Timeline

1957

Jayne Torvill, OBE (born 7 October 1957) is a British professional ice dancer and former competitor.

1971

In 1971 at age 14 Torvill became the British National Pairs Champion with her then-partner Michael Hutchinson.

1975

After parting from Hutchinson, Torvill continued to skate on her own for a while before teaming up with Christopher Dean in 1975.

1980

On placing 5th in the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York, Dean gave up his job as a policeman and Torvill gave up hers as an insurance clerk to skate together full-time.

1984

With Christopher Dean, she won a gold medal at the 1984 Winter Olympics and a bronze medal at the 1994 Winter Olympics, becoming one of the oldest figure skating Olympic medalists.

Torvill was born in Clifton, Nottingham, England, and grew up in Nottingham.

She attended Clifton Hall Girls' Grammar School and worked in the city as an insurance clerk at Norwich Union.

She became hooked on ice skating at age 8 following an after-school trip to the local ice rink.

Torvill and Dean's free programme at the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics, performed to the music of Maurice Ravel's Boléro, became world-famous.

They received twelve perfect 6.0 marks, one of five occasions they were awarded all perfect scores for artistic impression.

It was one of the most popular achievements in the history of British sport, watched by a British television audience of 24 million people.

Since the time limit was four minutes and ten seconds and their music was four minutes 28 seconds, they began on their knees and moved their bodies to the music for 18 seconds before starting to skate.

Torvill and Dean turned professional after their 1984 Olympic win and under then-existing Olympic Committee rules their professional status made them ineligible to compete in the Olympics again.

1993

However, in 1993 the International Skating Union relaxed the rules for professional skaters, allowing the pair to participate in the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer where they won a bronze medal.

1998

Torvill took a seven-year break from skating from 1998 to 2005.

2006

From January 2006 to 2023, she and Dean have participated in the ITV show Dancing on Ice as "judges".

Each season, the show runs from January to March and then goes on tour to arenas across the United Kingdom.

2011

In November 2011, Torvill said, "the standard each year has gotten higher and higher, which is exciting for us – to think what we can achieve with people who have never skated or are relatively unknown to skating."

Dancing on Ice is scheduled to return in 2024.

2012

Torvill and Dean were ambassadors for the 2012 European Figure Skating Championships in Sheffield, England.

2014

In February 2014, Torvill and Dean visited Sarajevo for the 30th anniversary of the 1984 Olympics, and recreated their Bolero routine in the same arena where they won the gold.

Torvill currently resides in Heathfield, East Sussex, England, with her husband Phil Christensen and their children Kieran and Jessica.

In 2021 Torvill took part in an episode of DNA Journey where she found out she was related to footballer Charlie Bicknell, a cousin on her mother's side.

2018

Torvill was portrayed by Poppy Lee Friar in the 2018 biopic Torvill & Dean.
