The Winter Olympics have started and, we don't know about you, but seeing amazing figure skaters in action always makes us fantasise about having our own Torvill and Dean moment on the ice. Check out the most impressive routines of all time...

1. Yuna Kim - 2010 Olympics

Yuna Kim is the current world-record holder in a whole host of figure skating categories, and has received some of the highest ladies' scores in history. We can see why - her poise on the ice is insane. 

2. Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir - 2010 Olympics

The current Olympic champions create some serious magic every time they get on the rink, and we can't wait to see what they come up with in Sochi. Too romantic for words...

3. Torville and Dean - 1984 Olympics

Let's face it, these two are still the best. And this performance was pure perfection. No wonder they got the gold...

4. Peggy Fleming - 1968 Olympics

Peggy mixed things up and delivered one heck of an amazing - and modern - performance to clinch the gold in '68.

5. Shizuka Arakawa - 2006 Olympics

This gold medal-winning routine was the pinnacle of Shizuka's career, and she retired professionally after this incredible performance. Talk about a last hurrah.
