So close together, such amazing footwork. Dang, they are the best ever!!

Did you know that when this was performed Jayne had hurt her shoulder and had a bandage around it. I could not belive it they performed so well!

Considering this was an OSP with all the rules about not having lifts etc, this was amazing... Better even than the rock 'n roll free dance that Grischuk and Platov won the Olympics with. Love it.

Thank you so much for uploading this. I haven't seen it in years. I remember watching it so often that I nearly wore my VHS tape out! It's marvellous. So clever and

streets ahead of their competitors. Thanks again!

@szqsk8 I agree. I practically stopped watching figure skating after Torvill and Dean. They are absolutely unique, DIVINE. =)

Amazing! I've always loved this Rock'n'Roll and their Paso Doble (OSP 83 & 84) as much as Barnum (FD 83) and Bolero (FD 84) as no one has really ever done Original Dances as difficult as these, before or since. And to have to repeat the same pattern and moves exactly three times is incredible - which of course they don't have to do now. Thank you for uploading.

So sad that in 1994, Grishuk and Platov could rip this off, present a sub-standard version of it, and "win" the gold medal.
