Jordan Chiles Turns Mistake Into Magic: The Best Twitter Reactions
One of the most memorable moments of the 2017 P&G Championships was when Jordan Chiles went for a wolf turn at the beginning of her beam routine and ended up basically inventing a new turn combination.

She did a full wolf turn and then began to stand up and kept spinning . . . and spinning and spinning. She actually completed a triple turn once she stood up from the wolf turn, which is named after gymnastics great, Betty Okino.

The internet had some hilarious things to say about it.
That time Jordan Chiles invented the Wolf-kino.

Chiles finished up with a solid routine after the amazing save, which helped her clinch the silver medal in the all-around as a first-year senior.
Here's Jordan reflecting on the moment after the meet:
Because that's just what gymnasts do: they turn mistakes in magic.
