Kerri Strug's Heartbreaking Olympic Gold Triumph and Retirement 😢

At the 1996 Olympics, Kerri Strug hurt her ankle on her first vault, tearing ligaments that left her barely able to walk. But with gold on the line, she was told her team needed one more score to beat Russia. Through the pain, she ran down the runway, jumped, and somehow landed perfectly on one foot before collapsing in tears. The crowd roared as she was carried off the floor in pain. Later, they found out her vault wasn’t even needed — but that moment made history. It showed the world what true courage looks like, even when it costs everything.
