Competing in the final of the women’s floor routine, the footage shows Vanessa Ferrari perform a front flip without moving her head.
Vanessa Ferrari's stunning flip during the Rio Games
Leaning backwards with her face pointing towards the floor, the Italian shows off her insane flexibility by flipping both legs around her body, while somehow maintaining her initial head position.
Ferrari’s legs almost complete a full 360-degree rotation before her head finally lifts back up to complete the stunning move.
Despite her undoubted talent, Ferrari still couldn’t manage to claim a medal in the event which was won by the incomparable American, Simone Biles.
