There is something extremely soothing about watching highly skilled ice-skaters gliding across the ice in ways that we would never have imagined possible. The body flexibility\u00a0and movement coordination that comes from these performances are awe-inspiring! We find ourselves wondering how people can be so agile and fluid in their movements, and how many hours of practice it must have taken for them to be so good. There is no doubt that rigorous training and a lot of\u00a0hard work are required to make it to the very top of the sport. World-famous ice-skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean know what it takes, and after a highly distinguished career as ice-skaters, they now judge competitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"753\" height=\"446\" src=\"https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-47.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-47.png 753w, https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-47-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-47-600x355.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, once in a while, they do get the chance to perform and they show that even after a lot of time away from competitively skating, the duo is just as good, if not better, than they used to be during the height of their fame. In March 2019, they\u00a0gave an incredible performance of \u201cBridge Over Troubled Water\u201d at the \u201cDancing On Ice\u201d championships on ITV. While their age has caught up with their bodies, the prodigious skaters are still able to outperform even the best skaters of today. After their performance was aired, netizens took to Twitter and other social media channels to share their views. Much like they amazed viewers back in 1984 during the Winter Olympics after their world-record performance, they continue to leave fans amazed today.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-48.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-48.png 720w, https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-48-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/istori.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-48-600x356.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Were you a Torvill and Dean fan back in the day?
