Orville and Dean are British ice dancers and British, European, and Olympic champions. At the 1984 Winter Olympics the pair became the highest scoring figure skaters of all time (for a single program) receiving 13 perfect 6.0s, including artistic impression scores of 6.0 from every judge.
The pair turned professional following the 1984 Olympics, regaining amatuer status briefly ten years later in 1994 to compete in the Olympics once again. The pair retired from competative skating for good in 1999, but continue to work professionally, both separately and as a pair.
