On Saturday at the 2016 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in St. Paul, Minnesota, siblings Maia and Alex Shibutani won their first U.S. ice dance title, besting defending champs Madison Chock and Evan Bates.

Performing their free skate to Coldplay's "Fix You," the five-time medalists finally broke through and nabbed gold with a final score of 190.14. Chock and Bates finished second with 186.93.
Here's video of their rousing, gold-winning performance:
And the end there, it's clear they know they crushed it. Because they did.
The Shibutanis -- affectionately known as the "Shib Sibs" -- were U.S. silver medalists in 2011 and 2012, then took bronze in 2013 and 2014, then finished again with the silver last year. And now they're gold medalists.
I'm such a fan of these two. Congratulations, Maia and Alex.
