Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Torvill and Dean choreographed the recreation themselves, spending weeks teaching the actors to fake Olympic-level skill.
Their 1984 Sarajevo Boléro scored perfect 6.0s from every judge—still the only time that's happened in ice dance history, and this was made before they returned for the '94 Lillehammer controversy.
