One of the youngest Olympians competing in the 2022 Winter Games stole the show at the figure skating team event on Saturday night.

During the women's short program, 15-year-old Kamila Valieva of the Russian Olympic Committee became just the fourth woman to ever land a triple axel at the Winter Olympics.

American Mirai Nagasu was the most recent woman to complete the jump at an Olympics, doing so at the 2018 PyeongChang Games.

Valieva earned a score of 90.18, just barely shy of the 90.45 short program world record she owns, and crushed the rest of the competition. The second-place finisher, Japan's Wakaba Higuchi, trailed Valieva by more than 15 points.
