Torvill and Dean Recreate Bolero 30 Years Later – ITV News |Dreams That Glitter

I took this video for the purposes of fans that either aren’t in this country or for some other reason didn’t get to see the section on the ITV News earlier so I’m just going to leave it here for people to stumble across…
The video doesn’t seem to want to go into the post properly so here’s the link –

Bolero – 30 Years On |Dreams That Glitter

Just a couple of hours ago Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean performed the world famous Bolero routine to celebrate the 30th anniversary of what won them gold at the Winter Olympics in 1984. They arrived in Sarajevo yesterday and performed at a gala tonight, recreating the magic that they initiated 30 years ago.

I managed to catch about 10 seconds of the video on a rather low quality livestream but here’s a video of the whole routine which you can watch over to your hearts content should you wish. They were absolutely breathtaking as always, it was a beautiful rendition of the routine and probably the last we’ll see. Despite what many news articles have said, Jayne and Chris have said themselves that they are not retiring and will continue to work together, they apparently have a few projects planned already. They will perform Bolero on Dancing On Ice like they have done for the past 8 years, and then on tour which I cannot wait to see. It’s a true honor to see it all come together in front of your very eyes, which is something I’m sure people felt today in Sarajevo.

It’s been a very Torvill and Dean orientated day for us fans, there’s been numerous interviews which have all been great to hear. There was even some radio coverage when the pair were reunited by the famous flower girl that was clearing the ice before they began their routine, and that was very sweet to hear. Hearing them talk about how emotional Bolero is for them and how much of an amazing experience it has been is wonderful, but it makes your mind wonder to what it feels like to be in their position. Imagine, lying on the ice at the end of the iconic routine, looking into each other’s eyes on their knees at the beginning, the feeling of knowing that you’ve done something so amazing that has inspired thousands of people.
