Wheelbarrowing after a much too fast, forced touchdown, contributing to the aircraft veering left? There‘s no flare visible and it almost appears that it was three-pointed.

I never considered myself an ace pilot (I never came off the runway or bent anything though). However, I did accumulate around 200 hrs on C172, and I always found it tricky to land well when lightly loaded and following the instructions of some instructors who would have you fly finals at 70-75 kts with full flaps. I later on flew one from a narrow 400 m with no problems; 65 kts on finals reducing to 60 over the hedge was perfectly safe and worked every time
