Oh, no, what sibling pair are gazing lovingly? I know of the Browns game (and want them to find a rich sugar daddy to fund them!)

I saw that when I was digging into all of it for correct dates and didnโ€™t want to put his name out there when I was reducing him to a white American man on the anniversary of his death ๐Ÿ’•

What sibling pair is going that? Most of the actual couples arenโ€™t even doing that on the ice.

On Surya:
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 wasnโ€™t what kept her off the Olympic podium (but yes she experienced racism!).

The backflip wasnโ€™t legal because it was landed on 1 foot.

There are 0 points for the backflip - itโ€™s 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 Malininโ€˜s role in all this? Nothing but luck of the draw. Heโ€™s done nothing other than being the 1st skater to do it LEGALLY on Olympic ice. Thatโ€™s it.

Your fav comeback moment? ๐Ÿ‘€ From 19th to bronze ๐Ÿฅ‰๐Ÿ”ฅ Adam Siao Him Fa lit up #WorldFigure 2024 with a clean free skate โ€” and yes, he sealed it with a BACKFLIP. Montreal wonโ€™t forget this one. ๐Ÿ’ฅ TikTok video by Home of Skating

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.

10.02.2026 03:56 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

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:

Can I live in an episode of Black Mirror and just have the name Surya Bonaly erased from my internet? IDC if yโ€™all want to chat about her but if I have to see one more person share some misinformation about her story I'm going to crash out.

Skating Skills is more than just clarity of edges, in fact, itโ€™s 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.

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 doesnโ€™t yet have US citizenship. Their FS this year is a beautiful tribute to Gordeeva & Grinkov.
