Doreen Denny is a British ice dancer. With partner Courtney Jones, she is the 1959 & 1960 World champion[1] and 1959-1961 European champion.[2]
After the 1961 season, Denny and Jones announced their retirement from competitive skating, as Denny planned to marry Italian dance champion Gianfranco Canepa and move to the Continent.[3]
Following her retirement from competitive skating, she became a coach. She coached at the Broadmoor Skating Club and among her students were Colleen O'Connor & Jim Millns, whom she coached to an Olympic medal.[4]
In 1982, Denny's 1959 World Champion tray was stolen during a burglary at her home. It was returned to her in 2010.[5]
