Ice dancers Irina Lobacheva and Ilia Averbukh of Russia perform their
compulsory dance at the World Figure Skating Championships in
Washington, March 25, 2003. A new judging system, implemented in the
wake of the 2002 Olympic scandal, made its world championship debut at
the event. Judges operate anonymously and their marks are posted in
