Brooklyn Anderson's incredible finish shook social media: "She chose the wrong sport," comments say.
Incredible moments at the athletics championship held in Oregon left the sports world in awe. Brooklyn Anderson from Thurston High School, despite falling at the last hurdle in the 100-meter hurdles, performed a somersault and clinched first place.
Anderson was competing in lane 4 of the Track Town USA Girls 5A 100-meter hurdles final. She had a significant lead over her competitors as she cleared the first nine hurdles.
However, disaster struck at the tenth and final hurdle. Just as her competitors had not yet reached the ninth hurdle, Anderson made her final leap. But she hit the hurdle, lost her balance, and fell onto the track.
At that moment, it seemed that Anderson's dreams of victory had been dashed.
But at that moment, Anderson's brilliant mind kicked in. The young athlete, assessing her fall in an instant, executed a perfect forward roll within her lane.
However, when the roll ended, she was still a few meters away from the finish line. This time, she performed another roll to cross the finish line - just as her competitor in the adjacent lane was closing the gap.
Incredibly, Anderson won first place with a fast time of 14.93 seconds.
Speaking after her victory, Anderson said: "I wasn't sure how far behind everyone was. I just knew I had to keep rolling because I wanted to be first."
Fans flooded social media with comments about Anderson's amazing performance.
One fan jokingly wrote: "Brooklyn Anderson was so far ahead that she could fall, do two somersaults, stop for a smoothie, update her LinkedIn, and still cross the finish line before the others realized the race had started. That's disrespectfully fast!"
Another user commented, "Champion mindset," while a third remarked, "Double somersault finish - this runner chose the wrong sport; she should have been doing gymnastics."
Later, one user explained that Anderson was actually a former gymnast - which explained her acrobatic prowess.
"A well-deserved victory," they wrote. "Former gymnast Brooklyn Anderson lost her strong lead when she hit her knee on the last hurdle. Thanks to her quick thinking, she decided to roll over the finish line and barely won against her competitors."
This incident has gone down in history as one of the unforgettable moments showcasing the unpredictability of sports and the creativity of athletes in critical moments.
