More about Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue from excerpts from wikipedia, in italics, below:
Hubbell/Donohue announced heading into the 2021–22 season that it would be their last before retirement.[78] They won the 2021 U.S. Classic as their opening assignment, which for this season was not part of the Challenger series.[79]
On the Grand Prix, Hubbell/Donohue began at 2021 Skate America, competing against primary domestic rivals Chock/Bates. They won both segments of the competition to take the gold medal, their fourth consecutive at the event, and prevailing over Chock/Bates by 1.31 points. Donohue remarked afterward on his “overwhelming gratitude, being our last Skate America and four consecutive wins for us, it means quite a lot, especially to be able to have a live audience” following the pandemic restrictions in the preceding year and a half.[78][80] They were initially assigned to the 2021 Cup of China as their second Grand Prix, but following its cancellation they were reassigned to the 2021 Gran Premio d’Italia.[81] With training partners Papadakis/Cizeron also assigned to the event, Hubbell/Donohue were the presumptive silver medalists, and finished second in both segments of the competition despite a late-program flub on their free dance choreographic lift. Hubbell joked afterward “we made a mistake at the end but sometimes you jump in the air and you hit your partner in the crotch”[82] Their results qualified them to the Grand Prix Final, but it was subsequently cancelled due to restrictions prompted by the Omicron variant.[83]
Seeking to defend their title at the 2022 U.S. Championships, Hubbell/Donohue placed second in the rhythm dance due to errors, ending up 2.55 points behind Chock/Bates. They went on to win the free dance, but remained in second place overall. Hubbell said “we wanted to end our career here at the U.S. Championships with a performance that felt present and we’re both very satisfied with how we skated. I think stepping off the ice, we knew we were content with what we put out there.”[84] They were subsequently named to the American Olympic team.[85]
Hubbell/Donohue began the 2022 Winter Olympics as the American entries in the rhythm dance segment of the Olympic team event. They scored a new personal best of 86.56 to win the segment, securing ten points for the American team and notably prevailing over reigning World champions Sinitsina/Katsalapov of the Russian team.[86] Donohue, pleased with the results, said that “opening up our Olympics this way is really an honor.”[87]
