It’s Free Dance night in Milano Cortina - the final skate, the final scores, and the moment ice dance goes all-in on performance, connection, and pressure-proof precision, with Fear and Gibson right on the cusp on a medal.

Team GB has two teams ready to take the ice:

Lilah Fear & Lewis Gibson
Phebe Bekker & James Hernandez

Today’s schedule (UK time)

6:30pm — Ice Dance Free Dance

Team GB: Fear/Gibson + Bekker/Hernandez

Where things stand after the Rhythm Dance

The Rhythm Dance has set the stage — and Team GB is right where they want to be heading into the final segment:

Lilah Fear & Lewis Gibson sit 4th on 85.47, firmly in the medal fight going into the Free Dance.
Phebe Bekker & James Hernandez are 16th with a season’s best 72.46, with everything to skate for tonight as they chase a big climb up the standings.

With margins razor-thin at this level, the Free Dance is where teams can make the biggest statement — and where the final order is decided.

What Team GB will bring to the Free Dance

Lilah Fear & Lewis Gibson — Scottish medley

Fear and Gibson’s Free Dance is a powerful Scottish medley that leans into big atmosphere, sharp detail, and storytelling — a programme that pays tribute to Lewis’ heritage and is built to hit hard in an Olympic arena.

Phebe Bekker & James Hernandez — Romeo + Juliet

Bekker and Hernandez head into the finale with their sweeping Romeo + Juliet Free Dance — dramatic, romantic, and packed with musical moments that let them build from intensity to full emotional release.
