I Didn’t Know It Was Possible To Do A BACKFLIP !!!!

@NanLee1124 This lady did it in the 90’s

@NanLee1124 Ty🙏🏻, I thought I remembered something

Scott Hamilton has done them for years just not in competition

Interesting 😅

Been around since at least the 1990s but it was never a required element in competition. In fact I think at one time they were not allowed in competition, only skating exhibitions. See France’s Surya Bonaly at 1992 Albertville Olympics.

Thank you , 🙏🏻 there was something in the back of my mind about it

Surya Bonaly did it in the 1998 Olympics and Terry Kubicka successfully executed the backflip on Feb. 11, 1976 Olympic. It was banned after 1998.

Ty 🙏🏻

@KJV66 Never seen it landed on one skate.💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻

@KJV66 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻‼️‼️‼️

Holy cow, that’s gold medal stuff for sure!!! 🇺🇸🥇

Pretty amazing 🤩!!!

I thought that was immediate disqualification

I read something about it. There was a female skater that did it and they banned it afterwards, right?!

Holy crap that took balls.

Definitely 💯

The Great Scott Hamilton used to always do that...I believe he invented it on skates! 😊👍

@NanLee1124 You’re kidding me?! Me either !!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻💯🇺🇸

@NanLee1124 😂😂🤣

@FFT1776 Scott Hamilton did it a long time ago

@VeBo1991 A French female figure skater did it and was disqualified because it was made illegal in the 70s. I presume for female figure skaters.

Scott Hamilton was the first to do it in the Olympics, way back in the 70s

INSANE 🤩🤩👍👍👍

I don't no why remind me Edward Sissorhands

🤦‍♀️😂

Robin Cousins did one in the 80's. A Brit.

@MAC_ARMY1 Wasn't it Elvis stoyko who did the first one? 🤭

Right? Ava then land on one foot.,,on ice skates! ⛸️🔥

Ty❤️ it’s amazing 🤩

Been done before…

Flawless!!

I didn’t know that you can fall and still win the gold 🤣

Saw that 😬

Scott Hamilton did the first back flip WAY BACK in the 80s, but only in exhibition skating. It's not recognized as a legal element in the ISU playbook so no points are awarded. I guess they deem it too dangerous.

Scott Hamilton was doing backflips in the 80s

@MarkUltramaga He is awesome

When you can't compete against the best, You just make sure the best( Russia) isn't allowed to.

It has been possible for the last 30 years and more.

@JDjwhite54 Fabulous!!!🏅

Scottie Hamilton.

@joplin0828 🙏🧚🏻‍♀️ I believe there’s nothing Impossible for the BEST SKATERS 👏👏🙏👏👏

It was banned from the Olympics for the last 50 years and only in 2024 was allowed again. Also, landed it on one skate.

So incredible

Wow!!!

Not a sport Id watch but impressive

@FFT1776 Scott Hamilton.

You've never heard of Scott Hamilton? This was about 40 years ago (1984 - 1985, as I recall).
