Soccer star Carson Pickett became the first person with a limb difference to play on the U.S. Women's National Team (USWNT). Pickett, who was born without her left forearm and hand, helped the team win against Colombia on Tuesday.
The team and Pickett both posted about the historic moment on Instagram. "Kick It Like Pickett," they wrote.
Pickett has posted on social media about her limb difference in the past. In April, which is Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month, she said while she is "confident and comfortable" showing her arm, she knows "there are so many people in the world who aren't."
