Chris was, and still is, considered to be one of, if not THE, best choreographers in skating-not to mention one of the best and most elegant skaters. As for his direction - watch some rehearsals from any of the performing arts and you will see the same sort of adamant insistence on perfection. He sets them up for success. His choreography is so unique and creative, with lifts and holds that no one else has tried or invented. A team that’s one of a kind - never be another pair like them - legends in their own time. Still together, still performing, in their sixties. Bless them for brightening our lives for so long, and may it continue for many years more.

I'm totally convinced their hearts beat in unison, their eyes blink in unison and they take breaths in unison. Never seen two people more in tune with each other. They are such a joy to watch. Thank you for posting !

I remember watching it on TV, what an AMAZING and DAZZLING PERFORMANCE. TORVILL AND DEAN was just delightful to watch for the 1984 Olympics! WOW!

This video is a good reminder/illustration that an elegant performance on the ice takes a lot of work. Like Jayne said in the beginning, the performance that lasts only a few minutes is easy compared to the work that makes it possible.

Their absolute command of their edges, plus the way he lifts her without any visible effort takes my breath away.

Torville and Dean really brought me and my children farther into the world of ice dancing. We had always watched the figures with pairs, women, and men. As a former ballroom dancer, their work together was mesmerizing. We CRIED and Jumped up and down when they won the gold for their "Bolero," I will always get chills whenever I watch it or think of it. Thank you Torville and Dean, I was always happy to know that your town supported you as well.

Torvill and Dean got me hooked on watching figure skating in 1984, and their not winning in 1994 was one of the reasons I started drifting out of it. (The whole Tonya and Nancy mess was another.) I only just got back into following it in a big way, and I'm thrilled to find that there is SO MUCH T&D I'd never seen before. Thank goodness for KZfaq! I feel like I have many, many treats in store.

There's a lot you can say about James and Dean and they went down in history and I'd stay down and nobody's ever done what they have done. Plus, to come back after 10 years after becoming pro skaters it's a lot different and as we get older our bodies tend to have more difficult time when it comes to strength muscles and coordination. But they continue onward to amaze us with everything that they do. When it comes to being on the ice there's soulmates meaning they flow as one they beat us one they look as one and their love of ice is one and they started as partners as little children and have continued throughout their life. They're more alive when they're out on the ice with each other, but when they get off the ice and are no longer in the arena or anything else then they go their separate ways and have family time and everything else with other loved ones which is one of the reason that they stayed together. They were smart enough to know years ago that if they became a couple they would not last throughout the ages like they have. They're yin and yang and they push each other and they know when to stop and when to go on and they like challenges.

In a professional setting and aiming for perfection, you will feel the pressure and have disagreements. The pressure was more on Chris being he was and still is the choreographer of their skating. My heart goes out to Chris

How much is luck and how much is design? We, the audience, know so little. It was great to hear the comments of Jane's husband. It fits. Judges are very susceptible to personal prejudice even though they are not supposed to be.
