Torvill and Dean
When Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean kneeled down together on the ice in Sarajevo in February 1984 for the start of their famous Bolero routine, more than 24 million people in Britain tuned in to watch them to see if they could win Olympic gold. Four minutes and 28 seconds later, the crowd went wild, and the judges scored them with 12 perfect 6.0s. It was an unforgettable and brilliant performance that made national heroes of them. But what was the real story behind their extraordinary feat? Now, in their definitive memoir, Torvill and Dean relive the drama and hard work that came from reaching the Olympic summit.
