An incredible ice skating routine by star Yulia Lipnitskaya is going viral this week, and it’s sure to completely blow you away.

Yulia won the title of World Junior Champion in 2012, and she brought home a gold medal in her spot at the 2014 Winter Olympics. One of her biggest skills is her ability to captivate a large audience when she skates. In fact, one of the announcers at her Olympic Games said that she is one of the best spinners in the entire competition.

“She’s just able to go out and command the ice,” one announcer said. “Such a small person has such size on the ice.”

“The sign of a great program is when it flashes by in just a moment. And she was so compelling, right from the beginning,” another announcer added. “Each and every move, woven together, beautifully, flowing with the music. Whether it was jumping or spinning, one thing led to the other, and just took us on this journey.”

In the video below, you’ll see Yulia perform at the Olympic Games when she is just 15 years-old. The amount of grace she brings to the ice has to be seen to be believed, and it should come as no surprise that this video has gone viral in the years since, being viewed nearly two million times.

“I have watched this performance a hundred times and I still get goosebumps,” one social media user commented, with another adding, “It’s absolutely beautiful and fantastic! When a performance is first class it’s clear.”
