[welovetnd]

This is amazing. Just completely.

[enolf]

ahhhmaaaazing!



[arianna7s]

I think there amazing!!!!

[torvillanddean1]

By then all the other skaters knew that they were beaten.

[scootie12]

This is such a cool video because here's a full practice of their free dance. I like that they even practiced the entire routine. Too many skaters do a few things, stop, do a few more moves, stop, etc.

[shadowmia22]

Terrific vid of an ultra-terrific man

[emmyjo720]

Even in rehearsal they are flawless. Every edge, every line is perfectly graceful, highly difficult and very athletic

[JeriRose2]

Well, now I know what the story line is all about...hmmm...don't like is so much. But they are still brilliant skaters.

[shawty747]

Did everyone get into the other skaters they were in sheer awe at the magic on the ice....

[jazzy7991]

Amazing routine as always but dosn't it look a bi different here because it's filmed from the back!

[skatingaddict123]

thanks :)

[skatingaddict123]

was that karen barber and nicky slater in the turquiose jackets ?

amazing routine, always has, always will be.

i prefer this to the olympics version :D

[Vienna81]

Yes that is Karen Barber and Nicky Slater. You can also see Wendy Sessions and Stephen Williams standing by the barrier. They were the 3rd British dance couple at the time.

[KaKaFan89]

ILOVE THEM . they are amazing nobody will ever come close to how great they were/are. i like how everyone around them all stopped and watched.lol. x x

[Zannii]

That was AMAZING. I never knew the story behind it so the commentary was wonderful too. Thanks

[thereflex101]

my god...... i think i prefer this to the Olympic version - at least u can actually see them close up!

that was stunning. I'd give anything to be able to move like that

[4Minutes2SaveTheWorl]

[skatesindreams]

How the other skaters sharing the ice during that practice must have felt!

[rioja1970]

Oh my god, even the practice was amazing, as is was in the finished result, havent seen that since i was 14, many years ago... never equalled, never beaten.never will be beaten, makes you so proud to be british, in such shit times, tune in to dancing on ice on sunday nights for a boost..... Jayne & Chris, you are national heros.....

[leemeadisthebest]

Incredable! Amazingly talented!

[iiscream4icecream]

This really is quite differant to the one at the British championships! But i think that the finished result is the best!

[Senad91]

it's a honor that they skate in our city

best wishes from sarajevo

[zilam98]

chris dean alone has a presence, a charisma, that demands attention. he and gwendal peizerat are the best male ice dancers ever!!!

[H10FYE]

I remember watching this clip on TV all those years ago and seeing everyone just stop to watch them. It must have been absolutely breath taking to have witnessed it.

[rukeyser]

thank you so much for sharing this. they were a wonder that has never been equalled.

[misssarajevo95]

they have such a connection, even in practice

they make ice-dance an art, even when it is not judged. this is beautiful every time.

[AnnaRyn]

The reaction/ovation of the skaters/staff present 4 this 'mere' rehearsal says it all "We've just witnessed something important & ground breaking & we'll always remember this moment, thank you" Its spellbinding quality touches me no matter how many time I see it, so hauntingly beautiful stays with me 4 days everytime. Could gush about this all day & night.Class n thats that!lol!! xx

[jimtex3000]

By any standard and at any time, these two are incredible.

[kamwrites]

How great is this? Thanks so much for posting!

[LWOPP]

I'm SOOO glad this has been saved! Imagine having been there that day. Would you have guessed this would become the most famous and popular ice dance of all time? Thanks for posting!

[ohioweatherguy]

Interesting to see the other skaters just standing at the boards & watching while T&D went through their program. I never get tired of seeing them perform Bolero.

[DeanT84]

Yes, it's so hard to skate like that but they make it look so easy, that's why they are the best Ice Dancers ever.

[erizabeta]
