Surya Bonaly

[Sylvia]

Just checked and didn't see a recent thread so creating a new one for Surya with this recent 12-minute appearance on “The Jason Show” ("a daily entertainment talk show hosted by Twin Cities media personality, Jason Matheson." - link originally was posted by @MacMadame in the 2026 Olympics subforum):

A delightful interview with Surya Bonaly about the backflip and her 2022 book:

Feb. 17, 2026 - "She's a figure skating legend! Surya Bonaly competed in 3 different Olympics for France. But many people remember her best for the iconic back flip she did on the ice. These days, Surya is a coach at a school in Minnesota. She joins Jason to talk about the pressure athletes face at the Olympics. We also get her take on Ilia Malinin's back flip, her new book and a memorable moment on Will & Grace."
