Torvill & Dean - 1984 Winter Olympics - Free Dance Warm Up

We’ve got three future Olympic champions here in this warm-up: Torvill/Dean (1984), Bestemianova/Bukin (1988) and Klimova/Ponomarenko (1992), as well as 1983 European bronze medalists Karen Barber and Nicky Slater, and finally the Americans Blumberg and Seibert. You’ll also notice leading into this event, Britain’s Number 3 are currently placed at sixth (Wendy Session & Stephen Williams) who retired after this season. Interesting things to look out for are Christopher Dean "scuffing up the ice" at one point. He later claimed he was doing this as this is where him and Jayne would be kneeling down to start the Bolero and didn’t want to slip. You’ve also got the Russians at one point!
