40 years ago today and still breathtakingly beautiful
I was 13 watching it on TV with my family.
We were blown away
Stunning. My all time favorite. Nothing has ever compared, neither before or since this beautiful performance.
In 100 years from now, people will still be in awe of that flawless performance.
Absolutely. I agree.
The best moment I ever seen in Olympics. Still take my breath away in 2024.
I feel exactly the same. Unbeivably magnificent in every way. They ruined all other performances for me, in the best way possible.
YES!!!!
Love this. The music was played at my late step fathers funeral yesterday and whilst feeling so sad I sat and re imagined him watching this to make myself feel happier.
Probably the most magical five minutes anybody on this planet has ever seen...
YES !!!!!!
The official Olympic timer for this kinda skating didn’t start until you have both skates on the ice. Starting on the ground allowed them to make the most of the music and their routine without being penalised. It’s so innovative and definitely adds to the whole spectacle, it’s iconic really
And then James Acaster used that trope in Repertoire 30 years later
Yea, but now the ISU change the rules.
Yes, and notice how they subtly twist their skates before they kneel to rough up the ice a little so their knees don’t slip.
Dean also changed the musical composition to shorten it a little and make it flow better for dancing. I think he paid the Royal Philharmonic to record it. As I am sure you know Dean was very wealthy.
@@LEOLEO-mg5clI'm sure you're joking, Christopher Deans dad was a miner, and he was a policeman. 😅
Torvill and Dean hold the record for the highest scoring single Olympic Ice Dance performance for Bolero. They had twelve 6.0s and six 5.9s. I believe it was also the most watched live Olympic Ice Dance performance. It was mesmerizing and breathtakingly beautiful. The passion, sensuality and chemistry was unsurpassed. To all who think it was slow, look at how Dean's shirt billows. In order to cover the entire Olympic Ice surface, you must move fast. The speed creates the wind that creates the billowing. This is my favorite Olympic performance to music.
YES!!! There is a moment when you really get surprised how they are FLYING on the surface... It really does take your breath away... Beautiful moment... I remember it like it was yesterday.
This is the one skating performance of all time that I have never forgotten. The chills, all flow, I knew what I was watching was searing in my brain for all time. They move fast, but never hurry, no rushing, they pay attention to each moment. It is a fully mature performance that still stands out in a sea of mostly highly charged youth skating routines.
Still watching in 2024. Wonderful performance. Joy and exhilaration ❤😂
No matter how many times I've watched this performance over the years, I'm still entranced by it. I remember watching this performance on TV in 1984...I stood up from my comfy chair and clapped, and rarely do I feel such elation that it brings tears, but I did on that day. Thank you, Torvill & Dean 💗
Yes, tears, joy & the hair stands on end. The best ever & forever.
I watched this in 1984 and haven't seen it since. I was in two minds as to whether to view it, thinking that after so many years of 'improvements', they would surely look awkward compared to the best of today's skaters, but no - they set a standard that I don't think will ever be surpassed. I've never seen anyone else move in such perfect harmony with the music and with the ice. Faultless four-part harmony.
I nearly didn't watch them at the Olympics, but always been very glad I did. Watching this, all these years later, still has the same effect it did back then. At the time, I stood up and applauded, along with the audience. I still want to stand up and applaud. The Bolero music is so evocative. Never to be forgotten. Probably the best Ice Dance routine EVER!
It almost looks like it’s just one skater! Absolutely breathtaking.
There are moments when the mark is set and whatever comes after is judged by that. This was one of those moments.
Here I am September 2020. This performance never gets old. I saw it live (on TV) in 1984. I was so in awe of these two skaters, that I have never forgotten them.
Same here! 👍
Same for me. 🥰
Same here ❤
And me too
Same for me, too❤
Imagine, this is the one routine to the one composition that everyone who was alive at this time remembers. I’ve watched every Winter Olympics in the last 40 yrs, and i can’t remember any routine as memorable and iconic as this one.
I agree they are the best ever. In a sport where the Russians often, times dominate so much they must have looked on & thought if only they were Russian. Luckily, they are from GB.
I still adore this performance! I saw them in person at a dress rehearsal practice skate for Bolero. I was 10. I remember being stunned and had tears running down my face. I’d never seen anything so beautiful. The choreography was revolutionary at the time and still stands today ❤
Athleticism, grace, coordination, fluidity, sensuality, perfection...the greatest ice skating routine every accomplished. True artists in every sense of the word. They were beautiful to watch. The best ever.
So graceful! He lifts Jayne with so much ease, it’s as though she weighs nothing. I don’t think any other Olympic event was watched by so many people as this was, plus being from Nottingham same as them, we had a lot of additional pride.
It is your pride, privilege both. Regards
Everything about this is outstanding, the costumes , how it picks up speed, the expertise, the sensuality, the timing, every single movement was sublime. Never see this again. Incredible .
Brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it, it was my late mother's favorite routine. We must have seen it at least a hundred times.
Моя мама тоже была в восторге от этого выступления, ее нет уже 9лет
This was wveryone faverite for a time
Same 😢 Time flies
Ice dancing has changed so much. Now all about how fast you can go and the hardest moves, this has much more authenticism and innovation.
It's because a lot of the moves they did are now banned (laying on the ground/on the knees, holds with the legs, all are illegal).
People really always try to seek something negative. Torvill and Dean themselves were special and innovative at their time. They changed ice dancing forever and are one of the reasons why ice dance looks the way it does today. Also ice dancing is not only an art but also a sport. They need to rate it consistently and transparently. Of course that means that people will try to get the most points. However that isn’t bad because first of all artistic impression still is a big part of ice dancing and secondly these rating also increases the creativity and the innovation because athletes try to find harder moves and try to improve the technique or find new ways to do a certain step.
очень вяло катаются,нет сложных элементов,нет выбросов.
Like modern life!
@user-wl2oo8gy2p you joke? This is fast, smooth and complete. Very technical. There is a reason all over the world this is an ad the best ice dance of all time.
This is a remedy for depression, anxiety and insomnia. Absolutely breathtaking! One can go to bed, feeling as a human, one has witnessed one of the best phenomenon in the world. I bow to Torvill and Dean thousand times and still won't get tired.
well said
I just had LASIK and dry eye is common complication. After watching this, dry eye is cured. FYI I watched this live in '84 and it is still amazing. They rewrote the rule book,
Totally agree, This performance makes me cry every time I watch.
Yes, I have watched it on YOU TUBE so many times it is simply mesmerising in its beauty. I do not think anyone ever will ever beat this performance or this pairing. They dance as one.
@@timothyeaton6986 Wow. I envy you. I tend to think when I see the year of performance and what I was up to. For just amusement sake, I was holding my mom's hand and walking to go to my school in the second grade. You must cherish this moment. Regards
I saw this performance on tv that year - I was overwhelmed by its flawless beauty - the melding of bodies in a dance that inspired. They were the best of the best & a pleasure to watch - again.
40 years ago today!! Groundbreaking. Inspiring moving flawless.
They truly owned the ice that day. It still gives me goosebumps watching it 40 years later. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'm from Nottingham and lived on the Torvill and Dean estate - on Dean Close. I was alive when this happened, but I've never actually seen it until today. It's mesmerising.
before or since i have ever seen a pair move in unison like that. truly the most mesmerizing ice dance performance in history. i could never imagine a more fluid performance.
A timeless classic. Still the most beautiful ice routine I've ever seen. So iconic 🇬🇧
An absolute timeless piece, no one understands how much I love Jayne and Chris and this performance. Stunning 💜
34 years ago and it still looks so amazing!
40 years ago! I remember it so vividly! So so amazingly beautiful!
Almost 40 years later and that program is the epitome of perfection
As per Wikipedia, T&D hold the record for the highest scoring single performance in an Ice Dance Olympics program, i.e. Bolero. 12: 6.0s and 6 :5.9s ! It was, as you so well stated " the epitome of perfection"
Absolutely breath taking in 2018 as it was in 1984, nobody can touch the magic of Torvill and Dean
Two days ago, Dean's choerography did it, with Savchenko and Massot, the gold performance at the olympics 2018.
So so true saw it in 1984 life utter magic💫
ace sigma I agree, just watched it again, sheer magic!
Virtue and moir a close second
Неправда! Советские и российские пары равновелики!
Hard to believe it was 40 years ago today that Chris & Jayne won gold
Смотришь и смотришь на них - глаз не отвести , завораживают своим катанием , восточная вязь на льду !!! Олимпийские чемпионы с большой буквы!!!!
Помню, как смотрела этот танец первый раз, открыв рот... Прошло столько лет, и смотрю так же. Восхитительно до слёз!
Wow, every second of this is incredible to watch, so much passion, intricacy, precision, and pleasant surprises. And it all flows sooo nicely. No wonder they're legends.
Сколько красивых, необычных элементов, которые сейчас никто не исполняет, к сожалению... Шедевр! Великие фигуристы,браво!
This gave me goosebumps in real time when i waych it live
А зачем в танцах нужны акробатические трюки, объясните?
Back in 1984 I was sick of this, it was on the TV every 30 seconds and I was a grumbly 14 year old, watching it at close to 50 - its a beautiful thing.
Christopher Dean était hallucinant, quel danseur formidable !! Et quel chorégraphe hors-pair, j'aime toutes ses chorégraphies.
The référence !! The Best programme of dancing on ice for ever ! Christopher dean is a genious !
I watched this live in 1984. It was truly exquisite and magical.
2021 and still a classic. No flashy stuff just pure teamwork
Still every bit as mesmerising today as it was back then. Perfection!
There's something so emotional about their performance, and the music, it was magic to watch all those years ago, and it still is.
I remember those performance as if it was yesterday. I also remember being blessed to watch it when it occurred the very first time 40 years ago. And yes, one of the most stunning ice-dances I have ever seen if not the best at all. Very impressive, and like many other already stated not matched until now. Such a pleasure to watch the elegance, the skills to fly over the ice as if it were nothing. It seemes to be so easy but it was hard work to show it in such perfection. ❤😍🌺
Perfect ART then and now. Legends
The only skating routine seared into my memory. Perfection personified! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
When I first saw them on television - 1984 - I thought it was disappointing as I had heard so much about Torvill and Dean that I was sick of them. Seeing this again in 2020, I find it simply amazing. It isn't just the beauty and the skill of the routine perfectly matched with the music. The symmetry of their movements has me spellbound. Frobsey Frobsey is absolutely correct - they set the benchmark and just no one has gotten even close.
I was too first because I expected more jumps or similar things but now I really watched and it felt like you got spelbound by them, beautiful and dramatic.
@@teijaflink2226 : Jumps are for Pair Skating, which gives more emphasis to the athletic part. You don’t have loops and axes in Ice Dancing.😉
Remember watching this live at the time they did it! Nothing as beautiful as this had been seen before truly outstanding two people as one ! Real legends in my lifetime . No one quite like them ❤️
Yes, I remember it playing live in that year. Was this - the Gold Medal performance - their first international presentation of this dance and choreography? Or had they been staging it through the Olympic trials and stages?
Still so mesmerizing after all this time
Loved this performance
They are like birds in wonderful low flight . Perfect❤
Still give’s me goosebumps watching them. Perfection. Makes me proud to be British.
40 Years on and this still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Absolute perfection! Symmetrical in every way, fluidity was amazing. No wonder they received the perfect score which I don't think has been beaten since either.
How do you beat a perfect score?
Their swan like movement was captivating and never was beautiful music so well matched on ice.
On bad days I watch Torvil and Dean. The beauty soothes. They are remarkable then and now.
Очень здорово! Сегодня 2022 год....они опережали время, такой уровень. Просто искусство!
CHILLS! Their unison and selflessness has become a rare thing to witness!
I remember seeing this performance as a girl. Never knew who it was until now, but I remember being mesmerized at the time. Somehow, I don’t feel today’s skaters are achieving this kind pure dancing anymore. While they are indeed lovely to behold and spectacular to watch, there is something Torvill and Dean had that has been lost. Maybe I’m just old fashioned.
The unison is always broken instead carrying them through their moves.
Twinkle Toes
Not old fashioned. Ù have eye for splender.
Check out Papadakis/Cizeron
Classic.
So fluid and graceful, beautiful to watch.
Torvill &Dean's performance at the 1984 Olympics was spell binding & magical. Here are two perfect Ice Dancers who are able to dance as one. There is no other couple who comes close to them. In the Olympics where they got a Bronze that too should have been GOLD & they were simply robbed. Never mind the public know who are the best ever! I have watched many of their performances on UA-cam & have never seen a bad performance. They are just pure perfection. I doubt there is another couple who comes anywhere near as innovative or comes close to their perfection. x
помню как всей семьей смотрели по ТВ эти соревнования. мы были поражены скольжением
синхронносьбю
это был космос !!!
Да нет. На тех ОИ космос - это русский танец Натальи Бестемьяновой и Андрея Букина. Они были техничнее и артистичнее англичан. А этот танец англичан, на мой взгляд, проигрывает их танцу в 1983 году.
@@user-ui8zf2ri7wSound bitter
До сих пор мурашки по коже! Невероятный танец, который и сейчас смотрится свежо и современно. Просто браво!
Yep - remember this one. The best performance ever by two people on ice! Iconic
Seeing this performance from another angle was really fantastic. Again, just pure grace, majesty & pure perfection. I believe these two wonderful & talented Ice Dancers will live on forever in history as the best ever. The pairing of two people from the same County was incredible enough but to find they found in one another the perfect dance partner. What is the chance of that happening? Watching them dance on Ice which would not be easy to do is magical. The timing & movement is perfection. It is like watching two become one person. Thank you to Christopher & Jayne for all the joy you have brought so many people. xoxo
Есть классика в литературе, а это, классика в фигурном катании. Блестящая пара на все времена.
С такой скоростью выступают " Звезды на льду" не фигурсты. Торжество двойных стандартов- "Русский танец" Бестемьяновой и Букина был на космической высоте, чем этот танец для танцоров-пенсионеров.
@@user-ms5el5oq6r Танцы на льду - это не конькобежный спорт и гоняться за рекордами в секундах здесь не нужно .Любой специалист скажет ,что именно в медленом танце виден уровень владения коньком , плавность скольжения .А побегать на скорости по льду как конькобежцы могут многие
@@user-ms5el5oq6r танец этот останется в истории фигурного катания как образец блестящей хореографии и исполнения. Как впрочем и танцы в исполнении Бестемьяновой и Букиным. Две разные пары одинаково хороши, каждая по-своему
@@user-ms5el5oq6r действительно, выступление Бестемьяновой и Букина на тех ОИ было техничнее и артистичнее, чем у Торвилл и Дина. На мой взгляд постановка танца Климовой и Пономаренко также поинтереснее, чем у англичан. А у англичан произвольный танец в 1983 интереснее этой произвольной программы. То, что Наталья и Андрей в сезоне - 84 переросли английский дуэт, видно невооружённым взглядом.
Да , вы правы, это шедеврально.
Болеро, или Кумпарсита (если правильно) , Горшкова и Пахомовой, на веки вечные...
フィギュアスケートで「ボレロ」といえば、やはりこの演技✨2022年の今観ても感動します💓
40 years later, moved to tears. Again.
Bravo!
still remains the best partnering on ice I have ever watched. No tricks, just pure smoothness, passion, musicality and connectivity. Every time I listen to Ravel's Bolero, I can only think of Torvill and Dean. I will always be their fan.
I wasn't even alive for this, but I've watched it so many times since I discovered it... Because first, I love the piece they used, and second, its truly phenomenal. I personally think the only routine that even comes close to this is Virtue/Moir's 2018 short dance, or the Moulin Rouge! dance. Its something you can't tear your eyes away from...
Kate Reilly, I agree! Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir had that same magic about them as Jane & Chris.
I completely agree, phenomenal, have watched it so many times! Just wondering if you know what the piece of music is?
One of the best in the British ice skating and the best beautiful music ❤
And 34 years later he would choreograph Bruno massots and Aljona savchenkos astonishing and most beautiful routine to win the Olympics. Full circle
K M I didn’t know that.
Omg . I never knew
Unmatched passion and elegance, like two swans. It always gives me butterflies. Timeless beauty and perfection.
That performance captured the hearts of so many viewers, an amazing performance.
Легенда , красавцы , смотрела их выступление восхищаюсь, умницы
I recall watching their dazzling performance in Los Angeles in 1984....every time I hear "Bolero", my mind goes back to the Torvill and Dean Magnificent skating....Never will be duplicated, Never !!!!!!
Since when has Ice Skating been apart of the Summer Olympics? This was performed at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo.
I can watch this over and over again, simply the best!!!!!
The beauty is overwhelming
かなり前のスケーターなのに、
斬新な振り付けと，それをこなす高い身体能力に、驚きます‼️
やはり伝説のトービル＆ディーンですねぇ👍👍👍
I remember watching this on the telly.... Mesmerising. Thanks so much for posting. Still gives me goose bumps.
当時TVで観てて鮮烈に覚えてます。
これでボレロと言う曲を知り、大好きになりました。確か10点満点ばかり出たんですよね。今観てもステキ❗️まさかまた観れるとは。ありがとうございます。
Assolutamente magnifico!
Il loro Bolero e le loro performance saranno sempre guardati con stupore e meraviglia; sono stati unici: the best of best!
This remains to be the most artistic and beautiful figure skating duo performance ever
Они как были тогда лучшими так ими и о́стали́сь. ❤❤❤
I was 16 in 1984 & still remember it like yesterday. Absolutely faultless
A well deserved victory! What a beautiful performance
sakurasoh I
Gives me goosebumps each time, watching this. What a wonderful, wonderful performance!
Chills here too. Watching in August. 2019
A master class on ice dancing. I remember watching this in 1984. It's still is a master class I'm ice Dancing all these years later
лучше невозможно и сполнить!Приближение к идеалу.Гармония в превосходной степени!Лучше этой пары нет смотреть и с мотреть и невозможно насмотреться.Спасибо,что подняли фигурное катание на высочайший уровень , эталон на все временаСпасибо и великому тренеру Бетти Калловай Жаль что об этой скромной женщине не рассказали на ТВ, в прессе.
This beautiful routine will never be beaten , absolutely faultless
Смотрю в 2019 году и по праву считаю их олимпийскими чемпионами. 👍👍👍
a true masterpiece. i saw it in 1984 so overwhelming and a very proud moment, they are still just as much a legend even 40 years later.
Just so incredible and so many moves to remember!
What an amazing routine! Breathtaking!
Torvill and Dean. The best ever.
Я не помню, писала я в комментарии, или нет. Но очень часто смотрю это выступление, супер! Нет слов! Для меня , за всю мою жизнь, а мне не мало лет, это болеро в исполнении этих великолепных фигуристов, Ягудин, с композицией «Зима» и «Гладиатор» и Пахомова и Горшков- вальс Хачатуряна! Это просто не достигаемое!!!👍
Torvill and Dean set the bar in Ice Dancing. To this day, no other Ice Dancing pair has been able to match Torvill and Dean's performance and reach that bar!
Увидев это выступление в 12 лет, я была потрясена красотой танца и музыки. Болеро меня впечатлило и до сих пор для меня это пленительная музыка. Браво этим фигуристам, так сихронно, с интересными элементами, исполнившими такое катание!
I watched this live on TV in 1984. A fantastic perfomance that i will never forget.
This is my favorite ice dance Olympic performance !!
Now 2024 and this stands the test of time. Stunning ❤️
