Original Note:
Backflips were banned in competition in 1976, when Surya Bonaly was 3 years old. She performed her backflip in 1998. This tweet implies that it was banned to discriminate against her, which is not the case. Any skater who performs an illegal move is penalized. https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2018/02/24/20-years-later-figure-skatings-most-famous-backflip-remains-amazing-and-illegal/amp/
