Figure Skating did not appeal the French judge's scoring that played a major role in Team USA's Madison Chock and Evan Bates losing the ice dance gold medal to France's Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron. "There has been a lot of thoughtful, and at times emotional, discussion about the ice dance competition in Milan," USFS CEO Matt Farrell said in a statement to USA Today Sports on Sunday. In Wednesday's free dance, one judge, Jezabel Dabouis, favored Beaudry and Cizeron by nearly eight points over Chock and Bates in the free dance. The margin was so large that if her score were removed from the equation, Chock and Bates would have won gold. "People need to understand what they're cheering for and be able to feel confident in the sport that they're supporting."
