So what is the point? Regarding Surya’s backflip, she had tremendous experience doing so as a gymnast. She’s incredibly strong and skilled that she didn’t even fall during her backflip on the ice. She’s the only skater of her generation to do so, since with the men that is already slated to be overrated so it was extremely rare to see her land that backflip on one leg while Rory Flack landed it with the typical both feet, though not in competition like Surya did.

Surya Bonaly performed her backflip and landed on one foot because the ISU banned it when you landed on two feet. They did not think one would attempt it with one foot.

What's even more impressive is WHY Surya Bonaly did the backflip even though it was banned in competition. She has ruptured her achilles tendon the season prior and suffered permanent damage from it. She was unable to perfectly execute some of the 'legal' moves that she planned in her routine, like the triple lutzes everyone had become obsessed with at the time, so she decided to pop in a one-legged backflip instead. She lost out on medaling, but she gained more worldwide fans than ever and became one of the most talked-about athletes of the Olympics that year.

Aspen Robinson Surya was robbed in the 1993 World’s. Sure, Oksana was as graceful as a swan, but she two footed several jumps and her spins were sloppy. Surya’s jumps were terrific, cleanly landed, and her spins remarkable. Likewise, Nancy Kerrigan was unfairly denied the gold at the 1994 Olympics in favor of the charming Baiul. Again, Baiul’s jumps were so unimpressive-two footed and she almost fell on one. Her spins were slow and traveled. She did a very simple combination at the end. Kerrigan, on the other hand, did several difficult combinations, all her jumps were clean and her spins difficult and centered. The judges marked Baiul way too high on technical - almost identical to Kerrigan’s - which was utterly ridiculous. That’s how Baiul won. Mary Scotfold, Kerrigan’s choreographer, said she felt the judges penalized Kerrigan for the Nancy-Tonya scandal - it “sullied the sport.” Which was utterly insane - Kerrigan had NOTHING to do with that - it was all Harding & her gang of hoodlums.

Aspen Robinson Exactly! And Surya was robbed in 1993!

I was one of just two people in my country during my period of skating who could do a backflip at the time. I once did one at a major competition during the 6 minute warmup (the official warmup right before you compete your program) to show off for the ladies and have a bit of fun and initially, people thought it was funny. After I won the gold medal, however, the coaches of my competitors lobbied the judges and decision makers to have me disqualified and have my medal stripped from me for performing an illegal manoeuvre during competition. The judges got out the rule books and after a few hours of discussions came back and said they couldn’t find any rule stating that banned manoeuvres could not be performed during the official 6 minute warm up, so my 1st place position stood. Awesome memories.

Bonaly performed the flip after some stumbles during her routine. She knew she was out of medal contention, so she wanted to go out with a bang for the audience. One of my favorite Olympic moments.

Olympic skating is amazing, but my favorite experience watching figure skating was when I went to Disney on Ice where there were no illegal moves. They did so many amazing moves I’d never seen in the Olympics (like twirling the girl by her leg!) They used props and put on a fantastic show, and were allowed to be creative. In the Olympics there are so many rules, that many of the programs skaters do look so similar to each other.

I so loved watching Surya do backflips. She was just marvelous and so fun to see. I wish you had included the names of all the skaters because my memory is not what it used to be and I think it is only fair to the skaters if you use video of them to include their names.

I'm sure there are plenty of viewers who love it, but I hate it.

skate blades are dull enough so if you pressed your finger against it, it wont cut you, the only time it would is if you are pushing and going at a certain speed. ice is really easy to mark so thats why you don't need much force to create a trail, you see when they do the back flip the ice breaks a bit, it just shows how delicate it is. human skin on the other hand isn't, when you cut a whole lettuce or anything but take lettuce for example, you apply force to the top of the knife to cut it in half, this doesn't cut you because the blade isn't sharp on the top side and your skin is rough enough to endure it.

Lying down in competition stemmed from Torvill and Dean's perfect Bolero, many people just copied the idea of that.

When you ''fall'' dramaticaly on the ice you don't hit the ice and you slowly lay down your head. The only way it can be dangerous to fall on the ice is if it is an accident, in that case it is just too obvious and there will be no mistaking nor delay.

TIL that despite the fact that I have the "cling on to someone/something to keep my balance like my life depends on it and still fall constantly" level of skating I can do 3 banned skating moves. I can lay down on the ice, I can use a prop (especially those walker things), and I can take off clothing items while on the ice
