| At the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Games, Christopher Dean and Jayne Torvill from Nottingham, England, won the ice dance competition. This was the first time that the competition had been won by a non-Russian couple.
The judges awarded them 12 scores of 6.0 out of 18 marks, including across-the-board perfect scores for artistic impression.
The couple managed to present their 4-minute 28-second dance despite the fact that the time limit was 4 minutes 10 seconds. They did this by moving their bodies to the music for 18 seconds before they started skating.
