If Mark is still a pro on DOI, he might not have that much time either.

T&D skated with young ice dancers Ash & Atl on the last show. Here's a video of this routine - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i92AgRkH100

It's all about Torvill and Dean for me. They are the reason I watch DOI.

Yuna Kim - to me robotic and boring Yuzuru Hanyu - what diminishes his greatness significantly is the fact that he constantly repeats programs Virtue/Moir - overperforming, especially from Tessa's side

Gold for Torvill and Dean in Lillehammer. Gold for Mishkutenok and Dean in Lillehammer.

Carol competed against Torvill and Dean. She said in one of the interviews that she decided to retire when she saw their Mack and Mable, it was that good. T&D are also her favourite ice dance team.

So does it depend on the continent where you train? I personally doubt there's such a rule nowadays. For example VM have always trained in North America but usually the music for their programs was chosen by their coaches. As far as I know they wanted to skate to Pride and Prejudice in 2014...

When the best train together sooner or later, it turns out that not everything is so perfect. So I suppose it's not such a great thing as sometimes we can hear. It was the same case with Virtue/Moir and Davis/White. It was the same with Grishuk/Platov and Krylova/Ovsannikov in the 1990s. Some...

Has anyone translated the interview? Or do we have to rely on google translate?

She left when he was 6. I don't think she attended Olympics, but she attended some of the their competitions. She also used to come to watch Dancing on Ice. It seems she and Chris reconnected at certain point. He tweeted that in 2017 - https://twitter.com/torvillanddean/status/925725266252406784

I'm pretty sure many VM fans still believe it was the case.

I think it's interesting that the movie will be about their very early career which wasn't easy of them, because both of them had to work to earn the living: Chris as a policeman and Jayne as an insurance clerk. And there were moments when they were close to giving up their skating passion...

And after so many years people still remember those programs and talk about them (of course mainly Bolero). Yet V&M fans are so proud that they stlll watch Moulin Rouge. Let's wait 30-40 years and see how many of them will still watch it and talk about it.

I have read many arguments why a particular ice dance team is GOAT, but nothing beats this one :biggrinbo.

\ But that's one of my problems with VM. They are over the top :confused:. I know they are excellent ice dancers and don't doubt their incredible skills. And knowing that I don't understand why they need to overperform so much. Maybe if they toned it down a bit I would enjoy watching them so...
