World Champion ice dancer Benjamin Agosto has found a new home in Pennsylvania. Following a disappointing fourth place finish in the 2007-2008 World Championships, Agosto and his partner Tanith Belbin made a dramatic change. They left their training ground of Michigan as well as their coach of ten years Igor Shpilband and moved to Philadelphia. They now train at Ice Works, an arena in Aston, Pennsylvania under legendary coaching duo Natalia Linichuk and Gennadi Karponossov. The change paid off, as they won the silver medal at the 2008-2009 World Championships. They are now currently preparing for the 2010 Winter Olympics, having won the silver medal in 2006.
