Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin put Russia back on the map in Ice Dancing, as they won their first ice dancing gold at the World Championships.

Domnina and Shabalin’s performance, which was to Khatchaturian’s “Spartacus,” may not have been the most emotional dance of the night, but it was a difficult program and the Russians delivered.

The music for their free dance was Puccini's "Tosca," and after they flew across the ice drawing loud applause for synchronized turns and lifts that seemed geometrically impossible, Belbin grabbed Agosto around the neck, tears in her eyes. Belbin and Agosto also finished second at the 2005 world championships before taking third in 2006 and 2007 and fourth in 2008. Agosto has suffered through ... Read Full Story
