Katelyn Michelle Ohashi (born April 12, 1997) is an American former artistic gymnast who competed for the University of California, Los Angeles.
She is a six-time All-American and was a four-time member of USA Gymnastics' Junior National Team, the 2011 junior national champion and the winner of the 2013 American Cup.
She was trending globally on various social media networks in January 2019 for her perfect 10 score at the 2019 Collegiate Challenge, the fourth perfect 10 floor routine of her career.
Early life and education
Ohashi was born in Seattle, Washington to Richard and Diana Ohashi, the latter a former high-school gymnast. She has three older brothers, Ryan, Kyle and Kalen, and is of German and Japanese descent.
Ohashi started gymnastics at age 3. In 2006, Ohashi, her mother, and the youngest of her brothers, Kalen, moved to Kansas City, Missouri. Three years later they moved to Plano, Texas, both to support her gymnastics training.
She attended Spring Creek Academy before graduating from Plano Senior High School in 2015. She began attending the University of California, Los Angeles in the fall of 2015, where she majored in gender studies, graduating in 2019.
Ohashi had body-image problems and has been a recipient of body-shaming insults. She has received mental health counseling, which she reports as being "crucial in my growing as a person and my mental health."
Gymnastics career
Ohashi began her training with Al Fong at Great American Gymnastics Express (GAGE) in Blue Springs, Missouri, where she met her first in her career. Ohashi was twelve years old when she made her debut on the national gymnastics scene in 2009, where she finished second on uneven bars, tied for second on uneven bars, placed fourth in the all-around, and tied for seventh on vault.
She placed fourth on the floor, tied for fifth on balance beam, and ninth in all-around at the 2009 US Classic in Des Moines, Iowa, where she placed fourth on the floor, tied for fifth in the junior division, and finished ninth in the all-around. This qualified her for the National Championships in Dallas, where she earned the silver medal on floor, placed sixth on beam, and was named to the junior national team.
Ohashi moved from Plano, Texas, to WOGA's Plano, Texas, right after Nationals.
Ohashi received silver medals in the all-around and on beams, beam, and floor of the 2010 US Classic in Chicago's junior division. In July, she captured the bars championship, finished third in the all-around, and tied for fourth on floor at the National Championships in Hartford, Connecticut. She came in fifth on beam and seventh on the vault.
Ohashi also won the junior-division gold medals in the all-around, floor, vault, and beam, as well as silver medals in bars and beam at the 2010 Bumbo Cup in Pretoria, South Africa.
Ohashi helped the United States win the team championship and received an individual gold medal on floor in the 2011 City of Jesolo Trophy's junior division. She finished second on uneven bars and placed third all-around, fourth on beam, and fifth on vault.
With a score of 14.95, she captured the silver medal on beam and tied for fifth on vault with Kiana Winston (14.55) at the Chicago United States Classic. She captured the junior all-around title in August with a score of 120.95 over two nights, defeating defending champion Kyla Ross.
At Nationals, Ohashi captured the bars championship with skills that included an el-grip endo to a straddled Jaeger, a Gienger, and a tucked double dismount. Her winning beam routine, one of the world's most difficult, featured a full-back design, a standing Arabian, an Onodi, and a piked full dismount. She also gained a floor with a routine that included a piked full-in and a two-and-a-half twist to front full. On vault, she made a double-twisting Yurchenko and came in fourth place.
Ohashi won the 2013 American Cup in March, defeating Simone Biles of the United States. She had shoulder surgery in April, preventing her from participating for the remainder of the year.
Ohashi said she was uncertain about her ability to continue at the international level after her injury in an interview at the 2014 WOGA Classic. She suffered from two torn shoulders and a spine injury that required surgery later this year, and she did not play again until 2015.
Ohashi's career went from elite to Level 10 in 2015, when it was returned to elite competition. The Texas Prime Meet was her first competition since 2013, but she only did on vault, beam, and floor.
On February 6, Ohashi competed in the 2015 Pikes Peak Cup in Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs. She finished second in the vault final with a score of 9.850, placing 17th in the all-around competition on three events rather than four. She then qualified in only three events at the 2015 WOGA Classic on February 14 and finished 14th overall. She placed 13th in the all-around and second on vault at the Legends Invitational in Los Angeles on February 20, where she placed 13th in the all-around and second on vault.
Ohashi spent time with UCLA's gymnastics staff from 2015 to 2016 and was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week four times. However, the cap of Ohashi's balance beam fell off during a meet against the Arizona Wildcats, causing her to land on her neck upon dismount. A sternal fracture had been detected on tests, which kept her out for four weeks. Ohashi finished the regular season at No. 93. One on balance beam got two perfect tens. She continued to impress in the 2018 season by surpassing her results from the previous year. She scored three perfect tens on floor, the first of her career, and set career records on the uneven bars, vault, and all-around. She was voted the year's best floor and third on beam during the regular season, and she was voted the PAC-12 specialist of the year. She competed on beam and floor, finishing fourth on beam and winning the floor championship, her first national championship win. Ohashi scored two 9.95s on beam and floor after winning another national championship victory with the UCLA team next night in the Super Six. She earned perfect 10s for a floor routine to an R&B and pop hits medley for the second time, and that has been widely posted on social media.
Katelyn Ohashi appeared in Simone Biles' "Gold Over America Tour" in 2021.
