31 h. ago Fear and Gibson eye worlds breakthrough as Chock and Bates chase ice dance history

Britain’s most noteworthy figure skating duo since Torvill and Dean are aiming to put sport back in spotlight of 1984More than four decades have come and gone since Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean enamoured the world with their epochal Boléro routine at the 1984 Winter Olympics, collecting a slew of perfect 6.0s from the judges and a permanent place in British sporting lore. Their names remain shorthand for excellence in figure skating – especially in the UK, where the sport has long since faded from the spotlight.This week in Boston, however, another British ice dance duo are quietly building on a legacy of their own.

59 h. ago I found the world’s worst bread recipe – and I love it | Adrian Chiles

It tastes a bit weird, but it’s 288 times quicker to make than a loaf of sourdoughI don’t like offering advice unless it’s in a field in which I consider myself an expert, and there are precious few of them. I can give you comprehensive guidance on where to park, eat and drink near West Brom’s ground – Stoney Lane and the Soho Tavern, if you’re interested. I’m also good on choosing urinals for domestic use – get one with a lid. But other than that, in the expertise department I’m a bit short. So I try to stay in my lane, because there will always be plenty of people who know much more than me about the matter at hand.Recipes are a good example. The Guardian alone has dozens of great cookery writers, so how dare I muster the temerity to throw a little something of my own in the pot? The temptation is great, as I forever yearn to be asked how I’ve made something. If I cook something that seems to be going down well, I ache for my victim to ask if I would mind sharing the recipe.
