On this day, 38 years ago, British ice dancing partners Jayne Tornvill and Christopher Dean won the Olympic gold in Sarajevo and hearts of spectators at the Zetra Olympic Hall and the millions who watched their flawless performance on TV.

The Nottingham duo performed the Ravel's Bolero on February 14, the Valentine's Day, as the last couple in their category, being awarded unanimously the maximum 6.0 points for what was called a seamless and heart-stopping performance.
