Throwback to 1984...

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

Throwback to 1984...

Post by Elizabeth »

It was on this day in 1984 at the Olympics in Sarajevo that Torvill & Dean got that row of perfect scores for their "Bolero" free dance: https://www.olympic.org/news/jayne-torv ... ion-on-ice

Incredibly, they are still not only involved in skating but also performing on ice!

Amazing! From what I have seen they could be a force to reckon with today.

I'll never forget it! Saw it live or at least when it was first broadcast! :)
