Fabiola makes skating history today


Fabiola Da Silva - this inline skating hero from Brazil really shook up her corner of the sports world Sunday on the LG Action Sports Championships when she successfully executed and landed a double backflip. This makes her one of the few athletes who have mastered this move, and the first female to even attempt it in competition. What a rush to witness this moment in history. She was in the zone, and what awesome shoulders.

From her profile on ASA Sport:
Brazil, which is one of the smaller skate markets in the world, boasts fifteen professional skaters including seven women. That accounts for almost a third of all of the women competing worldwide.
