aaaaahhhhh, torvill and dean

i don't know how it happened. one minute i was working hard, and the next there i was trolling youtube for old clips of rodnina and zaitsev. i had forgotten how big a deal ice skating used to be ... of course in those days it was something that english people did quite well so it was on the television quite a lot.

here is the free dance from 1994, a decade after their great triumphs, in which torvill and dean demonstrated their continued domination of form and content.
