I give you grace, style, and the conservation of angular momentum. Torville and Dean on the ice, 1984.
At the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won gold in ice dancing.
They earned twelve perfect 6.0s and six 5.9s, including artistic impression scores of 6.0 from every judge, becoming the highest scoring figure skaters of all time for a single programme.
From time to time when the state of world makes me depressed, I watch their performance, and marvel at the grace, style, and the conservation of angular momentum.
What can I say, I'm a nerd.
And in their practice session.
Nice is overrated

I had forgotten how great their performance was.....thanx for reminding me. I, also, enjoy ice dancing and ice skating routines. Some of these folks are pure magic on the ice. I could not care less for the "stick and ball" sports.
