Last April, UCLA won its seventh NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championship, but not before a floor routine from one of its student-athletes went viral. The theme was Michael Jackson. The gymnast's name? Katelyn Ohashi. (And yes, she even did the moonwalk.)
In the Bruins' Jan. 12 meet against California, UC Davis, and Michigan State, Katelyn took the internet by storm with a new routine that earned her a perfect 10. This year, the senior dances to a mashup of classics like "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire and Tina Turner's "Proud Mary." Not to mention, she does the moonwalk yet again.
If you loved her dynamic routines, we're bringing you more electric performances on floor from college gymnasts across the country. These women remind us that competition, especially in a sport as intense and dangerous as gymnastics, can actually be fun.
Packed with skill, good music, and lots of fearless attitude, these are a must see.

At the Pac-12 Championships on March 23, Katelyn debuted an altered routine with added choreography and a line-up of all-female artists like Beyoncé. She received her sixth perfect 10 of the season on floor and tied for first place with teammate Kyla Ross and Utah's MyKayla Skinner. UCLA, led by coach Valorie Kondos Field, defended its conference title. Read more about why Katelyn made this change here.
