When I saw her back in 1989, I thought she had great potential. Her coaches, however, were never able to correct her "vertical" skating (i.e., her skates don't really slide well across the ice), which I feel was her biggest weakness.
If she got disqualified, why did we see scores at the end? I think she just got a deduction, which is still dumb. The back-flip was made illegal in the first place because the skater can't land on two blades, which obviously doesn't apply here.
she knew that she wasnt goin to get a medal cuz she mess up on to jumps, so she's like wtf?!? i'll just go out with a bang!! so she did the flip to entertain the audience, this is how she ended her career, i feel bad for her, this century (90's) still tons of recentment against black ppl, well it's a new century and millinium now n racist is goin down the toilet little by little
she was out of contention after the fall...she could have done a perfect program after that and it wouldn't have gotten her anything, so she said screw it, I'll do what I want--if I'm not gonna win a thing I think I might as well go out with a bang and give these people a show. What the hell...I would too.
If I'm not mistaken, she is still considered the only figure skater in the world to accomplish the one-bladed backflip...unless there was maybe one other person, but as far as I know, that's a strict Surya move...and one hell of a protest move at this competition...she even finished wth her back to the judges since that backflip was for the crowd. Way to go Surya!
Ah yes.....I've seen another skater do a double bladed simple backflip, but I'd never known of anyone besides Surya to successfully land a one-bladed backflip...Thanks for confirming. I often wonder if anyone else will make this move part of their repertoire, but in all honesty... I'm thrilled that the move BELONGS to Surya and no one has been able to accomplish the feat. Simply amazing athleticism to pull it off repeatedly.
The "insane backflip" was done *because* of the fall. It is a disallowed move, and as such to do it would result in disqualification.
She would not have done it, but because of the fall she would have no chance of a medal, and she knew this of course, so she decided to just do the forbidden move.
Apparently there's an actual risk of her killing herself if she fucked up doing that (and landed on her head for example) which is why it's banned.
very nice how she handled the fall, that's all part of the presentation. I saw a vid of her before, and her jumps were amazing, but her regular skating was nothing special. much better here! lovely.
despite the contrary opinion of figure skating elites - I think she is a wonderful stylist - watching her skate it like looking at work of the great expressionist painters - her choreography, they unique execution of her jumps and spins, and her customes are all MAGNIFIQUE - elle aurait du gagne au moins une medaille olympique.
Oh! I knew that she was living in U.S, but didn't know about the Citizenship! No problem! We can share her! lol! She live in my hometown during a long time, and I remember well see her training her back flip on the Trampoline of my gymnasium!
人種差別に対する抗議でやったと言われてますね。
失格になるのをわかっててやったんだから天晴。
差別があったなら失礼なのは審判のほう。
知らずに批判するのも失礼な話ですよ。
伊藤みどりさんのときもルール変更が恣意的でした。

このバク宙シーン覚えてます。過去の試合や世界選手権とか、いろんな面で自分の納得いかないジャッジに対する、彼女なりの、叫びに見えました。当時の女子スケーターで身長くらい、バネの有るジャンプ跳んでるのは伊藤みどりさんやボナリーさんくらいじゃないですか。かっこよかったです。

She was great!
There is no skater who can land by sigle leg like her though there are a lot of male skaters who can do Back Flip.
