This was the most entertaining performance at the Olympics that year. To hell with Lapinski's triple-triples and Michelle Kwan's grace. Surya laid down the law and took no prisoners here! lol

@jayjay3830 True Surya is the TRUTH!

@bbukfan she was adopted.

It might have been illeagle for her to do the back flip but... She is the only skater male or female to have done it on Olympic ice... She knew she didn't have a chance at of a medal and so she preformed the back flip. She also finished with her back to the judges, that was a silent "F" YOU to them for all the years she'd been black listed... I hope where ever she is now that she's happy and healthy..

she is my favourite skater:)...she is amazing

is it just me or does the begining of the music sound like insidious?

@ithinkformyseIf negative people who hide behind computers never cease to amaze me...

If her mother had let her have a REAL skating coach, she would have gotten the basic skating skills that she never had. What she did for most of her career, was gymnastics on ice. Not because she couldn't do better, but because she wasn't allowed to learn.
She still is one of my favorites athletes to watch though, and always will be :) Hope you're living a happy life now, Surya!

@bbukfan I heard she moved to the US and became an American citizen in 2004.

Wish there were more skaters like her, like the commentor said: "she's doing it for the crowd!". When you think about it thats what matters the most, who cares what a handfull of judges think...and what an amazing move! I always think of this as the most amazing thing I've seen in figure skating ever.
