Thank you for this beautiful film. I enjoyed it so much.

Beautiful and graceful to watch, just so in time with each other. Lovely.

Weren't they the first to do pairs? Or was that another pairs team?

@speakingtruly No. Pairs skating has been going for over a century. There have been pairs competitions since at least the early 1900's.

Thank you for explaining, but I typed my questiong wrong, I forgot to add the word lift. I was actually going to ask, if Dafoe/Bowden were the first pair to do lifts. Eurosport once showed a summary of past pairs champions (many years ago, during an Olympic tribute to G&G after he passed away). Do I remember correct that this pair was the first to do lifts? Or perhaps that was someone else.

I mean pairs lifts, not pairs. When I type fast, I often forget words or make mistakes.
