#SuryaBonaly's story at the 1998 #Nagano #WinterOlympics is a marvel

She committed an error and was out of medal contention. So she went "fuck it, if the judges don't appreciate me for my athletic gifts, I am going to win on my own terms" and was the first Olympic woman to do a #backflip in #figureskating *on one blade*

And sure enough, we talk about that today more than anything else from then

"Fuck the haters, I'll win on my terms, I'm going to live my life"

Be like Surya
