What would Brian Boitano do?

If he was here right now? He'd make a plan and he'd follow through! That's what Brian Boitano'd do.

I miss Usenet.

I get it.

I know the short program is focused on the technical elements, while the free skate is supposed to show off artistry, but sometimes watching the short program feels like watching someone go through a checklist. And it didn't used to feel that way. Now, it just seems so clinical. All the scandals do not help.

Skating fandom is a fucking mess right now, so it's probably best just to take quick peeks every quad.

There's never been another Torvill and Dean. Nothing's come close to their Bolero. Not surprised you've never been so invested.

Here are the people of Nottingham paying tribute to them, 30 years on. I used to work in one of those buildings and know most of those places. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WOO6qoEcgo&t=8s

That's incredibly touching. I agree... there's never been another pairing like Torvill and Dean. I got somewhat obsessed with them after that Olympics and went back to watch as many of their routines as I could, including buying a VHS tape of a documentary that had a bunch of their well known programs. I think I watched that tape to death!

God, I LOVE Torvill and Dean's Bolero. Perfection on ice.

I have nothing relevant to add, but can I ask who the photo is of? I know nothing about skating but I'd love to look up more references of that dress!

Ice dancers Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean at the 1984 Sarajevo Olympics.

Thank you! I adore this dress, it looks like Disney's Megara actually got to be a proper princess <3

wasn't the judging an absolute mess for torvill and dean in lillehammer? i have vague memories of that being a thing

They had a move that was deemed an illegal lift during their Free Dance, which dropped them from first to third.
