}} Torvill and Dean (Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean) are British ice dancers and former British, European, Olympic and World champions. At the Sarajevo 1984 Winter Olympics the pair became the highest scoring figure skaters of all time (for a single programme) receiving twelve perfect 6.0s and six 5.9s which included artistic impression scores of 6.0 from every judge, after skating to Maurice Ravel's Bolero. The pair turned professional following the 1984 Olympics, regaining amateur status briefly ten years later in 1994 to compete in the Olympics once again. The pair retired from competitive skating for good in 1998 when they toured one last time with their own show, ''Ice Adventures'', before rejoining ''Stars on Ice'' for one more season. Their final routine was performed to Paul Simon's "Still Crazy After All These Years", a routine they had devised a few years earlier for competition. Upon retirement from professional skating, Dean moved to Colorado Springs (USA), where he previously lived with his wife, Jill Trenary, and two sons: Jack Robert, born 17 November 1998, and Sam Colin, born 3 September 2000. Dean's agent confirmed in March 2010 the couple had separated.〔("Daily Mail" )〕 Between 1991 and 1993 Dean was married to skater Isabelle Duchesnay. Torvill made her home in Surrey (UK), with her husband, Phil Christensen, and two children: Kieran, born May 2002; and Jessica, born March, 2006. Although remaining close friends, the pair did not skate together again until they were enticed out of retirement to take part in ITV's ''Dancing on Ice''. Both are from Nottingham, England, where the local National Ice Centre is accessed through a public area known as Bolero Square, in honour of the pair's Olympic achievements. There is also a housing estate in the Wollaton area of the city named 'Torvill Drive' and 'Dean Close' which is located just off Torvill Drive, with many of the surrounding roads named after coaches and dances associated with the pair. In a UK poll conducted by Channel 4 in 2002, the British public voted Torvill and Dean's historic gold-medal-winning performance at the 1984 Winter Olympics as Number 8 in the list of the 100 Greatest Sporting Moments.〔(100 GREATEST SPORTING MOMENTS – RESULTS ) ''Channel 4''〕 ==Careers== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Torvill and Dean」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
