Original Note:
Surya Bonaly was the first figure skater to go to the Olympics and perform a backflip, landed on one foot, in 1998. Surya faced racism in skating, but the backflip was not made illegal after she did it - it was made illegal in 1976, after Terry Kubicka did it https://slate.com/culture/2018/02/talking-back-flips-with-terry-kubicka-the-olympic-figure-skater-who-inspired-the-ban.html
