Biography of Tanith Belbin

Tanith Belbin (born July 11, 1984 in Kingston, Ontario) is a Canadian-American figure skater. She holds dual-citizenship.

Her partner in ice dance figure skating competitions is Benjamin Agosto. Though they earned silver medals for the United States at the 2005 World Figure Skating Championships, the pair feared they could not compete at the 2006 Winter Olympics as Belbin was not yet an American citizen.

However, by a special act of Congress on December 28, 2005, which President George W. Bush signed on December 31, 2005, Belbin became a naturalized citizen, effectively making her able to compete for the United States at the 2006 Winter Olympics. In January 2006, the pair won their third consecutive national title and qualified for the Olympics.

At the Turin Olympics, they won silver in ice dancing, the highest Olympic result of any American pair in the discipline, and the first American ice dancers to win an Olympic medal in 30 years.
