Olympic Grandstand

on BBC Two England

Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean ,
Britain's great hopes for gold, return to the Olympic stage ten years after capturing the ice dance title with their mesmeric Bolero routine.
Alan Weeks and Barry Davies bring live coverage of the compulsory dances, which form the first part of the competition. The British duo were only second in the compulsories in the European Championships last month, trailing Russian pair
Maia Usova and Alexandr Zhulin , but they proved eventual winners after a closely fought contest. Oksana Gritschuk and Evgeni Platov also emerged as gold medal challengers. The original and free dances follow on Sunday and Monday.
There's also ice hockey - favourites Russia against
Germany, Finland v Austria - and other highlights of the seventh day in Lillehammer, from biathlon to luge doubles,
Nordic Combined ski jumping to speed skating, together with news, views and analysis on all the essential action in Norway as the first week of the 17th
Olympic Winter Games draws to a close.
Introduced by Steve Rider and Sue Barker.
