For those who haven't been watching the Olympics (and if you haven't, why aren't you?), this girl is phenomenal. And she's only 15. Her name is Yulia Lipnitskaya, and she's already being called a prodigy.
One of her competitors, American Gracie Gold, said, "She has no spine, but she has iron in her bones." An odd, but heartfelt, compliment for someone who's sure to be a star in her sport for some time to come.
And super-young Olympians are surprisingly common. See Tara Lipinski freaking out when she upset Michelle Kwan for the gold in Nagano in 1998:
