- Lake Placid, New York, USA - 1980 Winter Games, Ice Dancing, Free Dance - Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean of Great Britain finished a respectable 5th Place here.
Aw. Such baby faces. They look like they're in high school. So sweet.
39 years on and they are still the best
Fascinating to see the journey towards bolero! Not only did they develop as artistes, but they changed ice dance completely. Fabulous!
Poetry on ice. Here in 2020...still the best.
Wow, even at such a young age, they were amazing! They improved a ton though a year later and were unquestionably the best in the world by 1981. But they improved even more from 82 to 84 and became legends. They always leave me in awe.
They were only 22/23 years off age then
@@jeanmalcolm8372 22/21, actually, February of 1980.
Heroes and Champions in the making, Torvill & Dean done the UK proud what a difference 4 years made when they won in Sarajevo 4 years later. Even in 2012 they've still got it on Dancing on Ice.
I think everyone knows by now...I am HUGE big fan of this dancing pair. Watch their feet.....that is all I am going to say.....perfection even then....kudos!
They look such babies here! It's interesting how much ice dance has changed, back then it was all about maintaining contact, I do believe they were not allowed to be apart for more than 3 seconds, much less emphasis on tricks and lifts than nowadays. My daughter won the Betty Calloway cup at Slough several years ago and had the honour of being presented with the cup by the great lady herself, a proud day indeed!
Christine Piggott How wonderful! Even though the years have passed, congratulations on your daughter's win!
They look so young here- but are as awesome as ever❤️❤️❤️
They are just fantastic and so young
I remember seeing this on tv and Alan Weeks commentator saying it was an absolute joy to watch them. STILL one of my fave T&D routines with all their trademark strengths already there to see.
I'M A DIE-HARD TESSA & SCOTT FAN; SAW THIS PAIR ONLY TODAY...I AM IN GREAT AWE - ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR "BOLERO"... Undoubtedly, they are the best,ever...a true legend! SUPERB!!!
Bernadette Asuncion I agree with you..but my favourite was actually Barnum, followed closely by VM with moulin rouge..one was fantastic the other, spellbinding!
You can see the beginnings of brilliance here. Wonderful changes of style and tempo!
Precision, precision, precision!
Unbelievable!! Great so fast so precise! Sensational
WOW even then, Jane and Chris were together totally, in sync to the n'th degree.. AMAZING .. :0)x
I haven't seen this before!! They are amazing!
They were so good in the early years as well
Some of my favorite pieces of music and they're just flying on the ice.
Amazed the commentators focused on anything but their dancing
This is beautiful so love how they change from slow to fast and be able to remember the moves the 💚💚💚💚💚💚🍀🍀🍀🍀👑👑👑👑👑looks amazing.xx👍👍👍👍👍💙💙💙💙💙💖💖💖💖💖💖
Завораживающе!Фантастическое катание! Очень гармоничная пара!
As far as I'm concerned, Torvill and Dean are the best pair EVER! They didn't need a lot of theatrics like the Soviets..natural talent through and through! Rather jealous they were from and represented Great Britain instead of the United States.
tjrs aussi extraodinaire ! quel plaisir de revoir ces programmes !
Завораживает, превосходно.
I was a big skating fan then and enjoyed their performance, but I had no idea what was come in the next four years
awww how cute did jayne look at the end standing with betty and chris aww i just wanted to pinch their cheeks even tho they were young you could already see the geniuos and chemistry between them who would have though they would go on to be the greatest ice dancers the world has ever seen i bet they didnt they are amazing and so beautiful on the ice together as the man said they make a very attractive couple on the ice pure brilliance i could watch them all day thanks for uploading
I never saw this until now. Wow were they good-
Джейн прелесть...Она как ангел...быстрая и стремительная. Она чудесна.

Gotta love the commentator in the first music change stating what every piece of Free Dance music has to show :P Only had to wait four years to see a change in that ;)

bravissimi
AWESOME ⛸
This goes to show you, the scores don't necessarily reflect the skill of the dancers, it's all political or something. This pair is the best dancing team that ever was, then and now, and should have taken first place.
Back when the emphasis was on grace and artistic interpretation rather than athletics.
I love when skaters can marry all of the elements, though. When technicality and emotion meet, it's beautiful! :)
I am not sure if the grace is more difficult to achieve than the compulsory elements
Wow!!!!!
Ah, you could see the signs of this gs to come.
Mesmeric.
5.6's for artistic impression. Really? I suppose they were marked lower in the believe the following couples would do better.
They are terriffic,but my goodness,they did get better, or else whats the piont duh?
Oh they became alot more theatrical as the years went on. Dont be fooled by this dance in their youth.
Prima!
aving just watched this and the hungarians earlier how did the russians win?
❤️
BABIES
Here the freedance had to reflect different changes in mood and music...which Bolero did not, it repeated the same theme. So did the rules change between 80 and 84, or did they win by sheer innovative genius?
As regards the change of music, that was tradition and nothing in the rules stipulated different music.
usually champions were allowed to lead the sport and to do something that the rules did not exactly allowed. Moiseeeva and Minenrov even before Bolero did try some one theme FD but the judges did not like it then. However, few years down the road they did like a Bolero and so it went.
The rules stipulated a maximum number of music changes but not a minimum which is why they could do bolero.
And yet it's interesting: the Soviet and Russian pairs have won the competition and often in pairs and dance, but if lost, something I do not remember that someone wrote: "Russian was better, they deserve the gold." I wonder why it is used?
Lovely skating, they were far superior to the Soviet couples at this event. I do wish Chris had done the cartwheel at the end instead of Jayne, it would have made for an eyebrow-raising ending.
I agree Torvill and Dean are probably the best ever ice dance team but dont kid yourselves. At their peak from 82-84 Torvill & Dean were just as theatrical as the Soviets, and that is part of truly great ice dancing anyway. Of course they had superior technical abilities to most of the Soviet greats too, only Klimova & Ponomarenko could compare, and K&P took until their final amateur season or two to truly expand artistically, only once starting to lose to technically weak Duchensays.

The judging of ice dance at these Games was just awful. Wighton & Dowding and Torvill & Dean should have both beaten the Czech pair who was 4th. The Hungarians were totally robbed of the gold which went instead to a stumbling and boring Linichuk & Karpanasov. Moiseev & Minenkov should have beaten L&K in the FD phase atleast as well. Actually the judging of these Games in figure skating was horrible in all events, except maybe pairs which was a boring and mediocre event anyway.
LOL, they look like 12 year olds. However, that routine was certainly better than the Commies. They electrified the audience, the Commies left the audience flat, even thought the audience was filled with Commies!
The event was held in Lake Placid, New York, USA so the audience was hardly filled with what you refer to as 'Commies'.
Are you alright? What on earth are commies? Russians or commentators? Weird way of saying either.
who are the commies? omg.
Как не нравились так и не нравятся.
