MILAN — With her panda bear in her hand, 5-year-old Madison Chock made a proclamation to her cousin.
“I'm going to go to the Olympics!” she exclaimed.
Very ambitious of a child, and certainly got a laugh out of parents Wes and Barbara Chock. They didn’t have an idea the enjoyment they shared over figure skating that began “way before she was born” would eventually capture the attention of their daughter. She had just started learning to skate and was already making declarations to family.
But flash forward about 28 years later and it’s clear it wasn’t some young, wishful thought. That determined, fierce nature displayed on the ice has always been there.
Chock said she was going to go to the Olympics. Well, how about four of them?
