Answer
Evan Bates and Madison Chock won the Four Continents championships for the first time in 2019. This was a significant achievement for the pair, as they had been competing together for several years and had never previously won a major international competition. Their victory came in a close contest, with Bates and Chock defeating the Russian pair of Alexander Smirnov and Ekaterina Bobrova by just 0.12 points.
