If you count the Hall of Fame induction, Shpilband was a triple winner this year. From the USFS Press release (my bold):
"The Coach(es) of the Year Award went to Marina Zoueva and Igor Shpilband"
"Zoueva and Shpilband were double winners, as they also took home the Paul McGrath Choreographer of the Year Award."
"Hall of Fame Inductees: Lori Nichol, Igor Shpilband"
I was impressed with Shpilband's humility as he received each award. Zoueva was prevented from being at the conference by bad weather (she was in CO,) and Shpilband expressed his regret that she could not be present, in addition to giving her all credit due. He spoke about his defection and how much American coaches had helped him integrate into the sport in our country. Igor Shpilband is now, quite happily, a US citizen.
