Katelyn Ohashi, a 21-year-old UCLA student and gymnast, recently became an internet sensation for her flawless floor routine. It’s being called “epic” and “electrifying” and you’re about to see why.
In this clip, Katelyn dazzles the crowd at the Collegiate Challenge with a high-impact, energetic and fun routine set to a montage of classic songs from The Jackson 5, Tina Turner and more.
The crowd went crazy, her teammates cheered her on, and now the internet is falling in love with her incredible talent.
Katelyn ended up earning a perfect 10 from the judges.
“Katelyn used to compete at the elite level, but it took a physical and emotional toll on her,” reports Inside Edition. “After numerous injuries, including tearing both shoulders and fracturing her back, she said she fell out of love with the sport and opted to go to UCLA and begin her collegiate career.”
When she finally felt physically and mentally prepared to return to her sport, Katelyn decided to join the gymnastics team at UCLA. The routine you’re about to see marked the sixth time in her collegiate career that she’s earned a perfect score and the fourth time she’s earned a perfect score with a floor routine.
“I know nothing about this sport but I know she was having a blast,” one commenter wrote.
“My absolute favorite thing about this is how hard her teammates are cheering for her,” another said. “Girls supporting girls. I love it.”
