She did this illegal move at the time as a statement of rebellion after not being acknowledged ever for high medals she was more then qualified to be awarded for. And not to mention landed on ONE foot. Her name is Surya Bonaly https://twitter.com/_bloodsyn/status/1258849028764307458

Surya Bonaly did in fact win medals but never an Olympic medal. And at the 1998 Winter Olympics she made history after receiving low scores. That backward somersault landing on one foot looked Flawless! She left it on the rink. She is currently 46 now-

So her age should prove to you how young and alive racism and bias thrive in these sports that deem Black women’s bodies as over masculine, ungraceful, etc when they are doing moves that NO ONE can do.
