I'm sure it was emotional to see them once again dance that smashing dance. I remember it quite well and winning the gold has certainly helped them carve out careers for themselves. I do think that Christopher is struggling now 'tho which is hardly surprising.
Well so much for that theory!
Feel bitterly disappointed that they barely showed any of the routine let alone the full 4 minutes, I wanted to record it to keep alongside all my other T&D recordings from the last 30yrs.
Tracey, they said there would be a more indepth report on the BBC website, not sure if that includes more Bolero tough. And they will be performing it on the tour too, so that's something to look forward to!
(not sure why there is another thread here btw, I started one a couple of weeks ago, maybe they should be merged?)
You can't record from a website :-(
They've hyped it up for weeks and then not even give it proper TV coverage is appalling IMO.
Not everyone will be able to go to the tour to see it either.
Also not all people have access to computers especially some of the older generation who I'm sure would have loved to have seen this televised properly.
You could well be right, but nothing stays the same, does it? Exactly the same thing has happened in the world of ballroom & Latin - the competitors of yesteryear look positively pedestrian compared to the dancers of today.
Is it an improvement? It's all a matter of opinion; people either like it or they don't. Personally, I do; I think ice dance and ballroom are both far more exciting, although there are times when I think Latin (my main discipline)has tended to become too frenetic.
I've been watching some of the skating at the Olympics and it seems pretty boring these days. Maybe it's just me, but all the routines are very samey. I used to love watching it as a child.
The side-by-side twizzles are getting very tedious. There used to be more variety in the past.
They are awful. I was watching a couple this morning dancing a lovely Charleston inspired routine, and then in the middle they randomly did those silly twizzles. It totally spoiled the whole dance and makes all the routines very samey.
Does anybody know if there is going to be a full showing of Jayne and Chris's recent Bolero routine on terrestrial TV?
I can recall a certain Mr Dean commentating on a routine from Gritschuk and Platov - prior to T&D's ill fated return to the Olympics where the latter lost to the former. He made much of Ms Gritschuk's ability to twizzle - oh how that came to bite not only him back but the entire ice dance discipline!
The thing with the twizzles is they seem so out of place in something like the the Charleston routine I watched, you just wouldn't do something like that in a Charleston.
Sorry I'm not sure how to post the link, but the heading is:
