The 1984 Winter Olympics were held in Sarajevo, in what was then Yugoslavia, the first Winter Games held in a communist country and the first held in a predominantly Muslim city. British ice dancers Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won gold with a perfect set of scores for their free dance performance to Ravel's Bolero, widely regarded as one of the most memorable performances in figure skating history. Sarajevo's Olympic venues were heavily damaged years later during the Bosnian War.
