When Maia Shibutani and ice-dancing partner (and brother) Alex won bronze at the 2018 Winter Olympics, they became the first ice dancers of Asian descent to medal at the Olympics. (PS: they were already the first to do it at the World Championships.) Their journey since has been a difficult one; in October 2019, a cancerous tumor was found on Maia's kidney, requiring surgery and a long recovery. The 26-year-old ice dancer says she's cancer-free now, and the siblings (and published authors of two children's books!) are working their way back to the ice.
