2014 Olympic champion Meryl Davis knows what Gabriella Papadakis & Guillaume Cizeron were going through: Competing at the Olympics as gold-medal favourites and the weight that it brings. "We always want to become the best version of ourselves. When you are coming into a Games with an Olympic silver medal, the only way to move up is an Olympic gold," Davis tells us and explains why the French pair are the so mesmerising to watch. Papadakis & Cizeron delivered and took gold at Beijing 2022.

Olympic champions Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean were amongst the recipients of the 2021 ISU figure skating awards which were held virtually on Saturday, 10 July.
Given the exceptional season and limited season, a total of three time Lifetime Achievement Awards were presented at the second edition of the ISU

1984:  Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean of Great Britain wave to the crowd pose with their gold medals after winning the ice dance in the figure skating competition at the 1984 Winter Olympic Games held in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. The couple very nearly accomplished one of the greatest Olympic come-backs in history when they took advantage of the IOC rule change in 1993 enabling professional skaters to compete in the Games.  They caused raptures in the Games of 1984 in Sarajevo with their interpretationof Ravel's Bolero; for many among the millions who watched this Olympic event on television, the memory is indelible.  But ten years on, the pair were not quite able to recapture their verve and athleticism and finished in the bronze medal position in Lillehammer.
