Backflip in Figure skating

[chicken]

She made history on her terms, the judges can't take that away. Legendary move, unforgettable performance.

Jokes on them, judges may deducted points, but she is in figure skating history forever!

[tracyhope]

The smile on her face is a indication that what she accomplished is beyond the medal!!!

[rasools]

She was a fire on ice, such a powerful moment to show that she was at the top of her craft with or without the points.

[riotbreaker]

She didn't do it for the points, she did it to prove that she could, absolutely unstoppable grace

[annnee]

That backflip made her immortal, much more than winning a gold would have done even

[GossipnDrool]

She didn't need the judges validation. Absolutely incredible.

[JerseyDevilJerseyGirl]

I still remember her name for this. She had the most beautiful outfits, also!

[vichenzadoorian]

When her set was done she turned her back to the judges and bowed to the crowd. Absolutely insane, what a performance. If I was a judge I’d refuse to deduct points for that.

The judges won't be judging forever but she will forever be immortalised for her creativeness and courage to do that move. Cheers to you champ.

Deducted points on the day - but immortalised in history. Worth it!

This performance made me love her. She is my favorite skater, and I started figure skating in 1994 because of this Olympics.

I remember watching this live. I grew up watching her skate, she's such a legend.

[Skarlett.Rose.Ink.]

I remember watching this live as a 12 year old figure skater. It completely blew my mind, and I screamed, and fell over out of excitement. Then she epically bowed to the crowd instead of the judges after. Rock star level.

With grace she skated into history. She’s a Legend.

Scott Hamilton did backflips when he was skating to entertain (aside from competition games) but I think he usually landed on both feet. For Suraya to land such a difficult maneuver on only one foot & to maintain her graceful posture is beyond artistic!!

[zeldalavender]

And that’s how it is done. No score needed. PRICELESS! ❤❤❤

[BroDCDAB]

Screw the judges. She did what they couldn't do when they skated. Bravo lil Sis. 🎉

[thefunnyman]

Sounds like she got a standing ovation from the crowd and deserved the gold!
