A Subtle Revolution at Art on Ice

With their Art on Ice performances, Gabriella Papadakis and Madison Hubbell preview the beautiful future of open-gender ice dance.

What makes Gabi and Maddie remarkable is not just that they are two female Olympic champions performing together, but that they explicitly intend for this program to be an example, a statement, and a catalyst for change.

Text and interview by Anna Kellar.

Maddie’s experience as a coach has also influenced her sense of the change that is needed. “Certainly, seeing young girls do tryouts now, there is a little bit of like an, ‘oh, I hope he picks me,’ without any question of, ‘do I want to pick him?” And I think that would be the same no matter what when there’s that much of an imbalance of opportunity. So, yeah, I think it would be interesting to see what happens when there are so many more options. Maybe people would be held to a higher standard and ask themselves a little bit more if this is really the right environment for me.”

rest in peace, dick button (july 18, 1929 – january 30, 2025)

dick button, known as the godfather of figure skating, was a two-time back-to-back olympic champion, a five-time consecutive world champion, and the only non-european man to become a european champion! he was the first skater in history to land a double axel, as well as the first to land a triple jump of any kind (the triple loop), in competition. additionally, he was credited for inventing the flying camel spin (aka the "button camel"). after his retirement, he became an expert sports analyst, winning an emmy award for his excellent commentary on figure skating.

matteo rizzo: "i also want to express my deep condolences to everyone involved in the plane crash and to U.S. Figure Skating. it's incredibly horrible news. i’ve been following the updates all day, and my heart breaks for my friends in the U.S. i want to send them all my best wishes"

nikolaj memola: "i want to mention that i feel devastated by the news this morning about the plane crash involving the parents of close friends and people i know. personally, the best thing i could do today was skate and share some positive emotions with others. i want to send a big hug to everyone affected and i feel deeply for the victims"
