Summary

Welcome to the family, Alex and Maia Shibutani! Our fourth and fifth Maher siblings are absolute legends who have earned two Olympic medals, three World Championship medals, and a spot in the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame- and that’s not all. After a seven year break where they became best-selling authors, they’ve laced up their skates again for one of the most anticipated comebacks in the sport. They are the first ice dancers of Asian descent to medal at the Olympics, and the first sibling duo from the U.S. to do it. www.youtube.com/@HouseofMaher K18: Shop K18’s molecular repair mask at Sephora or get 10% off your first purchase with code MAHER at https://www.k18hair.com/ Perplexity: Ask Perplexity anything at ⁠https://pplx.ai/house-of-maher⁠!
