- Love is in the air at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
It's rare to become an Olympic Athlete,
but it's even rarer to compete
alongside your significant other.
And these couples are giving a whole new meaning
to the term "relationship goals".
This is especially true among figure skaters.
A handful of them are bringing the heat as couples,
both on and off the ice this Olympics.
For US Olympians Madison Chock and Evan Bates,
Beijing marks their third Olympics.
Their first Olympics as a real-life couple
was the 2018 Pyeongchang games.
But they didn't make the podium that year.
In Beijing, the couple returned as co-captains of the team.
- For our pre-competition little chat,
we turn to each other
and we always tell each other that we love each other
and to just trust ourselves and trust our training,
and that's exactly what we did today.
- On February 7th, they put on a dazzling performance
in the free dance with a personal best score,
and helped Team USA win the silver medal
in the figure skating team event.
Japanese ice dancer Misato Komatsubara
and her American-born husband Tim Koleto
first teamed up in 2016.
Soon after, they began a romantic relationship
and got married a year later.
They're called Team KoKo among their fans.
The pair earned a bronze medal from the team event in Beijing.
Navigating romantic relationships
in the world of top figure skating can be complicated.
American ice dancer Madison Hubbell
and her skating partner Zachary Donohue
have been twizzling together since 2011.
They dated for about two and a half years before breaking up.
But the duo decided to stick together on the ice.
- I think more than anything, it's a testament
to our partnership.
We've put a lot of time into really growing
as a team and as partners.
- Hubbell and Donohue took the top spot
in the team events rhythm dance at the Beijing Winter Games.
Hubbell is now engaged to Spanish ice dancer Adrian Diaz.
They began dating in 2014.
Though they are a couple off the ice,
they've been long-time rivals ever since they were teenagers.
They will compete against each other
in the ice dance category in Beijing.
Regardless of how they perform in the Winter Games,
all these Olympic couples have struck gold
in the game of love.
