Why U.S. figure skaters Madison Chock, Evan Bates are ice dancing to Lenny Kravitz music

Madison Chock and Evan Bates are back on the ice to represent the United States in more figure skating action on Monday at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

The pair is competing in the ice dancing qualifiers, and if you've got the sound on, you'll notice something: Lenny Kravitz.

The United States duo is dancing to Kravitz music. Yep, for real.

To be clear, it's really three songs mixed together: American Woman, Fly Away and Are You Gonna Go My Way.

Why are Madison Chock and Evan Bates skating to Lenny Kravitz music?

Kravitz falls under the category needed in the rhythm dance category at these Olympics: Music of the '90s.

The reporter Rodger Sherman shared the whole set list:

Apparently, these competitors didn't feel they had tons of options to choose from, because you've got duos doubling and even tripling down on songs.

Chock and Bates are the only ones with their musical arrangement, though, which will make it nice and unique.

They're also among the best at what they do, and they'll be trying to put together a smooth skate to set up a spot in the ice dancing finals. 

As long as they can embrace their inner Kravitz, they'll have a great chance of it going their way.
