In the 1991–92 season, Usova/Zhulin won silver at the 1992 European Championships in Lausanne, Switzerland and then captured their first Olympic medal, bronze, at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France. Usova/Zhulin ended their season with silver at the 1992 World Championships in Oakland, California. They seemed to be threatening for victory at the Worlds, with three first place ordinals ahead of Klimova &amp; Ponomarenko in the original dance, but a fall in the free dance ended any hopes. They moved with Dubova from Moscow to Lake Placid, New York in September 1992.
