Lace Up Your Skates with the Shibutanis, Brother and Sister Ice…<\/b>
\n

Lace Up Your Skates with the Shibutanis, Brother and Sister Ice Dancers<\/h1>\n

Follow along with Maia and Alex at @shibsibs<\/a> on Instagram.<\/i><\/p>\n

For American ice dancers Maia and Alex Shibutani (@shibsibs<\/a>), their family bond is their greatest strength. \u201cSkating with a sibling is unique,\u201d says 23-year-old Maia (@maiashibutani<\/a>). \u201cBut we\u2019ve always gotten along well. Alex is an awesome big brother and now that we\u2019re on the same team, we treat each other like equals. It\u2019s a huge strength for us to know that we support each other unconditionally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Competing in their second Winter Olympics, in #Pyeongchang2018, Maia and Alex are no strangers to success in ice dancing, a ballroom dancing-influenced form of figure skating: They are three-time world medalists and two-time U.S. champions in their sport. And earlier this week, they won bronze in the team figure skating event. But being Olympic athletes \u2014 together \u2014 is their greatest triumph. \u201cOur bond extends beyond our skating together as a team,\u201d says 26-year-old Alex (@alexshibutani<\/a>). \u201cWe\u2019ll be best friends for the rest of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
