What illegal move did figure skater Surya Bonaly famously pull off — and get penalized for — at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano?
Answer She did a backflip.
Backflips are fine in ice shows and demos, but were banned by the Olympics in 1976. In Nagano, and out of medal contention, Bonaly pulled off the flip — landing on one foot, no less — knowing she'd get a sizable deduction. In your eye, judges.
