coucou Surya:
I'm sorry, but I don't speak French. I'm one of your Mexican fans. as you know, Mexico is one of the countries where the ice skating is taking great force. I've following your skating since i saw you in a world championship and I'd like to tell you, you're the best female skater I've never seen

Salut Surya,
Tu onus manques énormément en France mais j'espère que tu te plais bien aux Etats-Unis et que tu t'éclates à fond.
Bonne Chance pour tes prochaines compètes et gala et si tu croise Philippe Candeloro dit lui que lui aussi nous manque beaucoup et revenez vite nous voir.

P.S.Vous avez été géniaux en Février chez Julien Courbet(Succès)c'était un plaisir de vous voir.
      Salut,

Surya que le patinage amateur est triste depuis ton départ ta technique sans égal lui fait défaut la France a bien du mal à retrouver son étoile sur glace.On ne regrette jamais plus ce que l'on a pas su garder.Tu restera la meilleure patineuse que la France à eut la chance d'avoir sans s'en rendre compte, et une des rares étoiles qui laissent des traçes dans la sphére mondiale Merci pour le rêve Bises

chere surya,
tres impressionne lors de notre rencontre a l'aeroport de los angeles, j'ai oublie de vous remercier pour l'autographe. Il a deja fait le tour de la societe DUPUY, societe fabriquant du cognac.
Ce serait avec plaisir que nous vous enverrons des exemplaires de notre produit. Toutefois nous aurions besoin d'une adresse ou l'envoyer...
J'espere que vous allez nous faire vibrer et tourner longtemps encore sur les patinoires du monde entier. C'est un ravissement de voir cette alliance de technique et de grace, pas toujours reconnus. Ne pas s'inquieter, c'est dans l'adversite que l'on donne le meilleur de soi . En tout cas, nous on en redemande. Merci et j espere a bientot lors de mon prochain passage a las vegas.

Chère Surya que le patinage amateur esttriste depuis ton départ tu restera celle qui aura fait le plus évoluer le niveau technique, en ce qui concerne l'évolution des juges il y a encore du boulot en espérant te revoir bientôt en France bises You are simply the best...

Dear Surya!,
Hi! My name is Shayna. I am an synchronized ice skater, an I am on a team. I recently went to an Eastern Championship, we had much fun. I met a lot of new people and we hung out together, which was hard because all we had time to do basically was to practice and compete. My team mates are like my sister's and cousins. When I grow up, i want to be a skater. 
I am 12 years old. I am in the 6th grade. My social studies teacher said we had to do a research paper on a African-American rolemodel for Black History Month (February), and of course, I picked you. You are a great skater. I wish you the best of luck! Sk8 Gr8!

Syncro Skater,
Shayna


You are the hottest person on ice EVER whether they want to recognize it or NOT.  We know you are!  You go girl!!! My dream is to one day see you perform in person and be able to take my mother.  She loves you also!!!!!

Dear Surya,
I love your skating! But more than that I love your spirit! You are an example to all the world. Your courage, sense of adventure and individualism encourages us all to be ourselves no matter what. You encourage others to keep on going in the face of prejudice and unfairness. I love the way you choose to fight back..with a new level of skating everytime...you are the best. I really identify with you probably because we are born a day apart. My birthday is December 14th. I am also adopted and have a very supportive mother! I am also a rebel and I too refuse to be defeated. I have strong beliefs in fairness and equality, it really touches me when I see you being misjudged..but you rise to a higher level everytime. I hope we can keep in touch. Email me at lagrand@bellsouth.net.You are an inspiration and truly a Black Butterfly.

Yo Surya, you rock!!  I am doing a project on you and I think it would be cool if I got your input!  Could you write me a letter? ras40@bellatlantic.com  Another big fan, Jessi Sharp : )

Chère Surya, 
je n'ai jamais cases d'être l'une de tes fan les plus fidèles, et j'ai encore gardé toutes tes prestations télévisées. Malgré les succès de nos patineurs français actuellement, la "grande époque" du patinage semble révolue chez les amateurs depuis ton départ chez les pros. J'ai eu le plaisir de pouvoir te voir en gala avec l'équipe de France en 1994, c'est un souvenir formidable! Pourrais-tu m'envoyer une photo dédicacée, STP? Je te joins mon e.mail: cmazeron@hotmail.com
Bisous et bonne continuation!

Surya,
I have to say you are the best of the best. I Why they don't give you the gold is one of the great injustices in sport.
Keep skating, I love to see my sisters in your sport. You encourage a lot of youth to go for their dreams no matter what color. You and Debbie Thomas have laid a great foundation. Thanx again for all the great memories 
Your Biggest Fan,
Ben

Bonjour Surya, 
Je vois par ce site que vous avez une belle carrière en tant que professionel mais je trouve qu'il est dommage que l'on ne puisses pas vous voir plus souvent sur les télévisions francaises. C'est toujours un plaisir de voir votre beauté et grace sur Nos ecrans.

Je suis désolée mais je ne comprends pas l'anglais et je voulais juste vous féliciter pour votre carrière et vous demander si 'adaptation de Vivaldi ayant servi à votre prestation est sorti en CD. Beaucoup de réussite pour cette saison

 Hey Surya, I'm not sure if you actually check your site messages personnally;I know that I have one site that I check personally,and I have a page on my company site that our publicist responds to,but I thought I'd give you a special hello just in case...Well hello this is the guy from Nevada Power who comes by every month.If you do happen to read your messages here give me a hollar or send me a e-mail at my page at kryda@blackplanet.com well I'm happy to drop you a line and I hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Queen Surya,
Hello from two of your biggest fans. My partner and I never miss an opportunity to see you. We believe that you are the most exciting and superlative skater that has ever graced the ice. You put so much energy and grace into your programs. We would like to thank you for being the greatest skater we have had the privilege to watch.  
Sincerely, Stephen & Robert Watt/Gass

I watched your COI performance last night on TNT. I have not seen you perform for sometime now. I was really looking forward to seeing you perform again. Thanks again for another wonderful program!!!! I have already watched it more than once.  I am truly a fan of yours. Thanks for all the great performances.  

Hello Surya
I love the way you skate, I really appreciate, the gala performances. I remember one , in special, it was in the world championship, in which you deserve to win, your vivaldi performance was sensational. I remember the day of the gala, in which you have a silver dress, it was phenomenal, your performance and the music. I have this music in mind since then. Can you tell which artist sang this song, I think it´s Yma Sumac, can you tell me if it´s she or not, and the song,and if you know from which cd you took it. Thank for all your help, the last time I saw on TV, was in the Nagano Olympiad in which you perform the way you like,despite the judges, I found it strong. Thanks in advance for all your help. My e-mail address is iislandes@hotmail.com

Dear Surya, I am another one of your many fans, I get great joy in watching you skate. Continue your quest and your dreams will come true. Your are the most beautiful and talented. God bless you.

hello Surya,
remember me? I'm your biggest fan. You put my birthday message the home page. Sorry i haven't been to your site in a while. My mom talked to your manager, Were going to get back stage passes for when you come to D.C for the champions on ice tour in April. I just have one quick question. What was the musical selection you used for your 92 Olympic long program?
e-mail at outersenshi86@aol.com,
bye :~)

Bonjour, Surya!!!
  I am an woman of African descent here in America and I think you are the epitome of black beauty and grace, I have always wanted to ice skate but never saw any other black girls doing it so I thought it would be next to impossible.  I noticed you once years ago on TV because we look very much alike and when I saw you I cried!!!!  You reaffirm my own beauty!!!  Whenever you don't get the Points you think you deserve, just remember that your fans know you are the best and you are influencing a lot of young ladies!!!  You have an important role simply because we in the black American community hold you with a great deal of regard!!!  Stay strong, stay proud and know that the creator loves you!!!!

Dear Surya,
I love you and your skating. Your Style is absolutely incredible.  I enjoy your enthusiasm and your strength.  You got it going on !!!  I just wanted to encourage you and let you know that you are loved and that you have many fans.  Keep up the good work.  It would really bless me if you would PERSONALLY write me a note via email or even call me, that would be even greater.  I know that you probably get many requests from your fans to call or write and I am sure that you may not have the time to answer them all.  I just hope that when you read my email you will find the time to please please drop me line or better call me for a brief talk.  It would really make my millenium!!!!  By the way would it be possible to get a autographed picture of?? Let me know.  Well I really hope to hear from you soon!!!  My email address is: joquinn@prcnet.com  and my phone number is (snip) I really hope to hear from you.
LOL  John from Jacksonville Florida

I think that you are AWESOME.  I love to see you skate. Please write me back at:  joquinn@prcnet.com.  ALso if you can I would love an autographed picture of you.  Please respond I axiously await your message.  John

Bonjour Surya,
Depuis ton départ en professionel, tu me manque énormément, lors des compétitions amateurs à la télévisions, mais vue l'attention que les juges te portait, vallait mieux leur rire au nez et commencer une carrière professionnelle.
Tu m'as permis surya de passer d'agréables moments inoubliables, celui de lille particulièrement où j'ai pu te lancer des roses rouges.
J'aimerais recevoir une photos dédicassée et de tes nouvelles surya, voici mes coordonnées,

I have to be your biggest fan.I love the way you skate.I watch you all the time.I have never got the opportunity to see you skate in person,but when I do I will be in the front row cheering you on.I enjoyed watching you skate with Rudy.I love when you first come out on the ice!I get so excited.I love to watch you compete.Sometimes I get really frustrated when the judges give you really low marks.I want to be a judge so I can give you a perfect score everytime!I think its amazing when you land your back flip one footed.I get pumped up.I always like the music you choose.Its so different!If I had one wish I would want to meet you.It would be the best thing that ever happened to me.Good luck with everything you do in the future.I will always be your biggest fan.I will see you skate in person the next time you come here.Take Care!

   Your biggest fan,
     Brittany 

Dear Surya; I am not an African American. I am a grandmother and have enjoyed your skating since way back in the early 90's. You are different and a beautiful young lady. Your presentations are unique and you are very strong. I have always been disappointed that the judges have not appreciated your style as I felt they should. I am glad that you turned pro so that you could express yourself the way that you should. You are a favorite in this country - and that is evident by the way the crowds react to your skating. I always look forward to programs that include you. I wish you a long and successful career. 
Sincerely, mlhill65@yahoo.com

Dear Surya,
We have watched you skate as an amateur and often wondered why your marks weren't higher?  How does it feel to be the best in the world but not recognized for it?  Thank you for blazing a trail, being a pioneer for many young African and African-American youngsters to follow.
Sincerely,
The Snell Family

Hi Surya,
How are you doing? My name is Sherone I love to watch you skate I skate to I just started in June of 2000 I've wanted to skate since I was little.I would love to meet you someday or even see you perform live.I want to be just like you a really good skater. I hope all your skating goes well.
Your #1 fan Sherone 

Hey! You are truly an amazing athlete with a lot to offer to the sports world. Please keep on being a good role model! Thanks again. Grace SKCAUDILL@prodigy.net

Hello Surya
Since 1992, I have followed figure skating, and I have never seen such an exquisite and poised skater than yourself.  It has been such a pleasure to watch you all these years, and I hope to continue to watch you.  I know you feel that the judges misjudge you at times, like they did at the recent World Pro Championships, but God is the ultimate judge, and he will give you all the victories you deserve.  Well, I really enjoy watching you skate.  I love how you pump your right foot into the ice before going into a triple flip or your split jump set uo into triple toe triple toe.  You to me are the best all-around skater, and the back flip speaks for itself, and I hope that you continue to do it in combination with a triple jump, hopefully one day a triple lutz.  Well, Surya, it has been a pleasure, and I hope I can meet you one day, and I have one wish, that you never let your technical side mellow down, and please do the triple toe-half loop-triple salchow for me again one day.  If you would like to email me, I can be reached at Gimmesum82@aol.com.  My name is Marquis, and you are representing blacks in athletics to the fullest level.  Thank You so much Surya, and God Bless!

Hello Surya,
Just to let you know that my husband and I love watching you skate.  You have your own style and we love to see young people been themselves.  Congratulations!  from Ofelia and Tony.

Hi Surya, my name is Marame Gueye and I am from Senegal in West Africa. I first want to say that you are the best. I watched you last night and it was amazing. I watch skating since 94 because of you. The two of us look so much alike that people call me everytime you are on t.v to ask me whether we are related. It is amazing how we look alike. I am a graduate student now in Binghamton NY and I was a handball player for ten years. I wish I could send you a picture of me through the net. But if you give me your address I will mail it to you. It is not a joke I see my own person every time I see you. I had pictures of you on my walls. Good luck and the future and know that you are the best no matter what!!
Love Marame

Dear Surya,
Hello how is everything going? My name is Brandon Booker. I am a sophomore at Saint Albans High School in West Virginia. I've seen you skate here in West Virginia several times, but I'll never forget the very first time I saw you perform live. It was my birthday February 10 and it was my first time going to an ice show. When I heard the announcer say "Surya Bonaly", I was so excited, I immediatly jumped to my feet and screamed. When you did your amazing back flip in the middle of the routine it took my breath away. You are truly the greatest skater of all time! I regret to say that I didn't see any of your amatuer career until the 1998 Winter Olympics, but I have made sure not to miss you on t.v. or in person ever since. I have a question for you though... I have been dying to see your very last performance at the World Championships. I only saw it once, and it just sticks out in my mind every time I see you. I was wondering if you would possibly be able to send it to me? My address is:
<snip>
Or if you can't do that I would just love it if you would just send me an email at: BBFRO2003@webtv.net
I would greatly appreciate it. You may remember me. Your very first professional win took place right here in WV if I'm not mistaken. I waited for you for 45 minutes after the competition was over and finally you came from your interview with Tonya Harding and I had a sign that said "Surya Bonaly give me a HUG" and you signed the picture and gave me a hug right there! That really showed me that you really appreciate your fans! Well, I guess I'll let you go now. Hope to get an email from you soon or something.
Your #1 Fan

Good evening young lady. First of all congratulations on today's victory. I was impressed. I don't watch ice skating but when I saw you skating, you had my undivided attention. Your great in what you do. Plus you're beautiful. I'm a staff seargant in the u.s. Army currently in transition to fort benning ga but staying in fort bragg with a friend. What I'm getting at is I like to see use as black Americans be on top of our game. I'm also proud of all your accomplishments. Continue on the long and hard path.

surya is the best skater to ever live

I love the way you skate Surya, I always make it a point to follow your carrer and have seen you in Japan.  I loved it when you turned your back from the judges, and showed them that you are a star. Keep up the good work.

Hi Surya:
I'm a Black woman who has followed your skating since the 1992 Olympics.  I always loved your skating, but now even more so.  You have gotten even better as a pro.  I can't believe how, the longer you skate, the better you have become.  Plus, you are such a beautiful black woman, who seems to be so proud of your exquisite beauty!

Surya,
I love to watch you skate!
You are the best and the most beautiful.

Salut Surya,
Je m'appelle Céline, je suis admiratrice de Patinage artistique depuis 1991 avec votre arrivée sur la piste et celle des DUCHESNAY, et de Candel 
Grâce un gala à Marseille avec Philippe CANDELORO, j'ai l'occassion de te saluer
Dommage que l'on te voie pas souvent à la télévision.
Céline de MARSEILLE

Dear Surya, You are absolutely fantastic. Too bad the judges are never fair when it comes to scoring. What other woman skater can do a backwards flip and land on one foot? Peace and love my sister, we are all in this together. P. Hairston, Wash, DC

Dear Surya, you are indeed one of the best skaters of all time. Too bad the judges are never able to see this. Keep hope alive and continue to strive. Peace and love my sister, we are all in this together. P. Hairston Washington, DC

Surya,
My entire family enjoys watching you skate.  My daughter is 7 years old and is currently learning to ice skate.  We are African-American and our daughter truly enjoys watching an African like herself compete at the highest level of ice skating.  There are so few of us present in the ice skating world.  Good Luck!!

Dear Surya,
I have been following ice skating since I was a child, and I think you are one of the
the best and most creative skaters I have ever seen. I admire the fact that you are a
"rebel" in your sport, with your own unique style and attitude. You also have a very
individual taste in music. I was wondering whether you considered using Carmina Burana
or Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring? I think these might complement your skating style
perfectly!
Keep up the good work!
Mariya, NYC

Surya,
I saw you skating a program other day, and you used a Brazilian song. It made me really proud because I'm Brazilian and I finally saw a great skater like you, give the right value to the music of my country. You danced the "Axé" really well, not bad for a french girl! ;-)
Good luck with your skating!

I am writing from Boise, Idaho in the USA.  I am SO proud, not only are you a wonderful skater, but I am so happy to read that you are also adopted.  My husband and I are starting the adoption process, and all we have gotten from people is negativity and fatalistic attitudes about the insurmountable "adoption issues".  You boost our belief that adoption is filled with triumph and joy.  Thank you!  By the way I love your flips.  And, I think you have been to our little city of Boise. 

Hi, Surya,
My name is Kwamin, and I saw you for the first time last night, September 30, 
2000, in Guelph.  It was the first time I had ever been to a skating show of any kind, and you made my night!  I think you're an awesome skater, and it makes me so proud to know that Blacks are being so wonderfully represented in the sport.  Oh, by the way, I was sitting in the section to whom you did a back flip at the end of your second number.  Was that for me by any chance...?  Good luck in your career, and I am now a FAN FOR LIFE!  Thanx for the awesome show, and I'll be following your career closely.  You're the best!
Kwamin

I love to watch you skate I feel that
you have all the qualities beauty,style,power
and grace.  I am glad that you live stateside

Comment ca va Sorya?
We met at Ice Castles at Christmas and you were kind enough to take a picture with my grandson and his friend(they were the "black" skaters
Keep up the good work I look forward to seeing you on TV soon.
We will be in Las Vegas for the Las Vegas Open in August.
Will you be in town then or in Sun Valley

Hi, Surya -
I'm glad to see you finally have an official site. You're my favorite skater and I never miss you when you're on TV. You've just gotten better and better over the years, especially since you went pro. I was also impressed with your recovery from your Achille's tendon injury; nothing can stop you. I should also mention that you're one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Good luck in the future and keep up the good work. Thanks for all the great shows.
