That changed everything in our relationship and our partnership.” “Skating was always the main focus, but as we’ve gotten older, I think the relationship has become the main focus,” Bates said in an interview with in January. “Skating obviously is still the main focus, but skating is kind of like our means of strengthening ourselves and our relationship and going through all the experiences of life together, and so the appreciation for the partnership has grown.” Bates, 36, and Chock, 32, talked about their future after their figure skating careers. “We don’t know what the future holds for us, but we know that we’ll be riding through it and supporting each other,” Bates said.
