Klimova & Ponomarenko 1985 Worlds free dance

This latin medley is an incredible display of their technical abilities. Although it wasn't as strikingly dramatic as Bestemianova & Bukin's Carmen program from that year, it's pure ice dance at its best.

Can someone tell me the name and composer of the slow piece that they do in this program? I have been trying to find it forever!

@bridgeoverthestars I think it's called History of Love but I could be wrong about that. Many skaters over the years have used this music like Torvill & Dean, Grishuk & Platov, and Navka & Kostomarov. I'm not sure about the composer though.

@gk891 Yes, it's usually called "Historia de un amor" (Story of a Love) or "Ya no estás más a mi lado, corazón" (You're no longer by my side, my love), for its first line. It's a very popular bolero by Panama composer Carlos Eleta Almarán. He wrote it when his brother's wife died. Search for: LUIS MIGUEL HISTORIA DE UN AMOR con letras en Inglés y Español

@Noahllie Thanks. I didn't know who the composer was so thanks for that information.

This is my favorit Klimova & Ponomarenko program. I watched it live during their exhibition performances for two evenings straight. 23 years later, this is still one of the best programs ever.

I agree. With the rules like they are now they would have won silver behind Torvil and Dean at 84 Olympics and Worlds, then won the next 8 Worlds and 2 Olympics in a row probably. The new rules are perfect for them since they are unbeatable almost technically.

AMAZING , Thank you very much for this. I am a HUGE K&P fan but I have to admit I have never seen anything of their before the 88 Olympics .

Even back then no one could top them.

The have the smoothest edges and cleanest lines of any ICE DANCING team.

This FD is near perfection, just didn't like the side by side splits, it broke the flow too much.

Surely they cant still be skating 20+ yrs later !

AGAIN THANK YOU .

This is completely unbeatable!!

What do you mean they didn''t win?
