本周Kirsty Young的弃儿是滑冰运动员Jayne Torvill和Christopher Dean。
自从他们在萨拉热窝冬奥会上夺得金牌后,已经过去了30年,让世界为之倾倒。这是一个令人难忘的时刻,也是一个 "你在哪里 "的时刻:对我们大多数人来说,答案似乎是在电视前,因为有2400万人收看了他们的紫气东来、充满激情、完美的表演。
他们持久的伙伴关系是体育界的传奇--英国、欧洲、世界和奥运会冠军--他们在冰场内外的同步性令人着迷。两人都在诺丁汉长大,都是独生子女,他们在彼此的几年内就开始了冰上运动。杰恩长大后做了一名保险职员,克里斯是一名警察。他们看起来总是那么正常,那么好,那么像邻家男孩和女孩。多么巧妙的把戏--实际上,他们的独创性、训练制度和对完美的不懈追求,使他们突破了他们所选择的运动的界限,跻身于世界精英之列。
我们对他们的迷恋部分也源于对他们个人关系的长期审查。不要忘了,几十年来,他们都与其他人结婚并有了孩子,最近在去年,他们终于承认了短暂的青少年 "涉足"。
他们说:"我们的关系很不寻常。... 当然,我们彼此相爱。如果没有爱,你就不可能做我们所做的一切"。

Kirsty Young's castaways this week are the ice skaters Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
It's 30 years since they enthralled the world winning gold at the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. So memorable, it was truly a "where were you when" moment: the answer for most of us seems to have been in front of the television as 24 million people tuned in to watch their purple chiffoned, passionate, pitch-perfect display.
Their enduring partnership is the stuff of sporting legend - British, European, World and Olympic champions - their synchronicity on and off the rink is fascinating. Both brought up in Nottingham, both only children, they took to the ice within a couple of years of each other. Jayne grew up to work as an insurance clerk, Chris was a policeman. They always seemed so normal, so nice, so much like the boy and girl next door. What a neat trick - in reality their originality, training regime and relentless pursuit of perfection has seen them push the boundaries of their chosen sport to rank among the world's elite.
Part of our fascination with them also stems from the long scrutiny over their personal relationship. Never mind that over the decades they've both married other people and had children, as recently as last year they finally admitted to a brief teenage 'dabble'.
They say, "It's an unusual relationship that we have. ... Of course we love each other. You wouldn't be able to do all that we do without love."
