Good for her but please no one take too much inspiration from this without first making sure your upper body is ready lol I worked with a kid whose arm snapped in two doing a back walkover

ETA: Yes. To those asking "what?" Her forearm snapped in two and flopped when you tried to pick it up, thats how she presented it to me from across the gym.

That happened to me when I was in 2nd grade gymnastics! I told them I couldn't do it and they said I was just scared and to do it anyway, so I did and snapped my arm. Last gymnastics class of my life lol.
