World champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates danced their way into a big lead at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. They scored 92.16 points for their rhythm dance on Friday, set to party tunes from the 1950s, ‘60 and ’70s, and were nearly 10 points ahead of second-place Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko.

Chock and Bates were not available after their performance because she was dealing with a food-related stomach bug. The women’s champion will be decided during their free skate later Friday, when Alysa Liu will try to complete a remarkable comeback from a two-year retirement. The 19-year-old from California stood more than five points ahead of two-time champion Bradie Tennell and defending champion Amber Glenn after her short program Thursday night.
There was music from “Hawaii Five-O” and a version of “Let’s Twist Again.” Chock and Bates did the “Watusi with Lucy” and spent time “Stayin’ Alive” with the Bee Gees. And of course, they had the Village People leading the arena in doing the “YMCA.”
