Ice skating legends Torvill and Dean have announced that they are retiring, 40 years after they stunned the world with their Bolero routine.
On Valentine's Day, 1984, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean scooped Olympic gold in Sarajevo in one of the most magical sporting moments ever with a breathtaking routine set to Ravel's Bolero, writes The Mirror.This week, they returned to the Bosnian capital to announce their retirement from skating and also a farewell tour.At the old Zetra Olympic Hall, where they were awarded maximum scores for artistic impression from all of the judges, Chris, 65, said: "I remember the moment all the sixes came and I knew we’d done it.
