Thanks to the Olympic Channel for giving this wonderful pair of siblings a space! Maia and Alex are so hardworking, humble and nice people; and even though they might face some limitations due to being brother and sister, this made them take on a different style and produce some wonderful programs. Specially "Fix You" with which they won the silver at the 2016 World Championships. Their career has only gone upwards since Sochi: back then their FD score was among the 90s, while they got over 110 at last year's Worlds. I hope they can get an Olympic medal in 2018, the best of luck for the Shibsibs! :D
Maia and Alex represent the Olympic ideals in so many ways. Positive, hopeful, hard working, honest, kind, resilient. Couldn't be prouder that they represent the USA!
I love the shibsibs so much. Personally I think they really stand out as a sibling pair and their programs are always so much fun to watch bc they are a sibling pair (less touchy feely compared to other pairs). Shibsibs ftw!!
I love the ShibSibs so so so much! They're super fun to watch, really charismatic and such nice people. Their vlogs and Videos in General are just amazing and they really brighten up ones day. For sure one of my most favorite Ice Dance Pairs out there!!! You go Maia and Alex!!! Supporting from Germany ♥
hahaha :D naja sind ja fast immer die besten ;) nein nein mag viele verschiedene Eiskunstläufer.. nur momentan sind immer die Asiatien an der Spitze :D auch in Amerika ♥ aber ja hauptsächlich sind Asiatische Eiskunstläufer meine Favoriten :D aber dass auch weil sie echt super talentiert sind!!!
i feel like they are rarely given their dues by the judges, though. technically, they are better than anybody else. and yet you wouldn't know it by looking at their competitive record. honestly, they should have won worlds in 2017, but they barely got bronze. i just hope it's not because they are asian, but i suspect it is, and it's a crying shame
But all the best skaters (and rewarded accordingly) are Asian! Yuzuru Hanyu, Yuna Kim, Shoma Uno, Midoro Ito (regarded as probably the best female jumper ever) Stop making everything about race. (Yes, The Russians are overscored, but that is because they are Russian, not because they are European)
i think it's because other ice dancing couples can be seen as having "chemistry" on ice, but bc they're siblings they bring a different relationship to the ice so the judges equate that to a worse performance just bc it isn't romantically driven.
I feel like it is because they are siblings, they don't have that great romance factor or intense chemistry that some of the other couples have. Which of course those couples are dating/married, or at least not related to each other, so it comes across differently.
The ShibSibs are greatest skating pair. I didn't know they were in their Twentys, they look younger than that. I only saw a couple of their skating programs from the 2018 Olympics and they did an amazing job. They inspired me to start skating again. Hope to see them at the 2022 Winter Olympics!
The Shibs are such great people!! They're amazing athletes but also they're such inspiring individuals overall! And their vlogs were the reason I got into their skating. :) I definitely recommend everyone to watch their short dance from this season, which is called That's Life (it's a mix of Sinatra and Jay-Z plus they do super cool hip-hop moves!) and their free dance to Coldplay's Fix You, which is such a moving piece. I can guarantee you'll love both! Check them out!!
thank you sooo much, great interview and all. They are great in all aspects. Talented, smart, funny, friendly, beautiful. Definitely they are the best ice dance team. And their parents are so cool too.
They are so lovely. My favorite ice dance team at the moment. I just love their personalities and their skating as well. They clearly have such a strong relationship with each other and you can see it on and off the ice. I really hope they will get the gold in Pyeongchang!
You guys are just awesome skaters and more than that... you have such a big impact on other skaters and all of us back home. Your personalities radiant love for the sport, your peers, families and US.
Love these two!!! They really remind me of Derek and Julianne Hough! And Love, LOVE Those Two ;-))) Keep on Going all the way to the GOLD ShibSibs!! Xo From TEAM USA
Ohhhh, Alex and Maia- I just lovvvve you two---so charming, so uplifting, so fun, SO TALENTED-FROM hard work, no egos....and-the respect and love you have for each other is evident, and beautiful. Wishing you all the best tonite in 2018, and, hope to see you in stars on ice in Allentown...YOU are the reason I bought tickets!! ♡♡ your artistry and intentions come thru loud and clear...♡ U !
At first I really don't like figure skating, especially the ice dance, I find it boring. But after watching The Shibs skate to Fix You last 2015 I find myself watching figure skating videos. I learned to respect figure skaters, all their hard work and dedication to their sport. The Shibs are great role models, these two are just inspiring. What they've been through, makes me so proud of what they achieved. Congratulations to their parents for raising them well. I'm excited for what's next for the Shibs.
I've never taken an interest in any sports up until I've just watched this video. Do you think it's too late for a 14 year old to pick up on such an elegant and difficult sport when I have no experience in skating at all?
April Barcega I started at 15 and it's so much fun. One thing to take into consideration would be to make sure you can afford it. Skating is expensive and it is often the only think holding you back but if you can go for it! Look into beginner classes and go to a few then invest in a good pair of skates. Go and get fitted. Do not buy online or at a regular sports store. Go to a pro shop and try on lots until you find the best fit. But whatever you do do not go buying ice flys because they are expensive and 'the best skates' they are for advanced skaters a beginner will find them too stiff and you may end up injured.
Hi Shibuttains, we're with you anytime you post us the videos from fashions to how to's to how your toes glide to the skate rank and tohow your lives change on youtube. Welcome to the family.
I wished I had such a close relationship with my brother, or even anyone. They will always share a special bond even after they'll have stopped figure skating. I like their dynamic.
It's "required" for the boys to participate in team sports in middle school? As someone who's not from the US, can someone clear this up for me? Just curious that's all
The middle schools in my district require some sort of sports elective, and it's always for all students, not just boys. Maia must have still been in elementary school because he's three years older but they were already competing so I bet the school allowed that to be his sport.
They are both so good looking
Maya Holt I know right?!
Maya Holt foreal

Are they Japanese or Korean? ? tbh I just want to see if they have other siblings. such prefect genes omggg

(Yes, The Russians are overscored, but that is because they are Russian, not because they are European)
It's because they're siblings. They're always underscored. Basically, the judges throw a fit because they can't ship them. 😂

I just found out they are in their twenties thanks to your comment I thought they were 16

never is too late.
i am 23 and I started to skate last year... never too late
Every sport is difficult. but if u start gymnastics or figure skating, it would be too late to compete

Omg. It's Mickey and Sara.
LMAO YURI ON ICE REFERENCE SLAY
literally was my first thought lmaoooo
At least they don't bang each other oh well 😂😂
stop with the yuri on ice references they're getting old
the comments were made literally two months ago. of course they're old ;)
Are they competing this year Winter Olympics
Thriller on the olympics 😁😁😁
This is awesome
It's "required" for the boys to participate in team sports in middle school? As someone who's not from the US, can someone clear this up for me? Just curious that's all
kopxpert it just depends on where you go, my middle school wasn't like that
He probably went to a nice private school. Probably to build character or something. I've never heard of a regular public school requiring that.
The middle schools in my district require some sort of sports elective, and it's always for all students, not just boys. Maia must have still been in elementary school because he's three years older but they were already competing so I bet the school allowed that to be his sport.
There are special types of schools in America for things like STEM or drama / theater, so maybe he went to a school that was for athletes??
her freckles are everything
