  • @2010watchmenow actualy there is only one where Chris does the splits. The flip at the end was an assisted jump - which was within the rules at the time.

  • I thought this routine was conservative but brilliantly choreographed. I think G&P's power and speed really won them the gold, but their routine was just as conservative, although nowhere as well choreographed. If T&D did something like Bolero or Encounter, something that will blow people's minds away, they would have won the gold again. They couldn't surpass the barometer of high expectation that they ironically set in 1984.

  • @2010watchmenow TORVILL AND DEAN ARE WORLD, EUROPEAN AND OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS NOT ONLY IN AMETEUR BUT PROFFESSIONAL WORLDS AS WELL, They still managed to become European and World Champions with this routine. Oksana and Evgeny fell in their performance but still won, where are they now, TORVILL AND DEAN PERFORM AND CHOREGRAPH CELEBS ON BRITISH SHOW DANCING ON ICE WHICH NOW HAS Katerina Witt as one of the Judges alongside Robin Cousins and can outperform Oand K any day.

  • I think their music choice really did them in. I think a more masterful piece like the Planets or Shahara Zad, or even something like Malaguena would have gotten them the gold here. They lost on technical merit though.

  • @BigdealXXIII Usova and Zhulin had a terrible program this year though. Their problems with their wrecked marriage clearly showed which was a shame.

  • stop with the negative comments about jayne and chris, if you dont like them dont comment on this fuckin video or any other of their videos. stop acting like idiots!! did anybody else get as many 6.0's as they got in 1984. i dont think so.. Torvill and Dean best ice dancers in the world. END OF !

  • @Spooner101a

    Er me and who else? The whole world? They only got a bronze, ya know?

    They did much, *much* better sufff with with their professional stuff and DOI, before and after this mess. Look at 'Song of India', and tell me that this performance wasn't a mess.

  • who's their choreographer? seems s/he retired with Torvill & Dean. there's always many whoaw factors in their dance, very above and beyond. top of the world!

  • @MyLatestEscape you need some new glasses

  • I was watching the whole come back from the british chapionship same year up and until this. We watched with a little anxiety , hoping it would be flawless and when it was we were like "they've done it they've nailed it !" how they were robbed. After this the judging procedure was changed.

  • Ugly and charmless, and recycled every truly great move from past performances. Awkward and kludged, and Jayne looks chunky and out of condition.

    I *love* T&D, and still weep for this awful, embarrassing performance.

  • I think all the still alive judges has a flush on their face watching this after 27 years, because only the British judge gave them 1st place.

    Time told them they did a shameful backtstage job. I'm happy they couldn't do that in 2010 again with the new judging rules....

    Grischuk-Platov was a talented youngsters here witha very juniorish propgram and technique compaired to the Britons and Usova-Zhulin!
