I watched it last night, and the women's competition was fantastic. They all stepped it way the fuck up. Her run was phenomenal.

Charlotte Worthington becomes the first and only female to land a 360 backflip in competition and brings home BMX freestyle gold for Great Britain. #NBCOlympics #Tokyo2020 #Cycling
