These incredible ice skating moves are banned at the Winter Olympics

I have distinct memories of watching someone’s
ice dancing performance a few decades ago where her comedic routine was to pretend like she was a completely out-of-control beginner klutz. (Seems like it must have been during the Olympics because that’s really the only time I see ice dancing, but I could be mistaken) It was an impressive routine where she constantly seemed to be on the verge of a bad fall. At one point her leg (intentionally) swung up over the edge of the rink and her skate unfortunately struck a spectator who was leaning too far forward in the face. She finished the routine in tears, and I felt awful for her and the person who was injured. I have to imagine that might have led to a banned move. Is anyone else familiar with the performance I’m talking about?
