Anyone remember this from the '84 Olympics?

I do remember this and thought at the time that it was wonderful. However, I had forgotten how truly unique and beautiful it was. Thank you for reminding us.

And unique for another reason. There was a good reason for the graceful "dance" at the very beginning. The music was longer that allowed for the actual performance, so they couldn't move their skates until several seconds into the music, and they didn't want to just be standing and waiting.

It was a great performance, and as someone else said, I don't think it's ever been matched.

A lot of skaters have tried to copy their style since then, but IMO nobody has ever quite come up to their standard.
