It hasn't quite sunk in yet, but we feel so blessed to be here. It's been a whirlwind of a couple weeks, but we're just so grateful. Mr. CHARLIE WHITE: Yeah, very surreal. You know, amazing. All the hard work we put into it paid off at the Olympics, so we're very excited. MATT LAUER: But, you know, when you say all the hard work you've put into it, I was reading, you guys have been training together for like 13 years. You were like seven and eight. VIEIRA: You were little. LAUER: And I understand when you first started, you were so shy, you couldn't even look in Charlie's eyes, and now you're silver medalists in Olympics. Ms. DAVIS: Yeah. LAUER: That's quite a road to travel. Ms. DAVIS: Thank you. Yeah, it's been a crazy 13 years. A lot of things have changed since then. You know, I can finally look at him in the eye, but, yeah, you know, it's been quite a road. And to do it together has been very rewarding, so. ANN CURRY: Hm. AL ROKER reporting: What about these lifts that you guys--you guys have worked on revamping them. It must not be too painful for you, Meryl, but do you think about what it means for Charlie as he's standing there? Ms. DAVIS: Yeah, you know, his wounds are visible. So it's very challenging, but it's a lot of fun, and hopefully, it pays off on the ice, so. CURRY: Well, how do you say, `Oh, no, I'm sorry, Charlie, I don't want to do this'? I mean, do you actually--what goes through your mind... Mr. WHITE: No. CURRY: ...when you--that happens? Mr. WHITE: No. CURRY: No? Ms. DAVIS: You just have to go for it, really. CURRY: Yeah. Mr. WHITE: Definitely. Ms. DAVIS: Yeah. It's all or nothing, so it's a lot of fun to do. CURRY: Meantime, you two, as I understand, were inspired by Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto, who won silver in Torino. Ms. DAVIS: True, yeah. CURRY: And they're here this morning. Ms. DAVIS: Yes. CURRY: What does it mean to you to be in their company, to be inspired by them and to see them this morning, because they're actually just around the corner here. Ms. DAVIS: Yeah, it means the world. Four years ago we were watching them in Torino and you know, we were sitting at home thinking someday we could be there, and four years later, here we are. And it just means the world and we're so proud to represent our country along with Tanith and Ben, and so many other amazing teammates that we have. So we're just really proud. VIEIRA: And you also train with Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue, who--the gold medalists. So for you obviously, emotional as well, because they're your friends. Mr. WHITE: Absolutely. We--you know, we train with them every day on the ice. We see what they go through. We've been through so much together. We've come up through the ranks at the same time. We've been competing against them forever and, you know, they're just the greatest people and they're great Canadians and they're great for the sport of ice dancing. VIEIRA: And do you--do they make you better as skaters? Mr. WHITE: Definitely. Yeah, they push us every day. It's great, you know. They're amazingly talented and every day we see them we get better and better. LAUER: You guys are both juniors, right... Ms. DAVIS: Yeah. VIEIRA: Yeah. LAUER: ...at the University of Michigan. Mr. WHITE: Yes. LAUER: So what would be better in the overall scheme of things, the silver medal or Big 10 championship and a trip to the Rose Bowl? VIEIRA: Uh-oh. Mr. WHITE: That is a really tough call. LAUER: Be careful, there are a lot of people back in Michigan watching this. Mr. WHITE: If we could get--if we could get Final Four and Big 10 championships... LAUER: OK. ROKER: There you go. Mr. WHITE: ...that might be worth it. VIEIRA: Close call, yeah. And I know you love hockey. Are you going to stick around for the hockey games? Mr. WHITE: Absolutely. Very excited about the hockey. I mean, we're from Detroit, so we've got the Red Wings and all the players that are going to be on their respective teams. It's going to be really exciting. 09:15:07 Special Edition: Today In Vancouver: Figure Skaters Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto Discuss Ice Dancing Fashions and Their Careers After Vancouver EJ 09:15:32 (:42) INT VANCOUVER, CANADA (NBC Olympics) Shots of US Olympic figure skaters Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto performing their ice dance routine.

Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto join Ann Curry live in Grouse Mountain in Vancouver, Canada. ANN CURRY: Good morning, both of you, once again. Ms. TANITH BELBIN: Good morning. Mr. BEN AGOSTO: Good morning. CURRY: Before we get to these fashions, let's talk about something you tweeted last night. You tweeted "last dance tonight." That was before your final performance. A lot of people are reading into that, Tanith. What did you mean by that? Any hidden meaning? Ms. BELBIN: Well, no hidden meaning, really. This could have very well been our last competitive skate together. We've been competing together for 11 years now. We've done two Olympic Games, and we feel like we're--we've really reached a great point in our careers and something sort of clicked in us this past season that maybe it's time for us to consider retirement. CURRY: You dance so well. You are so beautiful. Why would you think of stopping Ben? Mr. AGOSTO: Well, you know, you don't need to call Donna Summers yet to sing for us because we're still going to be dancing together. It just might be our last competition. So, I mean, we still--we love skating together and we love performing for the audience, and we love trying to experiment with different ideas on the ice. So we'll still be skating together, that's for sure. CURRY: So along with this kind of elation that this is over, is it kind of you're wearing, you're feeling a little of hmm, what's going to happen next in terms of this? It's a little bit of a burden then? Ms. BELBIN: This is a scary time, I think, in any athlete's life where you have to face transition. Thankfully, we've had a lot of great success at a very young age and now we're at a point where we still feel energetic and young enough where we can sort of regroup and refocus and try a new chapter. So hopefully, we'll have as much success in the next portion of our lives. CURRY: Hm. Ms. BELBIN: But we really want to sort of see what else is out there. CURRY: I have a feeling you will have success in the next portion of your lives. Ms. BELBIN: Thank you. Mr. AGOSTO: Thanks. CURRY: The greatest chapters may be yet to come. And maybe they won't involve wearing very skimpy, funny looking outfits, right? Ms. BELBIN: That would be great. I've been cold for 12 years. CURRY: No, I don't want to be negative but you know that there was a lot of attention this year because one of--as you say, one of the original topics was folk dancing. Ms. BELBIN: Mm-hmm. CURRY: So as a result, there were some costumes, I'm not saying yours, but some costumes that were out there. Would you agree? Ms. BELBIN: Yeah. I mean, ice dancing has always walked that fine line, you know. You want to get attention but you don't want to distract from your performance. And with the folk dances, you really got a lot of very interesting costumes because people were trying to dig up very authentic costumes that were replicas of what the folk dancers would wear of each country. And maybe it's something that most American audiences had never seen before. They've never seen the folk dance of, in our case, Moldova, or in the Russians' case, an aboriginal folk dance. CURRY: Hm. Ms. BELBIN: But definitely you're trying to pay tribute to the country whose dance you're doing, so you certainly don't want to be offensive. CURRY: Mm-hmm. And that did happen. There was some concern about the Russian costumes at one point, is that right, Ben? Mr. AGOSTO: Well, yeah. I think, you know, that some people did find it very offensive, and it's unfortunate, because everybody works so hard and we all want to do justice to the folk dance we're trying to portray. And I think unfortunately because we only have two and a half minutes to portray that dance, maybe it ends up being a little bit of a caricature because you have to try to get something out there and you don't have very much time. CURRY: But to what degree do the costumes really play in the--in the score? Ms. BELBIN: In ice dancing, it does play a pretty big role in the end, because, well, first of all, you can have deductions if you have a costume that falls apart of pieces of it fall on the ice, you can have a one-point deduction. And I think that performancewise, for example, I think Tessa and Scott are a great example. They did a pure, beautiful, romantic program and they wore very simple, clean costumes, and it allowed you to focus on their facial expressions and their connection. CURRY: Hm. Ms. BELBIN: I think that's a great example of where costumes really played a big role and made it work for them. And on the other hand, you can have times when people have programs where their costumes are so elaborate, that's the only thing that anyone comments on when it's finished and you don't even remember how they skated. CURRY: Mm-hmm. So will you, as you look to now, thinking about what's coming up ahead, what are some of the options that you're considering? Mr. AGOSTO: Well, first of all, one of the things we're really excited about is "Stars on Ice" is coming up. We're going to start in April, and we're very excited to finally be full cast members. We've done guest appearances in the past and now we're going to be full cast members and really take part in that tour. And you know, it's going to be a lot of fun. CURRY: What's the feeling when you're out there on the ice? Because watching you, you are so beautiful. It looks so effortless. What's the emotion, the feeling in you? Ms. BELBIN: Effortless would definitely not be a word I would to describe my feelings out there. But it definitely is enjoyable. And I think that Ben and I, you know, we said to each other right before we took the ice each time here in Vancouver, let's do this for ourselves, because we spend every single minute nearly every single day together, and trying to create special moments at just the right time, like at an Olympic Games. So it's really just this year a matter of trying to create a celebration of what we've been able to accomplish in our careers. CURRY: Well, it's been a lot. Tanith, thank you so much. Ms. BELBIN: Thank you. CURRY: Ben, thank you so much. Mr. AGOSTO: Thank you. CURRY: You've been a delight to watch. Mr. AGOSTO: Thank you. Ms. BELBIN: Thank you. CURRY: Thank you for all these years. 09:24:08 Special Edition: Photos Of Olympic Highlights From Getty Images STILLS (Getty Images) Photo of a sunrise. Photo of skiers in competition.
