Narrative:

I was on final approach to runway 5L at crystal airport. I was ok on the GS and came in right across the numbers. The airspeed was a bit fast and I bounced on landing. The aircraft bounced up and came back down and started to bounce once again. The stall horn came on and the aircraft landed nose down on the runway before I was able to add power and get the aircraft back in the air. The propeller was bent and the nose gear collapsed. No damage to fuselage except for scratches on underside. Plane did not skid very far.
