Terry Kubicka was the first amateur figure skater to perform a back flip in competition. He is also the last amateur skater to legally do a back flip in competition. Immediately after the 1976 Olympic and World Figure Skating Championships where Terry introduced the move, the backflip was banned from all future amateur figure skating competitions.
Terry Kubicka is also the first American to do a triple lutz.
