Their silver medal at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Torino, Italy was the first ever achieved by a team from the United States. Through their many accomplishments, which include three World Championship medals and five U.S. titles, they've transformed U.S. ice dancing from afterthought to center stage.

One could say Tanith and Ben are the quintessential American team—a combination of the traditional work ethic and the diversity that makes this country thrive. Born and raised in Canada, Tanith moved to the U.S. in search of a partner. She became a naturalized citizen shortly before the Olympic Winter Games and represents her country with the special pride of an immigrant grateful for the opportunities the U.S. provides. To succeed in ice dancing, a couple must share a dedication to training and also know how to work collaboratively. The many successes Tanith and Ben have achieved at such young ages—more than five years younger than the gold and bronze medalists in Torino—show great chemistry and tireless preparation pay off.

Tanith also knows how to attract attention off the ice. The December 2009 issue of Men's Health Magazine named her "America's hottest Olympic Athlete" and in 2006, Tanith was voted ESPN.com's "Hottest Female Athlete." She's also gotten some great reviews as an on-air contributing reporter for Good Morning America as well as the ESPY Awards. When she's not skating, you can find Tanith spending time with her family, friends and pets, or doing the things she loves, like bike riding, cooking and shopping.

In 2008, Tanith and Ben relocated from Detroit to the Philadelphia area to train with 1980 Olympic Winter Games gold medalists Natalia Linichuk and Gennadi Karponosov. They are committed to making another mark on U.S. ice dancing history by winning gold in Vancouver in 2010.
