Americans Meryl Davis and Charlie White, Jr. won gold in the mixed ice dancing competition skating to the music of Scheherazade. This was the first time the United States won this event since it was added at the Olympic Winter Games Innsbruck 1976.

The glass-polycarbonate part of the Sochi prize medals symbolize the various cultures and ethnicities that make up the Russian Federation. The entire design represents the Sochi landscape with mountaintops reflecting the sun's rays to the beaches of the Black Sea.
