It’s not every day you get to meet a log roller. So imagine having the chance to meet a 3-time Log Rolling World Champion. That’s what TV host Steve Harvey did when 9-year-old Libby Magnone graced the stage of Little Big Shots. In order to demonstrate her serious skills, Libby’s older brother Dominick came to log with her. You need two people to logroll — one person stands on either side of a 12-foot log. Whoever falls in the water first, loses.

Libby and Dominick often train together as seen in the YouTube video below. You can hear their mother repeatedly telling Libby, “Don’t stop moving your feet!” Libby told her local newspaper that during the summer, she practices at least one hour every day — and it shows! She’s also hoping that logrolling will become an Olympic sport some day. She’s not alone as major log rolling players like Key Log Rolling and the Federation of International Log Rolling are pushing to get the sport into the Olympics too. New episodes of Little Big Shots air Thursdays at 8pm on NBC.
