Michael and Marie-France Dubreuil won the 'Thin Ice' competition Sunday night on ABC after two days of competition at MGM Grand at Foxwoods, Connecticut. They take home $60,000 in prize money.

'Thin Ice' brought together the world's greatest pro figure skaters to compete live in the all new TV show on ABC. The show ran over two days and was co-hosted by Emmy award winning talk show host Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Kurt Browning, four-time world champion Canadian figure skater.

The new competitive show put 10 of the world's best figure skaters head to head. The show was live from the MGM Grand at Foxwoods. Judging of the competitors was split with 50 percent coming from the viewers voting on www.abc.com and the other 50 percent coming from the panel of judges. Michael and Marie-France received one 10 and two 9s in Friday night's performance and all three 10s Sunday night.

The three judges were Kristi Yamaguchi, Olympic gold medalist and Season Six winner of "Dancing with the Stars," Dick Button, two-time Olympic gold medalist and the voice of figure skating on American television for 45 years and Olympic gold medalist Katarine Witt. There were 12 competitors from four different skating disciplines, ladies, men, pairs and dance. The aim was to entertain and each person was not paired with their current partner for their two minute piece on the ice.

Featured professional skating pairs were Michael Weiss and Marie-France Dubreuil, the winners; Stephane Lambiel and Shizuka Arakawa, who finished third; David Pelletier and Elena Berezhnaya, who finished fifth; Patrice Lauzon and Jamie Sale, who finished fourth; and John Zimmerman and Shae-Lynn Bourne, who finished second.

Prize money for the event totaled $220,000
