USA Today reports that Brooklyn Anderson, a high school student student at a state-wide track and field competition in Oregon, stumbled at the end of a 100-meter hurdles race.
Even though she was in the lead, that fall probably would have ended her competitiveness in the race. But Anderson, relying on her background in gymnastics, turned the fall into a double somersault. Watch this video of her making the impossibly smooth rolls across the finish line.
Anderson was able to cross the finish line a split second before any of the other runners were, thus securing a first place finish and a time of 14.93 seconds.
