Stunning! What a performance!

and watching today, pretty good performances, but wanted to share this OUTSTANDING one.

They're going to perform it again this coming Wednesday in Sarajevo. http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/458640/Jayne-Torvill-and-Christopher-Dean-Sarajevo-put-us-in-a-different-league

now that I have watched it, I see why I remember their names. Thanks for posting.

but this act will never leave me.

I watched it in real time and it's wonderful to see it again. Thanks for posting it.

I was watching a skating event and it was hard to not be distracted by the logos on the wall around the rink. This was nice because you could see the form of the skaters. Do they allow logos at the Olympics?

music the whole way through, the execution flawless, and the choice Revel's Bolero inspired.

Just once I'd like to watch one of these events without Scott Brown's voice interjecting over the entire thing.

(Except I believe Scott Hamilton knows a thing or two more than Scott Brown about figure skating)

And it was just as awesome just now as I watched it again.

After they won the gold they put together a tour in the US. They were fabulous! Of course they performed their Bolero routine which is totally awesome!

the most erotic, mesmerizing, hypnotic performance I've ever seen.
Unforgettable.

I was awed then, and 30 years later, that performance is still the gold (pun intended) standard for the discipline. It was a privilege to see that as it happened.

do, figure skating. Like marrage, it takes years and years of constant practice...with lots of bumps and falls along the way. But in the end it can be a thing of transcendent beauty.


thanks for posting this elleng!
