They were absolutely phenomenal!! I don't think I've ever seen another skating couple be so perfectly matched - in leg, body, arm positions, or so coordinated with the music - and smiling throughout the dance. I read somewhere regarding another Torvill/Dean video that they would NOT be Olympic Champions if they had competed against today's skaters. Christopher Dean chose their music, and in at least one instance hired a 50 piece orchestra to play the piece the way he wanted it played, choreographed most (possibly all??) of their performances. They paid attention to every detail of a performance - perfectly matching each other in both physicality and technique. I am SURE if they were in their 20's and in the world competitions in 2023 - that Torvill and Dean would be more than capable of the caliber of uniqueness, physicality, musical interpretations and THEIR UNCANNY ability to skate as one - while satisfying all requirements of today, accumulating the necessary points to be Olympic and/or world CHAMPIONS. I personally believe that they were led to each other to be skating partners and that they have NEVER BEEN MATCHED by anyone, anywhere, in any competition at any time. I bet I'm not alone in thinking this!

@@rolandgreen7484 I totally agree, today it is unwatchable!! When Ice Dancing was added to the Olympics for the first time in 1976 there were certain rules set by the IOC and ISU to separate it from pairs. Overtime, with big lifts and jumps bringing in more economic profit, those rules have faded.. Just take at look at the 1990 Season where they got rid of Singles Compulsories, it was for the profit!!

PlymGirl About 8 years after Christopher Dean changed Ice Dancing forever with his breathtaking choreography, the people in charge considered it too theatrical. Now, it's three twizzles, twists, and BORING. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Chris and Jane still have their Ice Dancing competition on British television. That's the only place that you will still find Ice Dancing, that IS Ice Dancing.
