Olympian Skaters Return to Competition With Eyes on 2d Gold
SHEFFIELD, England--After a 10-year absence from
international competition, British ice dancers Jayne Torvill
and Christopher Dean are back. And, they plan to unveil, at
the British Championships Jan 7-8, the routine they hope
will land a 2d Olympic gold in Lillehammer, Norway, in 1994.
But the golden couple of British skating gave few clues
at a news conference today as to what will succeed their
legendary Bolero program, which mesmerized the world at the
1984 Sarajevo Winter Games.
Though they chose the music for their new routine several
months ago, Dean declined to reveal details. He did say,
however, that the 4-minute routine will be as innovative as
their hypnotic interpretation of Bolero and the famous Mack
and Mabel and Barnum programs that brought them 2 of their
4 world titles.
Torvill and Dean, both 35, have performed in ice shows
since leaving the competitive scene a decade ago. They're
already aware of the transition involved in returning to
competition--namely having to abide by strict ice dance
regulations once again.
"Being away for 10 years and coming back, we want to stay
within all the rules and regulations and be as creative and
entertaining within those rules and guidelines," said Dean.
After the British championships, the ice dance committee
will select the couple to represent Britain at the European
Championships in Copenhagen in January, the Olympics in
February and the World Championships in Makujari, Japan, in
March.
