Ten versions of "Bolero..."


... (although, ironically, not the "10" version of Bolero) have been assembled at Frogsmoke . The one I've embedded above is that of British ice dancers Torvill and Dean, who skated to Boléro at the 1984 Winter Olympics, a performance which apparently is still the only one ever to have received a perfect score from every judge.

That was recorded 25 years ago; ice dancing has become more athletic since then, but some would argue not necessarily better.
