Maia and Alex Shibutani

Maia and Alex's career started in 2005 with a silver medal in the juvenile ice dance at the US Junior Olympics during their first year competing in the sport. They have won many important titles since then and have made a name for themselves to the outside world. They have been 3-time champions in the US Championships, and made a historic debut, becoming the first ice dance team to medal at both their Grand Prix events and their first US Ice Dance team.
Maia and Alex have a sibling youtube channel entitled "ShibSibs Productions." Through their channel they show their fans and viewers their daily activities and how Maia and Alex deal with each other throughout all their intense training day in and day out. Their videos also include footage of them ice skating and demonstrating their different routines to show their viewers. These siblings do it all, and want their fans to be with them along their ice journey every step of the way. Their ice skating career has so far taken them to many championships that they have won and will continue to do so for awhile longer. The dynamic duo is just getting started and doesn't plan on stopping their dream anytime soon.
