THE PERFORMANCE OF THE GYMNASTE

KATELYN OHASHI

INFLAMES THE NETWORKS

In ninety seconds Kately Ohashi stunned the crowd, the coaches, her team-mates, the judges ... and finally the networks.

The judges did not hesitate one second: 10/10, absolutely perfect performance.

"It's going to be hard to do better," said LA Times coach Valorie Kondos Field, the UCLA team coach. The university account has tweeted:

"A 10 is not enough for Katelyn Ohashi's floor exercise. "

With a background of pop music, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson and Earth Wind & Fire, the 21-year-old prodigy defies gravity on the floor, with a smile to her ears and energetic moves.

Katelyn Ohashi dances, twirls, flies away, falls back into the gap, bounces with joy.

Katelyn Ohashi, a native of Seattle, is not a newcomer.

She spent four years on the national junior team and in 2013, at the age of 16, she had participated in the American Cup, which brings together the best gymnasts in the world. She defeated Simone Biles, a four-time Olympic champion in Rio, in 2016.

Yet she comes back from a distance. If at age 16 she was already a sensation by postponing many awards and was destined for an Olympic career, a series of shoulder injuries will be the reason for her career. For a time, at least.

She had made the decision to give up her Olympic dreams, "It's thanks to my coach and UCLA that I've found the joy of doing gymnastics and being just me.

Before, I suffered many criticisms and pressures on my weight.

So much so that I no longer had the taste for sport, "she said last August.

Now she's back on her feet with talent to impress more than one. "Doing gymnastics is what I prefer. What you see is what I feel, "says Katelyn Ohashi.

The girl revolutionized gymnastics!
