This thread: Free dance press conference at #WorldFigure

Chock/Bates: It feels amazing! I'm still processing everything - it's been a really big goal for us for a long time. It's an incredibly experience to accomplish it here in front of the incredible crowd. They were literally to the roof of the arena today #WorldFigure

Guignard/Fabbri: This medal for us means so much. It's an incredible reward for many years of hard work, difficult moments, ups and downs. We still have to process it, we can't believe we got silver here - it feels really great #WorldFigure

Gilles/Poirier: We are really proud of ourselves - we really didn't know what to expect after a couple months being off. The moment we stepped on the ice, we felt really calm. It really helps to have a crowd and energy again; it helped us this week #WorldFigure

Chock/Bates: This season has unfolded in many unpredictable ways - all paths have seemingly led to this moment; we learned a lot about ourselves, about what it takes to accomplish what we want to. We had to dig very deep many times - I'm incredibly grateful #WorldFigure

Chock/Bates: In our career, we persevered and showed a lot of grit. Maybe it was a reflection of the program today. That blip felt like it happened so fast, but it was a blip in a really special performance. Our training helped us recover quickly #WorldFigure

On retirement - no one has made a decision; everyone will focus on WTT, doing shows, getting rest, and decide in the off-season #WorldFigure

Poirier: We've competed against Madi and Evan and Charlene and Marco for a very very long time now; I want to highlight how special it is to share the podium with them this week #WorldFigure

Chock/Bates: 80s seems like such a fun genre. We are thinking about big hair, shoulder pads, metallic eyeshadow. But also some really fun music - it'll be really interesting to see the programs and the packaging #WorldFigure

Guignard/Fabbri [on the 80s RD]: It will take some studying. We will have to talk to our parents, because they were in that period. I personally listen to a lot of rock music from the 80s, but I don't think that is skateable #WorldFigure

Gilles/Poirier: We aren't in the headspace to think about next season yet. But there is a lot of rock music in that era, so it will be interesting to see the ice dance teams tackle that theme #WorldFigure

Chock/Bates: When I think about the totality of our career, I'm struck by what our coaches have done for us, and the lifeline that they gave us 5yrs ago after PyeongChang - we could've been done at that point. They gave us a renaissance in our career #WorldFigure
