Cette vidéo est un pur moment de bonheur: un concentré de grâce, de maîtrise, de synchronisation, de fluidité, de complicité; c'est assez bouleversant tellement la perfection est au rendez-vous. J'espère qu'ils ont été accueillis en stars à leur retour au pays, c'est un moment exceptionnel dans l'histoire du patinage à mes yeux. They really are awesome, so nice to watch, they still deserve the highest score nowadays
На пьедестале не только триумфаторы Сараево 1984 года,но и Олимпийские чемпионы 1988 года в Калгари и Олимпийские чемпионы Альбервилля 1992 года! Но здесь это будущее. Как скромно ведёт себя Бэтти и как счастливы чемпионы!
A great ice dance couple (Bestemianova & Bukin) as well as third placed (Marina Kimona & Ponomarenko) were so unluckly to be of the same generation as the magnificent Nottinghamshire pairing (Torvill & Dean), coached by the late great Betty Callaway. This was one of the finest images and experiences of the Sarajevo Olympics!! Bravo!
@MrEurocat I speak, for example, of Middlesbrough, Redcar and their surrounding areas - crippled by the closure of Corus which was originally British Steel and sold off to foreign investors under Thatcher's privatisation, leaving thousands vulnerable to the whim of a private investor. Instead of supporting British insustry. Not only this, but the thousands of suppliers and contractors who worked with Corus have now also lost business. The knock of effect is enormous.
I am from Sheffield a northern city.The Thatcher years changed England for the better.You can forget all the rhetoric it's as simple as this,she took over from a government that took us to 25% inflation 35% basic rate of tax nationalised industries that had to be subsidised by the taxpayer and unions that ran the country. she left an economy that had steady growth, low inflation 20% basic tax rate these are the provable facts
"how did the performance go for you" we just got all bloody sixes how do you think it went?! would literally have been my answer, but they're actually amazing, love them!
I am a Russian and root for my the Russian skaters always but what on earth were they robbed of. Torvill/Dean did the greatest performance in ice dancing history. Bestiamanova/Bukin were good sports and they would laugh at you if you suggested they were robbed. Klimova/Ponomarenko are future legends of dance but were very young and undeveloped here and were totally gifted the bronze over Blumburg/Seibert by politks.
@MrEurocat The Northern cities I speak of are definitely NOT better off. The Northern city I come from was crippled by her privatisation schemes which meant that the steel industry declined rapidly and recently went out of business altogether, putting thousands out of work. Coal and other mining industries were also privatised or shipped out to other countries, again, leaving thousands unemployed.
@fantastischfish "whim of a private investor" - ahhhhhhhh now we see the real argument. Do you think companies and businesses should be run - just for the sake of it?
@fantastischfish She gave us change - which was badly needed. Labour bankrupt us in the 70s. We had to have a bail out from the IMF - sound familiar? She basically gave evryone a kick up the arse - work, if you cant find it, move! Be responsible for yourself. And not expect to sponge off the state. The Northern cities you speak of are far better places NOW than they were then. Progress sometimes come with pain
i know right! tehy still think english people wear 18th century clothes and wear a glass monocle and have a pocket watch ...we are a high developed country!
Yes, apar from financially crippling the northern cities and creating the highest unemployment rate this century, she really was an astounding success....not.
@MrEurocat Families having to be split up because someone cannot find work? Is this the key to an improved Britain? Reducing families to even smaller units, with no extended family around to offer support? The state is there to support those in times of need: people in my area were tax payers for decades before being made unemployed as a result of Tory policies, are they 'spongers'?
The very same sporting hall 'zetra' where all this happened in 84.was destroyed and burned down 8 years later by serbian heavy artilery at the start of agresion on independent bosnian state in the spring of 1992. The world was watching again and did nothing to help that beautifull city if Sarajevo for next 4 years.Shame on all of us....
@fantastischfish If need be , yes. The family unit is much stronger than you give credit for. Instead of laying on thick, syrupy sop stories that might please a sociology lecturer deal with real life. And as for ailing industries, time moves on & doesnt stand still. We cant all be chimney sweeps & gas light attendants. Stop whining & get on with life. What cities do you speak of? You name not one!

I'm so proud of this pair!!!
i LOVE them!!! No one will ever top them...
Torvill and Dean literally put ice dancing on the map. I know that I personally had no interest in it, until I watched these to skate. Truly amazing.

How right you are this was Mrs Thatchers era when we could hold our heads high
aww chris looks so proud! they are amazing!

These two literally put ice dance on the map.

Nice one!
So cute how Chris looks at Jayne and it seems she can feel him as soon as their anthem stops she turns to face him.
I've never seen this award ceremony before. Thanks so much for putting it up. Brilliant.
This makes me proud to be British.
They are truly amazing and talented people and deserve knighthoods!

28 years ;-)
Always thought it was odd that the medals were presented gold then silver etc. Much prefer the recent change to go from bronze and up.
madabbafan I've literally never seen medals presented 3rd 2nd 1st, the winners always get their medals first.

Hmm not heared that arrangement of God Save the Queen before. One verce then the second half of the verce repeated.
6:17 its the queen of england!!!!
@RSVPBlogger Is that her at 6:17?
And come on, we're not *that* stupid.
The Queen's nowhere to be seen at 6:17. What are you on about?
You mean, between two Soviets, right, logom0?
@fantastischfish "whim of a private investor" - ahhhhhhhh now we see the real argument. Do you think companies and businesses should be run - just for the sake of it?
Atleast the bronze, maybe even the silver. They were completely robbed.
I kinda miss the bad old days of the Soviet Union. ;-)
and we're not all posh "chaps" that drink tea all day!
Very weird performance of the National Anthem - pity, because it was one of the greatest occasions in the history of all sports.
haha yeh..
@ARhysW
hahah see the old lady in the front with the glasses...its a joke
Sickening when you think the bronze medal was STOLEN from Blumberg and Siebert by Russian underhanded dealings.
@fantastischfish She gave us change - which was badly needed. Labour bankrupt us in the 70s. We had to have a bail out from the IMF - sound familiar?

shutup were they robbed.
I know its dreadful and out of key/tune in several places!
Great performance but the worst god save the queen ive ever heard
You aren't kidding, candpman! Wow, that's awful!
The anthem is RIDICULOUSLY out of tune!
