Gymnast saves herself from falling off the beam in the most impressive way possible

For us average folk, pretty much anything a gymnast does is impressive, but this girl really has us bowing down.

Jordan Chiles is a 16-year-old gymnast from Washington, who is competing in the senior ranks at the national championships. It's her first time ever competing, but you wouldn't be able to guess that from the super-human way she saved herself from a potential fall.

Chiles was on the beam, executing a wolf turn (not sure exactly what that is either), when she got off-balance and almost fell. Instead of taking a tumble and losing a lot of points, she corrected her balance and somehow performed a triple spin and gracefully landed on the beam.

It's incredible to watch.

Here's the complete routine filmed from another angle:

What kind of sorcery is this??

Luckily, her botched turn did not do major damage to her score. Chiles earned a 14.2, her best score on the beam, which put her in second place for the competition.

Not too shabby.

In an interview after the competition, Chiles explained that she didn't fully realize what she was doing, she just didn't want to fall. "I was kind of crooked at the beginning and so normally I'd just stand up. But I didn't want to fall and so I just tucked in my knee. After awhile I didn't realize I was still turning."

The adrenaline must have been very high.

We'll definitely keep an eye out for Chiles in the next summer Olympic games.
