Tanith Belbin and Benjamin Agosto - A Fan Site

Tanith Belbin and Benjamin Agosto are the Junior World Champions and two-time United States silver medalists in ice dance. After being matched by coaches Igor Shpilband and Liz Coates in the summer of 1998, Tanith, 17, and Ben, 19, earned success early, winning gold medals in their first two competitions together. At the 2000 U.S. Nationals, they won the junior dance title in their first try, and then went on to take the bronze medal at Junior Worlds, a rare feat for such a new team. The 2000-01 season was a triumph for these talented teenagers, who not only swept the Junior Grand Prix Series, winning both the Mexico and Germany events and the JGP Final, but also claimed the silver medal at their first Senior Nationals. This earned them a spot on both the Junior and Senior World teams, and also won them many new fans. In their first full season as seniors, 2001-02, Tanith and Ben proved their talent with solid finishes on the Grand Prix circuit, a second silver medal at U.S. Nationals, the Junior World title, and a 13th place finish at senior Worlds. So far, 2002-03 has been a breakthrough season for T&B, with two medals on the Grand Prix circuit and a strong fight for the U.S. title that culminated in a third silver medal. With an innate elegance, wonderful connection, and a presence that extends far beyond the boards, this charismatic couple definitely has that intangible It.
