Kid Gymnast w/ Prosthetic Leg Surprised By Idol 🤸 II Steve Harvey

[@dianajones4639]

Avery was frozen in her tracks at her idol, but I’m willing to bet she went home and hasn’t shut up about this since it happened! ❤😂

[@this.is.a.username]

listen I worship the ground Sir pTerry Pratchett (rip) walked on, but if I ever turned around and he was just right there, I'd be just like poor Averie. I hope they were able to spend time after the interview in private so that Averie could get some time to really enjoy meeting Laurie.

[@donaldwert7137]

"You can't break this leg. Well, you can, but it won't hurt as bad." That's making lemonade, for sure.

[@LilMzMandy]

I'd say she passed lemonade and went straight to lemon lollipops. Absolutely amazing

[@joec1248]

Can break that leg and her real 1 at the same time. As a amputee I have done both when I was a kid

[@janiececaston6354]

I love that

[@itravisoni]

She was so young that was the plus

[@chrissyjoy08]

I laughed and teared up at that at the same time.

[@AudreyC379]

She's SO smart and mature for her age. Certainly was raised right. 👏🙂

[@oregonwanderer]

Agreed! You can tell that her folks did not have pity on her and raised her to be no different than anyone with two whole legs. Thats the way to do it. If a child is raised being told they are disabled they will always feel limited. if they are raised to think they are no different than anyone else, the sky is the limit.

[@ronjohnson2276]

I don't do any types of sports. I am a 64 year old, and out of shape ol man. I find this angle a great inspiration. You can see it in her eyes. God Bless, and may she make it to the Olympics, and succeed.

[@elizabeth10392]

This absolutely beautiful child deserves gold in the Olympics. She has turned a disability into an ability and she has humility and grace as well. I wish her every success for her future. ❤xx with love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@brandocalrissian3294]

Well whoever performs the best deserves the gold, but she definitely is a champion for soldiering through losing a leg and kicking ass.

[@NannetteMartin-k7s]

This is fantastic. She is a beautiful person 🎉.

[@cathynewyork7918]

Averie does NOT deserve the gold in the Olympics merely because she can compete with an artificial leg. The gold goes t the best gymnast in the competition, NOT the one with the best story.

[@elizabeth10392]

@@cathynewyork7918 Yes, I'm well aware of all that. I was commenting on her courage, not suggesting that judges give her a gold medal to her unfairly.

[@mickdavies9]

I would love to live long enough to see that young lady compete in the Olympic Games. WORD LIFE!!!

[@mowgli201]

That girl is wise beyond her years.

[@ikevalentine4085]

She is an inspiration to the young generation

[@kerid195]

She is inspiring.. She has already got the biggest medal of all.. Would wide gold medal for showing us never to give up..❤

[@raymondwolken7975]

Well said I love her spirit and humility for a full life.❤😊

[@delseckora5327]

This world and country needs more stories like this rather than what the media wants to push. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH STEVE HARVEY.

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

Hello, you may already know of this story about a young lady from 2017-2018. She is a flautist in her High School Band. In her senior year she became the section leader of flutes. Her name is Hitomi Kanamaru or Kanemaru. There are hundreds of videos of her band on the KZbin and her story is on the www too. She attended Kyoto Tachibana (a wild Mandarin type of orange tree) Senior High School Brass Band Club during the years of 2015-2018. Here are the titles of three videos that she is prominent in. Just copy & paste to the address bar, KZbin videos: 1) Tournament of Roses BandCares Performance by the Kyoto Tachibana High School Green Band (1) 2) 【ローズパレード現地応援に関するお願い】KYOTO TACHIBANA HS VIDEO CONTEST ORIGINAL MOVIE 3) 2018 Pasadena Bandfest　Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band 京都橘高校吹奏楽部 4) Desfile de Las Rosas Entrevista a Kyoto Tashibana High School de Japon 5) 長岡京ガラシャ祭パレード2016＜FULL＞ 京都橘高校吹奏楽部　Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band（Nov 13, 2016） " Hey!

[@nicolaablett7790]

She is so overwhelmed Bless her

[@viperdemonz-jenkins]

she was a baby when she lost her leg, and kids adapt far better than adults. also was sweet of you to have her on and also her idol.

[@johnanderson9765]

At the age of two, she wasn't really a baby, but chances are she doesn't even remember what it's like to walk with two real legs.

[@krissmgvlogs]

She is very brave, first meeting her hero then performing in front of her her, so much pressure but she nailed it! Wonderful! 😃

[@Tanvaras]

Amazing young lady. May she see the Olympics sooner than later and shine like a champion she is.

[@scruffygaming627]

Shaking like a leaf in a storm, and still she nails a balance routine I couldn't do if my life depended on it. What a legend!

[@CJSmallz41]

Way to go girl!!! From my home state of Oklahoma!!! So proud of how she's turned her disability into an amazing skill with gymnastics!!!

[@bonusbaby801]

She'll be in the Olympics one day. And it'll be COOL!!!

[@Absaalookemensch]

She would dominate in special Olympics, but she doesn't consider herself disabled, so competes against to non-disabled athletes.

[@biggtrux]

As someone who is't particularly a fan of gymnastics, but seeing someone doing what's difficult WITHOUT a handicap is just amazing.

[@howlandent]

What a beautiful, talented and sweet young lady!! I wish her the very best in her pursuit of that gold medal!! I am sure Lauren Hernandez has a new best friend, I hope they stay in contact with each other and they continue to inspire each other and so many others!

[@lionheartroar3104]

I love Steve's positive messages. So many resonate with me. Thank you Mr. Harvey.

[@davidatkinson8515]

Keep going strong Averie. You're definitely an inspiration. You have millions of people so proud of you.

the mom and dad must be the proudest parents in the world knowing there daughter not letting the loss of her leg not stopping her from doing what she loves Averie i will say this honey i am 44 no kids yet BUT if i ever have a daughter i hope she be just like you putting her dreams first and doing what she would love to do because not only you are doing what your dream is but you are showing other children all around the world younger and older that you that because you have a disability should not let it stop you from doing your dream you have full support from Australia honey and hope one day we see you at the Olympics go get that gold medal honey you deserve it

[@davidday8417]

Life threw her a curve but she didn’t strike out she knocked it clean out of the park !! Young lady your beyond special you are simply amazing and I have a feeling nothing is going to slow you down or stop you from reaching your goals in life !!

[@pop9095]

This little baby girl is my hero. How Good is she?!? This incredible human being came out on that stage hiding her medal, as humble as a day is long. First time she stops covering them with her hands is to hug her idol. Massive, Enormous, Gigantic young lady.

[@MrMagyar5]

She is. I told my boys.. who complain about not being able to do something.. about Averie. I told them I don't want to hear their excuses. If this young woman can be an amazing gymnast, you boys can accomplish everything you set your mind to!
