History's first ever perfect triple-double dismount from the uneven bars. What a feat!
 
And then she did it again with the dismount from the balance beam, a double/ double..
First time in history..
The reason the triple double dismount from the uneven bars was said to be impossible is because it's not possible to get high enough,,
height gives the time to do this.
They slowed it down in replay and they said she got higher than the mike boom..
She was so high that in the replay you could see everyone in the front rows craning their neck to look up at her..

Good for her..
A great big congrats for her..

She is up there in the phenom range at this point. Prime Phelps, Ledecky, Serena, Federer, Tiger, Bolt, MJ...territory.

There are few you watch, and you just KNOW that they aren't just going to win, they are going to dominate. I know it takes unimaginable work (and natural talent) to reach that point, but man it looks fun to be that good at something. I`m thankful people with that level of ability find their niche, and we all get to marvel at the product of their dedication.
