She was the 1st skater to attempt a quad, she was a 5 time Euro champion, 3 time worlds medalist, and 3 time Olympian. Quit reducing her to a single second of her fabulous career.
To clear up some myths:
Surya was not banned.
Racism wasnโt what kept her off the Olympic podium (but yes she experienced racism!).
The backflip wasnโt legal because it was landed on 1 foot.
There are 0 points for the backflip - itโs just for crowd attention.
Man went viral. That summer, ISU decides it likes viral internet moments and unbans the backflip.
What is white American man Ilia Malininโs role in all this? Nothing but luck of the draw. Heโs done nothing other than being the 1st skater to do it LEGALLY on Olympic ice. Thatโs it.
Fast forward to the 2023-2024 season.
Asian French man Adam Siao Him Fa decides to take a 2.00 point deduction on every Freeskate of the season.
I was in this audience so enjoy this tiktok:

Enter Nagano Olympics in 1998:
Skating with a groin injury, Surya entered the Free Skate in sixth place. Her injury affected her jumps - she fell on one jump, under rotated one, singled a planned double, and was unable to attempt her planned triple lutz. So she did the already banned backflip.
The ISU banned it the next year. In 1991, another white American man did a backflip at US Nationals.
It remained a banned element.
She was not the 1st person to do a backflip in the Olympics. Meet Terry Kubicka, the white American man who got the stunt banned:

Judges didnโt hate her:

Skating Skills is more than just clarity of edges, in fact, itโs less than 10% of the score.

While people call this the choreographers mark, it is very much on the skater to skate with musical phrase. Notice the multidimensional movement and use of space.

Presentation is pretty self explanatory, but notice the โvariety and contrast of energy and of movementsโ

NEW: Huge cheers earlier for the Ukrainian athletes at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony.
Then huge BOOS as JD Vance comes on the big screen in the stadium.
Even the commentators canโt hide itโฆ
Alisa Efimova / Misha Mitrofanov of USA - The best team in the US right now. They're two-time US champs but alas Alisa is Finnish and doesnโt yet have US citizenship. Their FS this year is a beautiful tribute to Gordeeva & Grinkov.

Jason Brown of USA - Jason brought back his most-famous FS as his SP this year, and I'm so sad we wonโt see Riverdance again at the Olympics.

Tomoki Hiwatashi of USA - Play Freebird!!! It looked all season like Tomoki might just make it to the Olympics in his final season, but alas he stumbled at Nationals.

Jimmy Ma of USA - Jimmy is THE entertainer of US Menโs skating. Heโs retiring this season but he left us a glorious, if imperfectly-skated gift.
