Serajevo '84

Had you been there, you would have seen,
performing ice dancing to Ravel's Bolero,
Jane Torvill and Christopher  Dean.

The pair proved to be an artistic sensation,
being awarded twelve perfect sixes scores
and being given, by the public, a big ovation.

Theiy skated in unison with great elegance
enriching the music with creative coregraphy
that gave the impression of intense romance.

Flowers rained on the ice rink at the end
in acknowledgement of a dazling spectacle
that perhaps it is impossible to trascend.
