A 15-year-old Russian figure skater has made history in her sport by becoming the first women ever to land a quadruple jump in an Olympic competition.
Kamila Valieva only made her international debut six months ago, but has been smashing records everywhere she has been.
And that now includes the Olympic Games in Beijing, where she was part of the Russian Olympic Committee group which saw off competition from the USA and Japan to take gold in the team event.
The Russians had already sealed top spot, but that didn't stop Valieva from producing a never-before-seen move twice in her run to underline her team's dominance.
She attempted the quadruple salchow move on three occasions, nailing the first two before falling as she tried to make it a hat-trick.
It was expected that the teenager would try the move during the Games, having landed it on several occasions in other events in the build-up.
In the same routine she also landed a triple axel, becoming only the fourth woman in Olympic history to pull off that particular achievement.
After her history-making free skate, Valieva said: "When I was three years old, I made a wish to become an Olympic champion. My childhood dream has come true."
Her score of 178.92 on Monday was more than 30 points higher than the next best contestant, Kaori Sakamato of Japan, showing she was a cut above the rest throughout the competition.
That came after she came within 0.27 points of breaking her own world record in a separate performance on Sunday.
Valieva's performance in the team skate has made her a firm favourite to take another gold when she competes in the individual event.
She insists, though, that she needs to work on some areas of her routine – even if she did admit that she was proud of following in the footsteps of her skating idols.
"The first Olympics I watched were the Sochi Games," the Russian added. "I remember that I especially liked Yulia Lipnitskaya's free skate.
"Then the Olympics were in Korea (PyeongChang), where I cheered for Evgenia (Medvedeva) and Alina (Zagitova).
"And now it's my turn to experience such emotions."
