I remember when pair skating was more popular than ice dance.

It the program starts at 1:20 (first there's a fluff about their home town, Auschwitz, showing that there's not only the museum in the old concentration camp and people live there normally now and good athletes come from there).

Back in the day their lifts were pretty much revolutionary. More than ten years later they may seem more like the standard fare, but they used to teach other pairs during seminars on how to do such things (even while they still competed themselves).

Unfortunately they were unlucky during the Olympics, but they did get 2 bronzes and 2 silvers at the Euros and one bronze at the Worlds.

They've been happily married for over ten years and have a 2 year old son. They're coaching Stacey Kemp and David King. He is the International Technical Specialist for Poland
