- At this year's Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, we may see quad corks in Big Air Snowboarding or in Freestyle Skiing -- and we'll see quad twists and quad jumps in Figure Skating.

Dump all that science in the trash can! People can train their bodies to do seemingly impossible things. It's all about time and practice and some tricks.
