2009 Worlds Ice Dance FD | Domnina & Shabalin, Belbin & Agosto, Virtue & Moir, Davis & White

Summary: The 2009 World Championships Free Dance brought the ice dance competition to a dramatic conclusion as the world's leading teams delivered an outstanding evening of skating in Los Angeles. Russia's Oksana Domnina (Оксана Домнина) and Maxim Shabalin (Максим Шабалин) overcame a season disrupted by Shabalin's recurring knee injury to secure their first World title with a commanding Spartacus performance. The United States placed two teams in the top four as Tanith Belbin and Benjamin Agosto earned the silver medal, while Meryl Davis and Charlie White narrowly missed the podium by just 0.04 points. Canada's Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir claimed bronze with an innovative and emotionally charged Pink Floyd program. The strength of the event extended well beyond the medalists. France's Nathalie Péchalat and Fabian Bourzat delivered an entertaining circus-themed free dance to finish fifth overall, while reigning European champions Jana Khokhlova (Яна Хохлова) and Sergei Novitski (Сергей Новицкий) slipped to sixth after receiving a deduction in the free dance. Great Britain's Sinead Kerr and John Kerr recorded a career-best seventh-place finish with their distinctive contemporary program, and Italy's Federica Faiella and Massimo Scali recovered well from a costly error in the original dance despite Faiella competing through illness to place eighth. Combining athleticism, innovation and compelling storytelling, the free dance provided a fitting finale to the 2009 World Championships ice dance competition. --- HD50fps, British coverage (commentators: Chris Howarth, Simon Reed).
