Sean Rabbitt

Sean has been selected to appear with a group of elite skaters in the opening ceremonies of the 2009 ISU WORLD FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPS to be held in Los Angeles, March 22-29. It is, indeed, an honor and privilege to be chosen to be a part of these ceremonies for the International Skating Union's most prestigious competition. It is, also, a complement and testimonial to Sean's dedication, talent and skating ability.

This event, commonly referred to as the "Worlds", is an annual competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union. It is considered to be the most prestigious of the ISU Championships, and will feature the most elite figure skaters from around the globe contending for the title of World Champion. The ISU conducts three other annual figure skating competitions designated "ISU Championships". They are the European Figure Skating Championships, the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships, and the World Junior Figure Skating Championships).

The only title more coveted by the skaters than a World title is the Olympic title, but a World title is generally considered to be the highest honor in figure skating. World skaters compete in the categories of men's singles, ladies' singles, pairs, and ice dancing.
