13-Year-Old Lola Walters Impresses On Gymnastics Floor

The young girl Lola Walters impressed audiences at the American Gymnastics Academy Long Beach Open earlier this year. Even though she's legally blind.
13-year-old usually has no idea what's coming until she's literally five feet away from it.
Walters, a Washington resident, is legally blind, and suffers from a disease called nystagmus which causes her eyes to shift constantly, leaving her with double vision and no depth perception, the Daily Mail reports.
"Most people I compete with don't know I am any different to them," Walters told the news source. "And as far as I'm concerned it can stay that way. If they don't know, they don't need to score me differently."
