Pull power to idle, do a very aggressive forward slip while holding altitude, as soon as you hit Vfe (actually about 5kts slower because your actual airspeed is faster than you indicated airspeed), dump full flaps, and let it slow to normal landing speed. Get out of the slip and do a normal landing. You can get a C172 from 120 to 65 in less than a mile
