23 years ago, figure skater Surya Bonaly pulled off a spectacular backflip, landing on one skate, in the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics. But it didn’t count. In fact, Bonaly was penalized because a backflip is an illegal move in competition. Bonaly had been the world silver medalist from 1993-95 but, at the Olympics, she was in 6th place with an achilles injury.

Surya Bonaly landed a backflip on one blade during her free skate at the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Nagano. At the time, the move was banned under Olympic rules. She knew it wouldn’t score and would likely be penalized. She did it anyway. Often referred to as “the Bonaly backflip,” the move was officially authorized in competition in 2024. Her moment remains historic. Source: Olympic Games Archive (Nagano 1998) | NWE

Surya Bonaly, l’une des plus grandes patineuses françaises, a marqué l’histoire du patinage artistique en réalisant un backflip unique aux Jeux olympiques de Nagano en 1998, atterrissant sur une seule lame, une prouesse jamais vue auparavant. À l’époque, cette figure était interdite en compétition, et malgré l’ovation du public, elle fut sévèrement pénalisée par les juges, terminant loin du podium. Aujourd'hui de jeunes patineurs comme Ilia Malinin tente de reproduire son exploit aux JO de Milan
