When the "Committee" deems that a move is too technical to be done by anyone else, just because one person, and it's usually a person NOT found within the favour of that committee, to be the only one capable/brave enough to do and land successfully.
If Nancy Kerrigan had landed this shyt after Harding separated her knee cap with a Hertz Rental tyre iron, I guarantee you she'd be bigger than Pele in the figure skating world, being H'wite and all.
I don't have a knack for American History, but I'm sure this was around the cold war and such and the world would be damned if they'd let the Ruskies win anything they couldn't stifle on a technicality.
