One of the youngest athletes competing in the 2022 Winter Games completed a jump never-before landed by a woman in the Olympics.

Kamila Valieva, a 15-year-old of the Russian Olympic Committee, became the first woman to land a quad during the women's free skate. A few moments later she became the first to do it twice.

She completedĀ a quad salchow and a quad toe, which also included a triple toe combination.Ā KSheĀ fell when she attempted a third quadruple jump, her first time falling on a quad in competition all season. Despite the fall, her impressive run earned a score of 178.92, which helped lift the ROC to a gold medalĀ in the team event.Ā The U.S. came in second, earning silver.

During the women's short program, Valieva became just the 4th woman to ever land a triple axel at the Winter Olympics.
