This weekend, American skater Mirai Nagasu made Olympic history when she became the third woman ever to land a triple axel in an Olympic competition. To understand how hard this is, Holly Yan of CNN explains, that though "the axel jump was first invented in 1882... it took more than 90 years for the first man to land a triple Axel. And it wasn't until 1991 that the first American woman landed a triple Axel."
So basically, Nagasu did the impossible.
In celebration of Nagasu's stunning and rare feat, here are seven of the rarest Olympic feats ever.
1. Montreal 1976 - Nadia Comaneci scores a perfect 10
Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci was just 14 years old when she did something no one else had ever done before. She scored perfect 10 performances on the uneven bars and balance beams.
Then she did it again, and again – six more times as she won three gold medals. She later became the first person to be awarded the Olympic Order twice, which was the highest order bestowed by the International Olympic Committee.
Nadia Comaneci - icon.
2. Beijing 2008 - Usain Bolt slows down
Has there ever been a more aptly named Olympian than Usain St Leo Bolt? The Jamaican sprinter smashed world records when he dashed to victory in the 100 meters at 9.6 seconds.
Bolt could have actually had an even lower record, had he kept running, but it doesn't matter because he had already literally bolted past the competition, a feat he would repeat at the 2012 competition.
3. Berlin 1936 - American diver Marjorie Gestring becomes the youngest gold medalist ever
In the summer of 1936, American diver Marjorie Gestring was just 13 years and 268 days old when she blasted past her competition to secure the gold in the 3-meter springboard diving event.4. Berlin 1936 - Inge Sørensen becomes the youngest Olympic medalist ever
At the very same Olympic Games as Marjorie Gestring was Danish swimmer Inge Sørensen, who became the youngest Olympian ever to win a medal when she scored the bronze in the 200 m breaststroke at the age of 12 years and 24 days.5. Rome 1960 - Abebe Bikila runs barefoot... and wins
When you've got it, you've got it. At least, that was the case of Ethiopian runner Abebe Bikila, who ran barefoot in the 1960 marathon, and won against all the other hordes of well-heeled competitors.6. Beijing 2008 - Micheal Phelps out-swims literally everybody ever
In the summer of 2008, all eyes were on one Olympian – the lanky swimmer Michael Phelps, who floored the Olympic community when he took a record-breaking eight gold medals in one game.
Phelps would then go on to become the most decorated Olympian of all time, with a record 28 medals, of which 23 were gold.
7. Mexico City 1968 - Bob Beamon jumps so high the other jumpers give up
American long jumper Bob Beamon broke the records when he jumped a record 29 feet, 2.5 inches at the 1968 Mexico City Games. For comparison, this was nearly two feet higher than the previous world record.
Beamon himself was so astounded when he was told how high he'd jumped, he collapsed on the track, having had a cataplectic seizure.
No one has ever been able to repeat his feat to date. It's the oldest Olympic record that has yet to be broken.
