PERSONAL NOTES
Earned the 2006 All-American Scholar Award and was a nominee
for 2007 Young Leaders of America ... Recently raised more than
$400 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society ... Has skated in shows
supporting Hurricane Katrina, Blades Against AIDS and Edge Out Of
Cancer ... Also works on food drives for her church and attended Buddy
Bear Camp for disabled children ... Volunteered at Harlan Elementary
School to present the sport of figure skating on career day ... Favorite
country to travel to is Italy because the sights are beautiful and the
shopping is amazing ... What sets her apart from others is her ability
to hit more curbs than anyone else while driving, tripping while walking
and her obnoxious laugh ... Prizes her faith above all ... Says not
many people know she still watches the Disney Channel ... Biggest lifedefining moments were sending a disabled child to camp and receiving
a standing ovation at the U.S. Championships after her short program
... Would like to meet speedskater Joey Cheek because he is one of her
favorite athletes who donates some of his earnings from the Olympic
Winter Games to charity, and Beyonce because “she is an amazing
artist, person and diva” ... Listens to the “Dream Girls” soundtrack, MC
Supreme, North Side and many more ... Motto is “There’s no trying;
there is just doing.”
SKATING NOTES
Goals for the season are to perform more clean programs at
competitions ... Began skating at age 6 because her father and brother
took her to Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia ... Her brother, Ed, continually
beat her in races, so she kept skating to be faster than he was.

Belbin and Agosto headlined the spring 2006 Marshalls SkateFest in Detroit ... Were
featured in a two-page spread for Marshalls in the March 10, 2006, issue of US Weekly
magazine ... Starred in an Acuvue Oasys commercial for contact lenses ... Team was singled
out in a speech made by President Bush on May 17, 2006, during the Olympians’ White
House visit ... Belbin, originally from Canada, moved to the United States from Kirkland,
Quebec, in 1998 ... Applied for a visa for “Aliens of Extraordinary Ability” (EB-1) in 2000
after creating an impressive profile of figure skating results with Agosto ... Got her Green
Card two years later ... 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 ... In February 2005, Belbin and Agosto organized and skated
in Skate Aid for Tsunami Relief, an ice skating show to benefit the tsunami relief fund for
Southeast Asia, and raised $40,000 ... 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 ... Hobbies include playing the
guitar (including blues and Flamenco), scuba diving, horseback riding, rock climbing and mountain
biking ... Also loves to go salsa dancing ... First concert ever was the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
... Best Halloween costume was The X-Men’s Wolverine ... Would like to meet Bill Clinton to tell
him he misses him ... Recorded the voice of a villain in a video game; has always wanted to be the
goofy voice of some cartoon character ... Loves apple cider and Super Mario Brothers.
