The Torvill and Dean Night Thread

On February 14th 1984, at the Sarajevo Winter Olympics, British Ice Dancers Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean skated to near perfection in the Ice Dancing Pairs Fee Skate. The  routine was set to  Ravel’s “Bolero”, and was choreographed by themselves; something that was rare back then, and is unheard of today. The pair received twelve perfect 6.0s and six 5.9s, including all perfect 6.0s for Artistic Merit, for the highest score for a single routine.
