Thoroughly satisfying account of this famous ice-skating
pair's beginnings and career, leading up to the 1994

long-overdue book, which answers many questions we have
about Torvill and Dean: Were they ever romantically
involved? What did they really think about winning the
bronze medal at the 1994 Olympics? Will they retire in the
near future? Newcomers to the iceskating world will learn
the fascinating quirks and coincidences that paved the road
to championship for this pair.
