this season. Italy's Sara Conti and Niccolo Macii continued to perform at a slightly lower level than we saw last season, placing second here with two nice but imperfect skates. This team is genuinely great, so we're hoping they can find their way back. The third spot, by just a few hundredths of a point, went to the Hungarian team of Maria Pavlova and Alexei Sviatchenko over China's Cheng Peng and Lei Wang, who were in first after the short program. While the Hungarian team's technical content was of higher value that Peng and Wang, this result was surprising as a viewer — if not a little disappointing. Both teams were deserving — however we would have had the result flipped.

Madison Chock and Evan Bates are an elite ice dancing team with numerous accolades, including being the 2023 World Champions and three-time Olympians. They were part of the Beijing 2022 U.S. Olympic Figure Skating Team that has been caught up in what is now more than a year-long saga still awaiting their medals as a result of a competitor's positive drug test. In this episode, Madison and Evan share their stories, describe how their experiences surrounding the 2022 Olympic Games have impacted them and their teammates, and discuss their commitment to clean sport and the anti-doping movement.

Welcome to Season 3, Episode 16. The New York Tong Wars were a series of four violent conflicts that happened in New York between the two most influential tongs there… the On Leong Tong and the Hip Sing Tong. In this episode, we talk about the events and environment that led to the Tong Wars, focusing on Tom Lee of the On Leong Tong and how the corruption of law enforcement through Tammany Hall contributed to conflict escalation. We also talk about a few other key Chinese community leaders like Wo Kee, Lee Toy, and Wong Get. For more detailed information on the NY Tong Wars, we highly recommend the Scott Seligman book Tong Wars: The Untold Story of Vice, Money and Murder in New York's Chinatown. In our second segment, we celebrate the recent gold medal for Madison Chock and Evan Bates in Ice Dancing at the recent World Figure Skating Championships, not to mention the 6 medals won by Japanese and Korean skaters.

The Figure Skating world was rocked this past week with scandal, heartbreak, and hundreds of unanswered questions. Not quite the stuff athletes dream about finding in the headlines covering their Olympic experience. And yet, but the ice dancers and the women of this Olympic Games persisted and gave us heartfelt moments that will live on for all who watched.  This week on Ice Talk, Tara chats with Jackie who brings perspective on the doping scandal from Beijing, and both find moments to celebrate along the way.

US Nationals was a heck of a superspreader, er, figure skating competition! The top 7 men laid it down in the short program, and went on to lay down some chaos in the free skate. Ice Dance saw some nail biters and some boy bands as the top teams battled for the gold medal, and that coveted third Olympic spot.In the Men's event, we saw either Guy Fieri, Hot Cheetos, or the Eye of Sauron on Nathan Chen's new fiery costume, a triumphant Camden Pulkinen, and a sad boot incident for our disco dancing king, Yaroslav Paniot.In Ice Dance, we ah ah ah'ed our way through our recap, wondering how many sweatshirts Evan Bates really had on, bopping our heads to Eva Pate and Logan Bye's Bye Bye Bye RD, and crying over both Hawayek and Baker, and Green and Parsons' free dances.Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(01:30) - News: Reed/Ambrulevičius(03:18) - ICE DANCE (03:43) - Eva Pate & Logan Bye (07:34) - Christina Carreira & Anthony Ponomarenko (11:08) - Katarina Wolfkostin & Jeffrey Chen(13:50) - Emily Bratti & Ian Somerville(16:57) - Caroline Green & Michael Parsons(20:06) - Kaitlin Hawayek & Jean-Luc Baker(25:37) - Madison Hubbell & Zach Donohue(30:37) - Madison Chock & Evan Bates(34:48) - MEN(35:21) - Artur Dmitriev Jr.(41:08) - Yaroslav Paniot(45:15) - Jimmy Ma(48:42) - Camden Pulkinen(53:18) - Jason Brown(56:35) - Vincent Zhou(1:00:56) - Ilia Malinin(1:06:14) - Nathan Chen(1:18:32) - Kiss & Cry: Team Selections(1:25:59) - Outro------------------------------------------------Follow our figure skating podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lutzgetdownpod/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/lutzgetdownpod And to work with us please contact lutzgetdownpod@gmail.com Logo design by @dezisartvibes on Instagramxx Joce & Clauds

It was a busy week around the figure skating landscape, and Tara and Jackie are ready to break down the highlights. And of course, they'll talk all things Grand Prix Final qualifications, with just one event to go.  Plus, Madison Chock and Evan Bates join the show to share their approach to this Olympic season programs, and they even share some of their very best relationship advice!

Would it really be a men's event if chaos did not abound? We will never know the answer to that as at Skate America, we again did not see peace. We talked about how everyone should lay off Nathan Chen and how we love happy and confident Vincent Zhou and the benefits of skating to a program with your name as the title. We also questioned who Joce's clubbing buddy is now that Uno Shoma is skating to Vivaldi and Bolero, and cried for and with Kevin Aymoz while joining the audience for a standing ovation.In the dance event, we pondered the placement of Yehor Yehorov's worm-ing on the ice, dated ourselves by revealing how old we were when Boom Boom Pow topped the charts, and learned the true meaning of Too Darn Hot with Evan Bates' highly insulated free dance costume.Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(01:07) - ICE DANCE(02:38) - Molly Cesanek & Yehor Yehorov(05:06) - Carolane Soucisse & Shane Firus(06:04) - Natalia Kaliszek & Maksym Spodyriev(06:37) - KOMATSUBARA Misato & Tim Koleto(09:28) - Annabelle Morozov & Andrei Bagin(13:11) - Olivia Smart & Adrian Diaz(16:00) - Laurence Fournier Beaudry & Nikolaj Sørensen(17:55) - Madison Chock & Evan Bates(23:19) - Madison Hubbell & Zach Donohue(26:06) - MEN(26:23) - Kevin Aymoz(28:52) - Artur Danielian(30:27) - Adam Siao Him Fa(33:27) - Nam Nguyen(36:15) - Daniel Grassl(39:19) - Michal Brezina(40:50) - Jimmy Ma(44:09) - SATO Shun(46:44) - Nathan Chen(54:28) - UNO Shoma(58:03) - Vincent Zhou(1:02:46) - Outro------------------------------------------------Follow our figure skating podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lutzgetdownpod/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/lutzgetdownpod And to work with us please contact lutzgetdownpod@gmail.com Logo design by @dezisartvibes on Instagramxx Joce & Clauds

This Worlds 2021 Gala/World Team Trophy Selections/Olympics Spot discussion episode may be the most fun we've ever had on the pod! Seriously, it was 4:30am and we were laughing so hard. We talked about the emotional significance of Guignard and Fabbri's 7+3 program, counted the number of skaters in Keegan Messing-esque cowboy costumes, and Claudia took imaginary shots for every all-black gala costume. We also marveled at Yuzuru Hanyu's program and fought about our favorite Nathan Chen program. (Rocketman and Caravan are superior - can you tell who wrote this caption??) Finally, we both became makeshift Abby Lee Millers (except not, because she's awful) and made Dance Moms analogies and pyramids for the entirety of the episode.You won't wanna miss this episode, although there's a possibility Claudia missed the entire thing from the number of imaginary shots she took. Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro & General News(01:30) - World Team Trophy entries(09:47) - Olympic spots confirmations ft. side ramble about Morisi's gala program(22:40) - Gala: opening ceremony(24:18) - Nikolaj Majorov(25:20) - Cheng PENG & Yan JIN(27:39) - Josefin Taljegård(29:52) - Donovan Carrillo(31:24) - Madison Chock & Evan Bates(33:14) - Kaori SAKAMOTO(34:57) - Mikhail Kolyada(35:47) - Charlene Guignard & Marco Fabbri(38:00) - Sasha Trusova(40:37) - Riku MIURA & Ryuichi KIHARA(41:13) - Piper Gilles & Paul Poirier(41:49) - Karen Chen(43:14) - Morisi Kvietlashvili(47:15) - Andreas Nordebäck(48:45) - Bradie Tennell(49:59) - Yuma KAGIYAMA(50:41) - Kirsten Moore-Towers & Michael Marinaro(51:12) - Lilah Fear & Lewis Gibson(52:34) - Rika KIHIRA(53:22) - Keegan Messing(56:50) - Aleksandra Boikova & Dmitri Kozlovskii(57:26) - Madison Hubbell & Zach Donohue(57:45) - Elizaveta Tuktamysheva(59:06) - Yuzuru HANYU(1:00:52) - Anastasia Mishin & Aleksandr Galliamov(1:01:39) - Victoria Sinitsina & Nikita Katsalapov(1:02:46) - Anna Shcherbakova(1:04:46) - Nathan Chen(1:07:50) - Gala: finale(1:09:58) - Kiss & Cry: book recommendation(1:12:48) - Outro------------------------------------------------Follow our figure skating podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lutzgetdownpod/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/lutzgetdownpod And to work with us please contact lutzgetdownpod@gmail.com Logo design by @dezisartvibes on Instagramxx Joce & Clauds

It's our last 2021 World Figure Skating Championships recap episode! (Well, we will be uploading a Gala/World Team Trophy/Olympics spots discussion soon, but besides that). In this recap of the Ice Dance event, we absolutely screamed for Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier's bronze medal and waved a 20ft Canadian flag in our minds, not unlike Keegan Messing in the audience. We also cried a river over some highly sus judging scores and talked (some more, again) about Greatest Showman programs. And of course a shoutout to not having to listen to “My Heart Belongs to Daddy” again! Always a relief.Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro & Event Overview(02:08) - Misato Komatsubara & Tim Koleto(06:05) - Holly Harris & Jason Chan(06:22) - Allison Reed & Saulius Ambrulevičius(09:39) - Marjorie Lajoie & Zach Lagha(16:00) - Wang Shiyue & Liu Xinyu(20:49) - Sara Hurtado & Kirill Khaliavin(24:39) - Tiffany Zahorski & Jonathan Guerriero(28:57) - Kaitlin Hawayek & Jean-Luc Baker(33:01) - Laurence Fournier-Beaudry & Nikolaj Sørensen(35:15) - Lilah Fear & Lewis Gibson(40:14) - Charlene Guignard & Marco Fabbri(46:14) - Alexandra Stepanova & Ivan Bukin(52:15) - Madison Chock & Evan Bates(56:40) - Piper Gilles & Paul Poirier(1:01:58) - Madison Hubbell & Zach Donohue(1:05:06) - Victoria Sinitsina & Nikita Katsalapov(1:12:36) - Kiss & Cry: book recommendation(1:14:42) - Outro------------------------------------------------Follow our figure skating podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lutzgetdownpod/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/lutzgetdownpod And to work with us please contact lutzgetdownpod@gmail.com Logo design by @dezisartvibes on Instagramxx Joce & Clauds
