correction: The backflip she did was technically legal since the reason it was considered "illegal" was because a backflip is typically landed with 2 feet while ice-skating jumps are standardized to be landed on only 1
Nah, she had technical skill but lacked other important elements in figure skating. Y'all are high on your own fumes again. There was no bias against her.
This video is NOT the free skate where she did the backflip. That was the 98 Olympics…this video is the Exhibition Skate from 94 Olympics…no judges…no rules…just to put on a show. Surya had been doing the backflip in warm ups and exhibitions for YEARS!
If you punch a guy in the balls in a boxing match, you don’t cry about the consequences. It’s dangerous. They were probably more concerned about young girls breaking their necks on tv than they were about her ego.
A little known skater Stacy Pensgen could do a back flip and land on one leg. She was a gymnast before turning to figure skating. I think her highest placing was eighth at the World's in Japan. Bonaly really was extremely athletic but not much of a virtuoso on the ice. She didn't stroke, she hopped across the ice. Her programs weren't artistic enough.
Funny, but why does the "not artistic enough" title ALWAYS apply to phenomenal Black female athletes? People say the same thing about Simone Biles in an effort to downgrade her greatness. Just replace the "artistic" part with "white."
@@likeisaidjenkins3689 These are the opinions of the judges. Not particularly my sentiments. You managed to make this a racist issue. It's how she skates. Black, White, Yellow, Olive or whatever.
@@likeisaidjenkins3689just because one can do a back flip and land on 1 leg shows that you can do it, but not gracefully or with eloquence she wobbling all over and unsteady..theists is figure skating dance routine not friggin hop scotch..christ can anyone say anything at all anymore without someone bringing up race or calling it a lie ?cop on
Simone Biles is an amazing multi gold medal gymnast and no one says stuff like that about her. This is not the same thing at all anyways and this is an amazing move that this skater can do. Aren't y'all getting tired of the same old racist rants that are so untrue? I know I am.
@shannonjmsn2011 I can imagine how tiring and draining mentally that must be..again, the effects of y/our forefathers unresolved issues of classism eloquently referred to as racism 😒 UNFORTUNATELY stems from that unresolved fact. 🤏 a small annoyance in comparison to lifetime inhumane slavery. Sorry you're not deserving of such cruelty yet my ancestry was and IS.
She chose. This was an amateur competition. There are rules, and she didn’t like to play them. The judges have been generous enough to give her a silver, and then she refuses it.

Back flip is back flip it was illegal.
@@nothingmuch44
No they're right technically it was legal
I just watched that video. Literally brought me to tears, esp after she stumbled at 1st. WHAT a legend. 🙏👑👑👑👑
She was too powerful
Proof that the Olympics really is biased af

Actually it was matched, once, by herself 😂😂 Queen went and performed this move at the olympics again in 1998
98 is the only time she did it in competition. This video is from 94 Olympic Exhibition skate…that was not judged.
@ArtByDesign80 Ooops my bad this is 94'. Still my original comment stands, it was matched, by herself. Judged or not she did it twice ahah.
Existem pessoas que o mundo não é digno delas. Surya Bonaly certamente é uma delas. Que mulher à frente de sua época!
🎵"You did a backflip
And I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere"🎶
🎶I remember you were skating, skating on that ice. You did a backflip and it looked so nice.🎶 I wonder how many people will get what you were doing.
🎵"I know things will get better,you'll find skates and ill get promoted🎶
May God continue to bless you, always my sister
The reason it's illegal is because it's so bloody dangerous...so easy to break ur kneck
🎉Yayyy🎉👑SURIYA👑

Some people don’t like when you raise the bar!
Might as well she do it because they would have never give her first place. So she did the one move no one else can do ❤
Im sure many others can its just illegal in competition.
The greatest move

I love her❤❤
Truly amazing
🤩❤❣️💯PHENOMENAL BEAUTY 👏 and poetry in motion ✨️ 😍
I agree with it to be banned..it is unnecessary risky
If it was prohibited why exactly did she had to do it?
😂❤❤❤😮 wow that's unbelievable😢 but I'm so proud of her❤❤❤
2024 jeux olympiques en France ; coca et cie utilisent l'image de cette stars !!!😮
