| | Washingtonpost.com: Torvill, Dean Win Crowd, Lose Judges |
 | | Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, the sensual 1984 Olympic gold medalists who now are 36 and 35, respectively, left the professional ranks, boned up on ballroom dancing, and returned for one more run at a gold medal in these Games. |
 | | Torvill and Dean said they were dumbfounded by the judges' reaction to their ballroom number, which couldn't have been further removed from their unforgettable performance to Ravel's "Bolero" in Sarajevo in 1984. |
 | | In fact, because of sultry performances like Torvill and Dean's and other Olympic winners in 1988 and 1992, officials changed the rules of the sport to get away from that, saying the free dance must have a rhythmic beat and a melody. |
