WAH, It was amazing that the plane could come to a complete stop in about 100m. Personally I think it is impossible. 
Imagine to stop A320 from landing speed of about 125knot (that is about 235km/h) to a complete stop in 100m. Impossible rite!!!
In this case I think the plane must have touched down at a place way ahead of the desinated touch down marker.
A typical A320 landing distance is about 1500m. I don't think it can be done at 100m unless it dip into the soft soil right after touch down and slowed down rapidly by it. For a plane having such a huge inertia to be slowed down to halt in 100m is insane. It's like hitting a brick wall.
