The World Cup 1963, she could not deny, since Wilkes, posing for photographers at a lift ahead fell with his head on the ice and suffered a fractured skull. 1964 in Dortmund won Revell and Wilkes then in their third and final world championship bronze behind Marika Kilius and Hans -Jürgen Baumler and Lyudmila Belousova and Oleg Protopopov. The profit of bronze behind the two couples had them recently succeeded at the Olympic Games 1964 in Innsbruck.

After finishing his amateur career in 1964 Revell moved to the pros and ran for the Ice Capades revue together with Gertrude Desjardins.

In 1966, Wilkes and Revell informed that the International Olympic Committee had the silver medalist of the Olympic Games in 1964, Marika Kilius and Hans-Jürgen Baumler, due to the signing of a professional contract before the Winter Games, disqualified. The IOC member James Worrall handed the pair subsequently at the Canadian championships in Peterborough silver medal. In 1987 Kilius and Baumler by the IOC fully rehabilitated, but the medals were not changed back again.
