Before their match in South Korea, the Shibutani siblings spoke to Entertainment Weekly to explain why they chose to use music from Coldplay as well as other pop culture references for their routines.
According to Alex, they decided to skate to Coldplay's "Fix You" since they were very determined to return to the World stage after the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi because they want to demonstrate a very personal story in their routine.
"Maia and I are very different to begin with from the rest of the ice dance field because we are brother and sister... so, by telling our personal story, a story of us trying to fix ourselves following some growing pains after our initial success in 2011, we had this tremendous year where we sort of relaunched our career in a lot of ways," the 26-year-old figure skater stated.
Winter game fans are also expecting to see the Freestyle Skiing event on Monday, Feb. 19, which will be aired in the US on NBCSN.
