If you've been waiting patiently for proof that Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are actual humans and not just robots programmed to be great at everything, then merry Christmas to you.

On Friday, the model and mother of two took to Instagram to show off her ice skating skills—or, more accurately, lack thereof. In the predictably hilarious clip (this is a Chrissy Teigen social media post, after all), Chrissy starts with a dramatic pose before doing a series of wild spin moves, and ultimately falls on the ice.

John doesn't do a lot of real figure skating in the clip, but he does go to check on his wife after her hilarious fall, so there's that.

Check it out for yourself, in all its hilarious, fail-y glory, below:

"We got a 1.2," Chrissy captioned the video, gracefully and self-deprecatingly acknowledging her not-quite-Olympic-worthy performance.
