British snowboarder Katie Ormerod is a talented young athlete who recently did something monumental. At only 16-years-old, she became the first female snowboarder to land an immensely difficult trick: the double cork 1080. This short from Red Bull captures Ormerod's completed trick in glorious slow motion.
After watching this, it's obvious there are many impressive things about Ormerod -- but perhaps the most impressive is her humility. Before landing the double cork 1080, we see Ormerod attempt it and fail. She then promptly gets up -- smile on her face -- and then nails it.

Huge props to you, Katie.
