What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot stated that he had been performing "touch and goes" at the airport. Upon the final landing, pilot had flaps extended and pulled the engine throttle back to idle in an attempt for a slower shorter landing. When he did, the aircraft slowed abruptly, and the nose wheel dropped rapidly, striking the runway surface. The main gear came down to the surface and drove the nose back up. Once the nose returned to the surface, the nose gear collapsed causing a prop-strike and damage to the lower engine cowling, belly skin aft of the engine bay, and left-wing tip leading edge. Aircraft came to a stop on the paved runway, turned left approximately 60 degrees and about 20 feet from the centerline.
As the FAA filed it
PILOT STATED THAT HE HAD BEEN PERFORMING "TOUCH AND GOES" AT THE AIRPORT. UPON THE FINAL LANDING, PILOT HAD FLAPS EXTENDED AND PULLED THE ENGINE THROTTLE BACK TO IDLE IN AN ATTEMPT FOR A SLOWER SHORTER LANDING. WHEN HE DID, THE AIRCRAFT SLOWED ABRUPTLY, AND THE NOSE WHEEL DROPPED RAPIDLY, STRIKING THE RUNWAY SURFACE. THE MAIN GEAR CAME DOWN TO THE SURFACE AND DROVE THE NOSE BACK UP. ONCE THE NOSE RETURNED TO THE SURFACE, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED CAUSING A PROP-STRIKE AND DAMAGE TO THE LOWER ENGINE COWLING, BELLY SKIN AFT OF THE ENGINE BAY, AND LEFT-WING TIP LEADING EDGE. AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP ON THE PAVED RUNWAY, TURNED LEFT APPROXIMATELY 60 DEGREES AND ABOUT 20 FEET FROM THE CENTERLINE.
