- BBC coverage with commentary by Alan Weeks. This performance was notable in that it was their first 6.0 achieved at an international competition - and even more so impressive was the fact it was scored during the OSP!
Thank you to the wonderful Floskate for sharing this video with me.
Hypnotic. No matter whether you watched this in 1982 or 2022 it was then, and remains now, absolutely hypnotic.
I honestly think this is the greatest OSP that this team ever did. I know their paso doble is more famous and more celebrated. But I personally preferred this dance. Such stunningly good edges. Everything looked like one continuous movement.
Harmony, romance, and sensuousness. These two achieve it all.
How lovely to hear the late Alan Weeks commentary. He was great
They are so beautiful ,two angels and ice
Jaynes costumes are always so lovely. Just love them both.
I saw them live when they came to Australia. Have always loved watching them. They just fit together like a glove. No one has ever come near to them in ice dancing.
@@vickimarlene4905 Indeed.
First saw them at the British Ice Dance Championships in November 1977 when they came third behind Thompson/Maxwell and Bardsell/Foster. The first thing I noticed about Torvill & Dean was their marvellous depth of edge, I don't think I'd seen any previous skaters (apart from in compulsory figures obviously) achieve such deep edges.
Can you explain deep edge for us outsiders?
@@MaiseDoat Yes of course. A skating blade has two edges, an inside edge and an outside edge. If you looked lengthways down a blade you will see it has a hollow running down its length and on each side of the hollow there are the two edges. When a skater gets their blades sharpened what happens is the hollow is renewed as constant use over a few months can make the blades less sharp and they don't grip the ice so well. A mark of a good skater is to see those edges being used deeply rather than using what we call a 'flat' - skating on both edges at the same time. You can tell if edges are nice and deep by the lean a skater has into either edge and by the shape or pattern each move makes on the ice.
Thank you so much for this. One of my favourite T&D routines and a revelation at the time of what Ice dance could aspire to.
Stunning. 💖
THANK you so much for this. My other channel (D D Jay) has quite a few Torvill and Dean uploads but I did not have this from the Euros in full. This OSP is utterly hypnotic. I read somewhere that this was the absolute slowest tempo competitors were allowed, which makes the holding and switching of deep edges and dance holds all the more difficult to maintain. Thank you again!
