is a form of pairs figure skating
which draws from the world of ballroom dancing
. It became a Winter Olympic Games
medal sport in 1976. It differs from "regular" pair skating by severely limiting throws and lifts.
The team of Torvill & Dean famously won the gold medal in Sarajevo in 1984, ensuring victory with a dramatic free skate to Ravel's Bolero which earned unanimous 6.0s in artistic merit.
