Figure skater Dmitry Aliyev performed a somersault during qualifying for the Russian Show Jumping Championships, held in Moscow.
At the end of his performance, the athlete performed a spectacular backflip.
A few days ago, French figure skater Adam Xiao Him Fa performed a backflip during his free program at the European Championships in Kaunas (Lithuania) and won tournament gold.
The ISU banned this item in 1976 due to the increased risk of injury. The judges deducted three points from the skater, which did not prevent Xiao Him Fa from winning.
The Russian Show Jumping Championship takes place from January 19 to 21 in Moscow.
