That was Kerri Strug. A gymnast performing ahead of her on the vault missed her landing--twice. When Kerri landed her first vault, she came down on her ankle hard, and was slightly limping. She had a 2nd vault to perform; she ran, vaulted, and landed perfectly despite the injury. However, once her landing counted, she dropped to her knees and began to crawl back. Coaches assisted her the rest of the way. Here is a video description, in her own words, of the vaults and her injury.
