At 3:52 you see Torvill and Dean’s Bolero ice dance from Sarajevo which was at the time considered one of the greatest routines ever, until the NO FUN ALLOWED skating authorities stamped their regulatory feet.
In general, aesthetics in skating (as opposed to ice dancing) has been pretty much replaced by what the judges now want, which amounts to:
Race down the rink. Jump.
Race up the rink. Jump.
Race down the rink. Jump.
Race up the rink. Jump.
Race down the rink. Jump.
Repeat until time runs out.
