Sarajevo 1984 Dance OSP 'Paso Doble' | Torvill & Dean earn 4 perfects 6.0s

Australian/American coverage (commentators: Dick Button, Peggy Fleming, Jim Lampley)
"''We do the programs ourselves,'' (Christopher) Dean says, unselfishly devaluing his more significant choreographic role. ''We sometimes consult some specialists from outside the skating world, but this time we've done it all ourselves. We feel that gives us an advantage, because you can put more feeling into something of your own creation.'' Never having attended a corrida, he consulted every work of reference he could find to develop the character of the bullfighter he brings so brilliantly to life on the ice. It may well turn out to be the highlight of the whole Winter Games."
