She made history!
This was amazing to watch! USA figure skater, Mirai Nagasu became the first woman from the U.S. to land a triple axel at the Olympics. This happened Sunday night at the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Nagasu is only the third American female skater to ever land the move, which involves a forward takeoff and three-and-a-half mid-air rotations, in competition. Besides Nagasu, Tonya Harding famously landed the axel at the national championship in 1991, followed by Kimmie Meissner in 2005.
Amazing! You can see her excitement after her routine was over.
