Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson secured a bronze medal at the World Figure Skating Championships on Saturday.
Their free dance to a Beyonce medley gained them a total score of 207.11 at Boston’s TD Garden.
The last time Britain secured a medal at the championships was when Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean had a run of four through to 1984.
Fear, 25, said she “cried non-stop” after winning the medal and that it was “a dream come true”.
“I can’t even describe my feelings. I’m still shaking,” she added.
Gibson, 30, also said the pair’s achievement was a dream come true and thanked those who cheered them on.
“The crowd here was amazing, and insane,” he said.
“I think we got to the moment we really worked for, they were so loud and supportive, we are thankful to the audience.”
Fear told Sky Sports last month that it was a “huge honour” to be considered in the same sentence as Torvill and Dean, after Gibson was inspired to take up skating by the pair.

Torvill and Dean are best remembered for winning the gold medal at the 1984 Winter Olympics, after their Bolero routine.
The duo, who recently announced their retirement, are about to embark on a farewell tour, called Torvill And Dean, Our Last Dance.
They also served as judges on Dancing On Ice, which was recently put on ice by ITV, who confirmed there were no current plans for a new series.
