Alex and Maia Shibutani are American former competitive ice dancers. The pair are a two-time Olympic bronze medalist (2018), a three-time World medalist (silver in 2016; bronze in 2011 and 2017), the 2016 Four Continents champion, and a two-time U.S. national champion (2016, 2017). The Shibutanis (Alex and Maia) have also won six titles on the Grand Prix series and a silver medal at the 2009 World Junior Championships. They are two-time members of the US Olympic team, competing at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, and the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. In 2018, they became the first ice dancers who are both of Asian descent to medal at the Olympics (bronze in team figure skating and ice dance).[1][2] They are the second sibling duo to ever share an ice dance Olympic medal, and the first from the United States.[3] The Shibutani siblings are often referred to by their nickname the Shib Sibs.[4]
