CAREER HIGHLIGHTS• 2006 Olympic silver medalists • Four-time World medalists• Five-time U.S. champions • Three-time Four Continents champions

SKATING NOTESBelbin began to skate at age 2 because her mother, Michele, is a figure skating coach and costume designer ... Was previously coached by Paul Wirtz in Canada (1995-98) ... Had five dance partners before teaming with Agosto ... Agosto was formerly coached by two-time U.S. ice dancing champion Susie Wynne ... Their second-place finish at the 2005 World Championships made the duo the highest-placing U.S. ice dance team in 30 years and the first U.S. dance team to medal at the competition in 20 years ... They were awarded perfect 6.0s for presentation in the free dance at the 2005 U.S. Championships ... Overall at the event they were awarded fourteen 6.0s, placing them third in the record books for 6.0s at the event ... With their silver at the 2006 Olympic

In 2002 Congress changed the rules to allow EB-1s to apply for their visas and Green Cards at the same time, shortening the time frame one waits for U.S. citizenship ... Because Belbin began her process before 2002, the new rules did not apply to her ... Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.) introduced an amendment to an appropriations bill in the fall of 2005 to aid individuals in Belbin’s position who applied for EB-1s before 2002 ... The amendment passed through Congress on Dec. 22, 2005 ... Belbin received her U.S. citizenship on Dec. 31, 2005 ...

Team organizes the “Tanith and Ben’s Home for the Holidays” ice show that raises funds to benefit the Karmanos Cancer Institute. One of Belbin’s hobbies is auto-crossing (car racing) ... Values her family above all ... Most prized possession is her American passport ... Is signed with Ford NY Modeling Agency ... Biggest life-defining moment was the passing of her grandfather ... Wants to pursue a career in broadcast journalism after her skating career, with hopes of hosting a news/entertainment show ... What sets her apart from others is her sense of humor, and she says most people don’t know she’s “just one of the guys” ... Has two dogs named Zigen and Maggie, and two cats named Spanky and Sierra ... Favorite country to travel to is Australia ... Has one older brother, Lucas ... Mother designs her skating dresses.Agosto is originally from Chicago, Ill. ... Moved to Detroit in June 1998 to skate with Belbin ... Graduated with honors from Groves High School in June 2000 ...
