The cheers at the 2010 FIFA U20 Women's World Cup are almost as loud when the Brazil U20 national team win a throw-in as when they score a goal, and the reason can be summed up in one word: Leah!
Leah does a front flip with the ball in her hands, lands on her feet and whips the ball 30 yards or more. The Brazilian throw-in wonder was born in Sao Paulo, before moving with her family to Chicago (USA) when she was 2.
Skills learned as a young gymnast have helped her to execute the special style throw-in.
