Never saw a video of this couple before though have known for a long time they won the bronze at the 1976 Olympics. Despite Dick Buttons' comments about the "theatrical" style of the Russians the latter definitely pushed ice dancing forwards. The Americans' costuming is a direct descendant of the British style. Very quaint and outdated.

I love this routine and have watched it dozens of times. Wish I could see this pair at the roller disco! :D
I had forgotten how good this couple was. Excellent!
I knew Colleen in high school. Such a lovely person and a lovely skater.
I remember seeing this when I was 8 yrs. old. Fell in love with skating after this.
Reminds of my childhood in Moscow.. So many centuries ago, it so seems to me.. Alas.. I cry for myself
