Skating to Perfection - Penelope A Goudie - June-July 1984

Penelope A Goudie

Tension was mounting. A little flower girl skated to the side of the ice rink to pick up garlands of flowers that the crowd had thrown. Everywhere she looked the stadium was filled with people watching, waiting. At the other end of the rink a young woman skater, Jayne Torvill, smiled at the flower girl. She and her partner, Christopher Dean, paused before beginning their dance. They were the last to skate in this competition - the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
