Perhaps none more so than the Bolero free dance of British pair of Torvill and Dean that earned perfect scores at the 1984 Olympic Games.
But for many Canadians, that moment was replaced by the home-crowd performance delivered by Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir in Vancouver 2010 to become the youngest Ice Dance champions in Olympic history.
The golden duo, however, was not content.
The partnership that started when she was seven and he was nine would continue through to Sochi 2014, in search of their own Bolero – an artistic and athletic performance that would define the pair’s legacy.
They danced beautifully and despite a season-best, settled for silver.
Four years later they were named Team Canada’s flag bearers Pyeongchang. Here they made a triumphant return to the Olympic stage winning gold as part of Canada’s team in the Olympic team event and following this up with another gold in the Ice Dance competition.
