MADISON, CT — Madison's Zachary Donohue, now 31, first hit the ice at age 11. This week, the celebrated ice dancer with his partner Madison Hubbell are competing in the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
On Friday, the ice dance team duo "set a new personal best," as they took the rhythm dance portion of the team event in Beijing, NBC Sports reported.
The Hubbell/Donohue duo have to date won two silvers and a bronze at the World Championships; three national titles; and an appearance at the PyeongChang 2018 Games, where they placed fourth – just 4.90 points from a bronze medal, according to NBC Sports.
