Maia and Alex Shibutani are American ice dancers. They are the two-time 2018 Olympic bronze medalists, three-time World medalists (silver in 2016, bronze in 2011 and 2017), the 2016 Four Continents champions, and two-time U.S. national champions (2016, 2017). The Shibutanis have also won six titles on the Grand Prix series and stood on the podium at 14 consecutive U.S. Championships, at five levels including eight as seniors. They are two-time members of the US Olympic team, competing at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia and the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. In 2018, the siblings became the first ice dancers who are both of Asian descent to medal at the Olympics (winning bronze in both team figure skating and the individual ice dancing event). They are the second sibling duo to ever share an ice dancing Olympic medal, and the first from the United States. The Shibutani siblings are often referred to by their nickname the Shib Sibs.
