Figure Skater

The Resume

    (December 15, 1973- )
    Finished 1st at the Goodwill Games (2000)
    French National Champion (1989-97)

Why she might be annoying:

    Her mother, Suzanne, is her coach and Suraly is her own choreographer.
    Many skating experts believe if she had a professional coach and choreographer, she would have done much better.
    She skated in three Olympics, her highest finish was 4th (1994).
    She is a vegetarian.
    At a World championship she finished third, but believed the judges scored her too low, so she refused and finally reluctantly climbed the third place pedestal.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Other than Debi Thomas, she was the only other black single women's figure skater in the Olympics.
    She trained as a gymnast, and thus has a greater athleticism than other female skaters.
    She is the first skater to do a back flip as part of her routine.
    She was adopted by a French white woman (Suzanne Bonaly).
