They still have the Torvill and Dean magic after all these years...looking superb!! I watch their 1984 Olympic performance when I was about 13 years old and, even now, I still want to cry when I see all the perfect scores pop up on the screen (and I know what's going to happen!! hee hee!!); absolutely beautiful.
Wow! I watch their performance back in 1984 and impressed me a lot, today I am more impressed to see they did it better this time 22 years later. Torvill and Dean are my favorite!
No matter which, of the many vairities, of Bolero i watch it brings a lump to my throat. Watching JnC and especially watching them skate Bolere, were via video or live it makes me proud to no only be British but to say I'm also from Nottingham. Cant not WAIT to see them live again this year.
the original was heart stopping. I remember it well I also saw them on a World tour.course there not as sharp as 25 years ago., but still womderful..,.
Is it just me, or is the beginning quite a bit different than the '84 performance? They're still great, but it's not as clean and sync'd as the original. Not unexpected considering the years. I'm impressed they still do it this well.
@mortussia - Yes the start and big part's of it where edited. The whole dance shortened by 90seconds to just 3mins does not help.
Jayne was 27 and Christopher was 26 back in February 1984 for the Winter Olympic's (and also the 1984 World Championship's at the tail end of March, where they went 1 * 6.0 better and got 13 - 9 for Artistic impression again and 4 instead of 3 for technical ability).
Roll forward to the first series of Dancing on Ice and they were 22 years older

I am betting you, though, that if Torville and Dean were skating now, young now, they would still rise to the occasion. They were sited as one of the reasons the complicated lifts came into the programs.
Old computer, new computer...they were the best of the best at that time, and I believe would probably be a top of the line computer today.
Comparing Virtue & Moir to Torvill & Dean is like comparing Federer to Borg. Borg is/was a great player but today's game is far more physical and there are more possibilities with the new technology.
Comparing them is like comparing top of the range computer today with a top of the range computer then but the current top range couldn't have happened without the first top range.
Also remember, the scoring system is completely different now, its much less subjective now as it was in 1984!
As a Canadian I am much more emotionally attached to Virtue and Moir. They represent my country and they're very likeable people. Likewise, if someone asked me which performance I enjoyed more between Virtue and Moir and Torvill and Dean I'm going to have to say I liked Virtue and Moir-- but that is for personal reasons.
However, I don't think an intelligent Ice Dance fan from any country could honestly say that Virtue and Moir were /better/ then this pair. I agree with you prigg88.
@mikamai I am pretty much the same because Virtue and Moir are pretty much the reason I love ice dance as much as I do but however I do agree that Torvill and Dean are much better than Virtue and Moir tho I feel Virtue and Moir could grow to be just as good as them
Learn it, video it, put it on youtube and then we'll see.
Of course its basic compared to these days but that is only because it has evolved as a sport and that is down to Torvill and Dean. The ISU changed the rules due to this awesome performance.
WOW... They still have it 25yrs later!! I had just watched their original dance to Bolero!! It would be awesome to see them live performing!! NO ONE can touch them!!
Torvill and Dean - No Olympic pair has ever done better than they did.
I remember one year when another couple tried to skate to Bolero. What were those two fools thinking - it was a sad thing and an insult to Torvill and Dean.
a pile ov shit was it?? and tht was y they were awarded a gold medal and perfect 6's from all of the jduges?? and tht's y no-one has done tht since???
@wolfster09able o i would really like to see you up there i know how difficult it is i bet you wouldnt even get a 1.0 from each judge and if its rubbish why look at it?
The Chinese have so far done pairs skating -- lots of technical requirements. Ice dancing has different rules... and it's more about the choreography & presentation. Torville & Dean are UNSURPASSED, and Ravel's Bolero will FOREVER BE LINKED with Torvill & Dean's 1984 SUPERB Performance! In this vid they are 25 years older, and still they look FANTASTIC on the ice!
isnt it just so emotional and tearful, we're all soo proud of them!!! i wasn't even born then (born 1988) but wow i cant believe that happened!!! XDDD and i LOVE Dancing on Ice!!!! are you watching it this year??? ive never missed a single episode, i miss Ray Quinn though :(
it's a pitty the studio only had a one-third size ice rink to perform on. Any chances of it being moved to a full size one for next year? (If they is another series)
There is another series but i doubt it will get bigger. They did a bolero on tour this year and that rink i'm told is 2/3rds bigger than the studio rink. The studio rink has to be a certain size to fit in the studios down at Elstree along with an audience and all set things.
yeah, they are. They've done another 3 versions. '07, '08 and '09 - '09 was particular close to the '84 original as it was the 25th anniversary. I was lucky to see it 3 times on the DOI tour last year.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no disrespect to jayne, but with her aging physique, she should start wearing costumes with flowy sleeves when dancing--particularly with chris. or at least in any way she gets her arms covered when dancing. unless she gets her arms supertoned like michelle obama's. her costuming on this one just jars the flow of the dance for me.
They are the best ever. There are very very few skaters impressed me. Witt, Torvill and Dean. After 25 years, I still remember the moment I was watching the performing on the ice, the best one ever. I believe that no one has performed better.
i love seeing jayne and chris perform bolero it is dazzling to watch and is outstanding every time and i dont know how they have made different versions
They did another version of the 1984 original bolero this year for the 4th series of DOI. This version of bolero is from the first series of Doi shown in 2006!
I remember as a school kid watching them win the Olympics in Sarajevo in 1984. That was just as awesome back then as it is now. Obviously they had to cut 3 minutes off the original, but it still is awesome!!
Then, when I am finished for the day, I am so tired I can't, even pray, For, someone to save me, from this fate, and take me from this life, that I hate, So I will be, set free from all of this, drudgery. Yet, I don't even know, How I go on.
Are you sure its Ravel's bolero? There are a lot of boleros out there. I can't find anything about this musical. Any lyrics would have been added by the writer of the musical so they wouldn't be official lyrics.
They've said in interviews that there was a time when they thought "oh no, not bolero again" but i think as they've matured they've grown to appreciate it again.
my god, i wish i was torvil....... if only to be able to move like that - especially alongside dean. He is one sexy fella - and this is one sexy routine. They move like one person! Breath-taking....
yeah they are amazing. They may be on the older side but they are still the best skaters ever. They're performances on DoI are just as good and entertaining as the ones they did when they were younger.
the first time they ever performed it was simply breath taking, and this version may not have been as epic as it was cut short, but still you just cant take your eyes of them, they are truly amazing people. Absoloutley amazing.
It would have been lovely to have seen this performance on the show tonight with it being the anniversery of the olympic win - would have been a very special moment :o)
It's a pitty that, probably due to sheduling by ITV, the full routeen wasn't done. Still if I'm half as flexable as they are when I'm in my 50s I will be very happy
that was AMAZING!!!!.....22 years later....a little bit more out of breath but they can stlll perform it as amazing as they did the first time......THEY ARE TRULY LEGENDS.
It's not a farce. You can't expect the celebrities to be amazing skaters, they are just beginners. It's just a light-hearted entertainment show. Stop being so serious
Don't forget that the rink they're performing on is only about a quarter the size of a normal rink. They couldn't possibly have fitted the full dance on even if they were capable of doing it all those years later.
Well almost 25 years later I'm amazed they do as well as they do. I was there in 1984 to witness the best all time ice dancing...and what else was the USA ice hockey lest we forget.
its just magic when they perform this!!!!! i love them both - this was the best of the 3 i think!!! im so glad they came back to do dancing on ice cos i wern born wen they performed this the first time-so to see them do it again - just AMAZING!!!
Great performance, particularly because of their age. It would have been awesome for them to do the their Olympic winning LP, but honestly how could they? I actually clicked on this thinking, "Could they really still do it?" I must admit I was a bit disappointed when I saw it couldn't, but then I was like not even Torvill/Dean can stop the effects of age. I'm 16 and I couldn't even do half of THIS routine. It's great just seeing them on the ice again. They should have won gold in 1994 too!
anyone sayin that its not the same anymore or its not the bolero cos its not the same THESE GUYS CREATED THE BOLERO THAT GOT EM FAMOUS i think they if anyone can change it and there 50 they cant do the lifts they could when they were in their 30's!
This is one of the best and fave skating routines. Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are amazing. The first bits and the end bits are the same, but in the middle they have their own style.
Of course its not exactly the same - they are 22 years older and this is 3mins shorter than the Olympics and you have to realise that no two versions of the bolero are the same - the one they performed in Europeans was not the same as the one they performed in the Olympics and that was not the same that they performed in Worlds which was not the same as the countless versions they performed in their tours. The essence of bolero is still there and it is still as mesmerising.
IM NOT SAYIN THAT IT IS TH3 SAM3 ROUNTIN3 B3FOR3 U THINK I AM SAYING THAT BUT HOW CAN TH3Y R3M3MBA 3V3RY ST3P OF THAT ROUTIN3S AFT3R 22Y3ARS AND MOR3 NOW! TH3Y DO HUNDR3DS MOR3 ROUTIN3S AND TH3Y DO TH3M ALL P3RF3CT TH3Y N3V3R FORG3T A ST3P!! TH3Y'R3 AMAZING! WISH I COULD DO WHAT TH3Y DO AND G3T A GLD M3DAL FOR IT! lol ;)
NO, NO, NO, not you, I don't mean you, I mean Philip and Holly and everyone on the show talking about the dance like its the same, it may have as well have been a different dance, only the music is the same and that is a different version, its faster for a start, its like wow, I've been waiting 25 years to see that again, no its a different dance, they should do the same one really.
if u watch the DOI series 2 dvd u'll hear christopher dean say as long as you start on your knees and end on the floor its the bolero and that anything in between is your own interpretation of the music. i dont remember reading anywhere that the bolero stays the same. and oh yeah, they're coming up to 50, they can hardly do they same lifts as they could then can they?
obviously using similar lifts and stuff inbetween but u cnt expect every version to be the same can you? and anyway, no matter what sequence of moves they do it still has an air about it that should send shivers down ur spine.

It's a pitty that, probably due to sheduling by ITV, the full routeen wasn't done. Still if I'm half as flexable as they are when I'm in my 50s I will be very happy

It's not a farce. You can't expect the celebrities to be amazing skaters, they are just beginners. It's just a light-hearted entertainment show. Stop being so serious

I think Jane looks great!! She hasn't aged that much if she can still skate like that! What an awesome routine.

Christopher hasn't aged at all, and Jane has aged like a horse. I call it the 'Richard & Judy effect'.

Don't forget that the rink they're performing on is only about a quarter the size of a normal rink. They couldn't possibly have fitted the full dance on even if they were capable of doing it all those years later.
maltipom2 3 years ago 15
Well almost 25 years later I'm amazed they do as well as they do. I was there in 1984 to witness the best all time ice dancing...and what else was the USA ice hockey lest we forget.

Bolero is the title of the orchestral, one movement piece by Ravel. The dance is just a dance performed TO Bolero.

unfamouspianist 3 years ago 3
its just magic when they perform this!!!!! i love them both - this was the best of the 3 i think!!! im so glad they came back to do dancing on ice cos i wern born wen they performed this the first time-so to see them do it again - just AMAZING!!!
kathyannemay1991 3 years ago 4
Great performance, particularly because of their age. It would have been awesome for them to do the their Olympic winning LP, but honestly how could they? I actually clicked on this thinking, "Could they really still do it?" I must admit I was a bit disappointed when I saw it couldn't, but then I was like not even Torvill/Dean can stop the effects of age. I'm 16 and I couldn't even do half of THIS routine. It's great just seeing them on the ice again. They should have won gold in 1994 too!

i love these two..best skaters by far! plus they are older since they did bolero..it is just as good as the original!!
bagOFcrap 3 years ago 2
anyone sayin that its not the same anymore or its not the bolero cos its not the same THESE GUYS CREATED THE BOLERO THAT GOT EM FAMOUS i think they if anyone can change it and there 50 they cant do the lifts they could when they were in their 30's!

This is one of the best and fave skating routines. Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are amazing. The first bits and the end bits are the same, but in the middle they have their own style.

StefanPriceUK 4 years ago
This is NOT trhe same dance at all, I have compared it with the original, there are a couple of the sames steps, thats all.
StefanPriceUK 4 years ago
Of course its not exactly the same - they are 22 years older and this is 3mins shorter than the Olympics and you have to realise that no two versions of the bolero are the same - the one they performed in Europeans was not the same as the one they performed in the Olympics and that was not the same that they performed in Worlds which was not the same as the countless versions they performed in their tours. The essence of bolero is still there and it is still as mesmerising.

NO, NO, NO, not you, I don't mean you, I mean Philip and Holly and everyone on the show talking about the dance like its the same, it may have as well have been a different dance, only the music is the same and that is a different version, its faster for a start, its like wow, I've been waiting 25 years to see that again, no its a different dance, they should do the same one really.
StefanPriceUK 4 years ago
The contestants have to do their own dance using a few moves from the original, you could say that theirs is "The Bolero" in that case.
StefanPriceUK 4 years ago
The bolero is the name of the music, not the choreography, so this is "the bolero"
hcf1 4 years ago 2
if u watch the DOI series 2 dvd u'll hear christopher dean say as long as you start on your knees and end on the floor its the bolero and that anything in between is your own interpretation of the music. i dont remember reading anywhere that the bolero stays the same. and oh yeah, they're coming up to 50, they can hardly do they same lifts as they could then can they?

So the Bolero means doing an ice dance to the composition "Bolero" using the opening few seconds and the closing seconds, thats mental.
Why do they say OOOHHH the the Bolero, its just any dance to the music entitled Bolero.
StefanPriceUK 4 years ago
obviously using similar lifts and stuff inbetween but u cnt expect every version to be the same can you? and anyway, no matter what sequence of moves they do it still has an air about it that should send shivers down ur spine.
