I did gymnastics for five years. One afternoon, I got to practice a little late. I was eating a Snickers bar because I missed lunch. One of the trainers came up to me and grabbed the Snickers out of my hands, and started screaming at me that "eating like a pig must have been more important to me than practicing". Everyone stopped what they were doing. We were all terrified of her because this was an everyday occurence. If we got scared on the parallel bars, we got screamed at until we cried, and then we got screamed at for being childish. I was fucking nine! I loved doing gymnastics and ballet, but the coaches were really abusive. No child deserves to he treated like that. NOBODY deserves to be treated like that.
@@dorothysmith7226 She got shut down a few years later, and neither of her daughters speak to her (they got the worst of the abuse, by far). She's now a professional Karen, who sues people for a living. People like that are so miserable.
My coach smacked you on your hands( knuckles ) with a ruler if you let go of the parallel bars. . Brutal. My hands were blue on top and no skin on inside of my hands ( no leather grips ) Quit after 13 years. The uneven parallel bars **
The last time I seen her on a balance beam she couldn't dismount without rolling her cankle and falling on her face. Almost as if she gained so much weight her body couldn't support her weight while doing her routine. Funny how that works.
Am so happy she found a coach that not only coached her but recognized the internal anger from being put down in the past and worked with her. So many would have walked away.
Look, this is a physical sport where form meets function both technically and esthetically. The pro standards reject ballerinas for being too tall and models being too short etc….Hopefully she can overcome this issue and come to terms. Let’s face it, it’s great being a private person because you are doing thing to fulfill your own destiny and not constantly seeking others’ approval which is what professional fame is all about.
@@avayu2289 only Catwalk models have had to be a certain type/height and even that is changing slowly. Generally speaking models overall are sought of any age/gender/shape otherwise.
agree that form meets function in elite level sport, but the rules for form are being rewritten in gymnastics, as well as all other female competitive sports. Once upon a time, tennis players looked like Martina Navratilova. And then along came the very muscular Serena Williams. Misty Copeland has an atypical bust size for ballet. Nina Derwael is unusually tall for a gymnast. I believe that coaches and peers need to curtail their archaic ways of thinking because she defeated Simone Biles looking this way. It obviously didn't affect her performance.
@@avayu2289 If you're telling a young evolving girl to essentially starve herself you're putting her at serious risk of complications and even death. I agree form is important but there's a difference between being fat and growing due to hormones and puberty. Your hips get wider and your chest gets bigger. It's science. No amount of starving yourself is going to change your body's natural process. And add muscle to that and it makes them look big but they are healthy and fit. The expectation to be dainty and slim is just not possible.
I'm glad she brought this up & yeah she just became a woman's body //no longer a child // but in no way did she become fat // those coaches need to have real consequences for their actions -- so awful but thank goodness not all of them behave like this
Watch her a hundred times!! She is so full of life and joy I am so angry she was made to feel less than. There are real monsters out there posing as humans.
my daughter did gymnastics for years and when she lost weight thru a growth spurt she was paraded around like inspiration to the other girls to lose weight ...i took her out immediately as i saw the joy she got out of being praised for losing weight that was not needed
I have to agree with You ! She is so Breathtakingly Precious! That Baby only knew Of those That Love Her with there Heart and Soul ! What gets me Girls will do this even my Daughter, I see Her scrolling through her post and Just all past the Wonderful post Who Loved Her and Thing she is so Beautiful! Just ignore them ! But Man when she see one that was Bad man she stomp the Brakes get so mad upset Cry 😢! I can't understand Women in this ! I say you past 100's of Wonderful post see one Bad one and That's the one You respond to ! What the Hell !!!!! This Baby is so Precious! I think all Girls are Women can be so Incredibly Beautiful inside and out they were made to be Loved its why God took the Rib from Adam so the Man and Wo'Man Were created to make the Closer to one another Why God took the Rob from A Man ! I can only Imagine How Close Adam was to Eve ! But God Created a Women to be Loved, There are so many Women that aren't allowing to be Loved which is So sad ! One Day When this World Ends The Truth will be shown ! What is sad there are stories I've Heard that we will not have Wives in Heaven ! Then I hear we will but I Pray that God will tell me the answer on this ! So Far He hasn't said anything ! I can't find a Wife Here on Earth I'm just Praying I will in Heaven ... I hate to know I will spend Eternity without a Precious Angel by my side ! It would truly hurt my Soul ! I'm praying I will find an Angel while I'm here on Earth ! But Sadly I haven't ever since 2012 ... But I Pray 🙏😔😪✝️ That I will ! Wow I'm sorry I got totally off track on this Please forgive me ! Lisa I'm sorry ! But I wished I could tell Her how Breathtakingly Beautiful She is in every way ! Not listen to those who talk bad about Her ! 💗🤍😇🙏🏻
You are so right it makes me so I’d like to get some by by the throat just say one rude about it I don’t care she weigh 300 pounds she accomplish more and her short time on the floor and most people do in a lifetime and shot LOL by the way lineup a chance a People other one just got a turn on your record your find out she had 10 or more show me some by even come close to the app and deserved it without or with judges ha ha lady not going to sort it she would get a tan every time she hit the floor if I was judging that’s how good she was I was said during March and dropped down my God how can she do that she was spring at you like a leper chat and come back screaming about her. More like she owns that sucker you know what she did on that poor and I’m so I’m with you on your comments they should shut your mouth when you come to this beautiful woman there’s no one compares with her and there’s some good ones. There are some good ones but she is the best I’ll put a crown on her head and say that’s all there’s no more competition it’s Ramen. I pray she becomes a coach or something because she loves what you did that’s enough I gotta go take care.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Ketelyn Ohashi,Desejo com sinceridade do meu coração,,,Que onde teus pés tocarem,Deus seja contigo e te dê a Vitória 🙌 e você seja completamente livre de todo sentimento negativo,🇧🇷
I could not agree more, but because Kate is, Sincere and Modest, the barbs from the envious and nsty little people hurt her. Please, Lady, know you are loved and admired by millions, who know you look and are a amazingly accomplished athlete and lovely woman. Your beautiful strong body is a joy to see. THANK YOU FOR BRIGHTENING OUR WORLD. Bless you. ❤🌸💮🌹💚
Curvy barrier?!? No such thing. She was an exceptional athlete who happened to be curvy. That's unusual in gymnastics. MOST "curvy" (actually chubby - which she was not) gymnast never make it past hobby levels. Your body type DOES affect your performance. especially if you're overweight and underdeveloped in muscle and stamina.
I remember watching her floor routine that went viral and you just felt like dancing alongside her! It was so full of joy and fun but there were so many comments about her weight. Not about the amazing performance and tricks, not about the huge smile on her face, these people watched her routine and pointed out her weight, which literally was nothing. It’s heartbreaking that athletes have to go through this
People got so used to this one specific gymnast body type for women that anything else is seen as disgustingly big, even though she is at her physical prime and an incredible athlete. I'm so sick of female athletes being treated like eye candy that needs to grin all the time and be tiny
@M P who cares about their weight and why???? Their bodies change because they train so hard, of course they won't have girly figures. And their body mass is mostly muscle. The public should stay quiet

Very unfortunate that she was shamed and given hate. she looked amazing in her curviest form, and looked the most energetic and happy during her performances. Definitely my favorite gymnast to watch
I'm stunned. As a father, I can't imagine having other adults treating my daughter that way. If she were my child, I would have beseeched her to find another outlet for her considerable talents.
This applies to work life as well. I've had crappy bosses and I finally have a really good one who makes me feel like a human being. It's amazing how that can affect your motivation and mental health.
@@mattwoods8872 Wait, the coach you're referring to isn't the same. The previous coaches were sued for drug abuse and Ohashi's parents were witness to their crimes. They testified in front of a Florida court and the 3 coaches were found guilty, and were sent to a max security facility there because the judge flexed his constitutional authority over 3 Ukrainian meth heads. PS I love Ukraine and its independence from Russia, but this is a topic for another time. Please don't insert politics into this. The 3 coaches were also abusive to Olesya Rulin before she quit gymnastics and went on to become an actress and violinist in NYO
i did gymnastics and dance for almost my entire life and i dont think people understand the amount of muscle that comes with those sports. she isn't "big or fat" she just has more muscle than others
YES! I agree. Muscle weighs more than fat right? Muscle also burns fat. I’ve not ever seen an overweight gymnast. Ever. Kaitlyn was gorgeous in college and probably still is!
She was also becoming a young lady. Some of the girls have genetics that are more curvy than others. It's always the tomboy body type coaches that attack the most viciously it seems.
She was taking a break and gained normal weight from not working out as much. It is her body but that is additional weight that she now has to move with. She proved that it didn’t affect her in performance, but I can see how it could be a concern so focused in a sport that relies so heavily on not just skill but size as well
Yes but she and I are built the same, she naturally has wider hips, thus any muscle she adds on is going to make her look as they used to say "bottom heavy" I weigh 115 lbs, but because where I am proportioned, I look like I need to tone up the lower half, damn genetics.🙄😬
@@cannsmith that’s not the point though. The point is that everyone was calling her fat and making her seem like she wasn’t good enough when she was skinny. You don’t know if she was working out or not and frankly that’s not even the topic at hand
I’d love to see a documentary done on Kaitlyn. She and Simone were neck and neck in competitions. Kaitlyn continued on to become one of the best college athletes and had to deal with negativity sometimes due to her weight. In spite of adding a few pounds she proved that one can still be successful in gymnastics with a positive mindset, talent and hard work. She also always showed that contagious smile and routines that really highlighted her playful personality
When I was a ‘elite’ gymnast we had to weigh ourselves weekly. I was always skinny so they never said anything to me but I had a friend who really struggled with that and didn’t wanna eat fast food or stuff. We were 8-9 years old and training 6 hours a day, like gurl you’re allowed to treat yourself to some fast food
I don't think elite level athletes get the luxury of treating themselves. That's what steps them above the rest. One of my besties was a racecar driver and he survived on tomatoes and cabbage so he could be as light as possible. That's what it took to break the track record.
@@jessequist7450 ok I think gymnastics is a bit different in that regard. You don’t really have to be ‘light as a feather’ because weight can actually give you an advantage on the bars, vault and floor where you can use the vibration of the equipment to your advantage.
Well that’s your parents fault. Unless you or whoever wants to be a winner and have no issue with training to become a champion you know as a gymnast what it takes to win. If you just want to have fun there are teams and places you can go for that atmosphere. The problem I see is the parents that want to live their lives through their kids and pushing them while never asking them if this is what they want. Parents are the reason it’s getting almost impossible to get umpires and referees for kids sports. They’re fed up with being demeaned and threatened because of calls they make. It’s not worth it.
@@colorbar.seh for certain sports they are. Some sports like the one where they swing in a circle and chuck stuff they tend to carry excess fat but other sports the fat can hinder their ability. It's sport specific
I still get riled every time I've seen this video (and the longer version). Ohashi is an incredible athlete. When I see her floor routines I am constantly amazed at her athleticism, her technique and her brilliant smile. I admire her strength and fortitude to fight through the cruel body shaming she had to endure.
Exactly, she has an hourglass body, thick thighs and has boobs, she's like an 10 among of a lot of 6 who thinks that they need to be underweight, but unfortunately she couldn't be able to see how pretty she is
I'm so glad she found a coach who reignited her passion and happiness and for once was positive and understanding towards her.Her smile is really heartwarming.Hope she can keep being an happy gymnast :)
The whole point is that it shouldn't be about her looks. Ugly people can be athletes too, you know. But it's only women who are berated for not looking perfect regardless of how brilliant they are at doing what they do
Or you could just thank the coaches... ya know, instead of whatever nonsensical made up invisible magic sky fairy your parents happened to be duped into believing before passing those same delusional beliefs down to you. *facepalm*
Thank the coaches for calling her fat, an Elephant, look like you swallowed a pig? That's caring? The girl is/was incredible. Don't judges judge on ability application etc. Not on the look, then they is other issues of appropriation. Anyone been inapropriate is the camera engineer and editer. Not the gymnast.
It is so wild to me that coaches in sports like gym think that negative abuse makes gymnasts stronger than positive reinforcement and care. People need to be built up and those strong foundations help them to become great athletes. If you are being torn down by coaches and support people and even other athletes, you will collapse under pressure because you no longer think you're worth enough to stand tall and true. Once you lose faith in yourself you will never succeed, and it breaks my heart that there are coaches who tear down their students, and kill the faith in themselves and the joy that came from doing the sport for themselves, instead of other people. I appreciate those like Katelyn Ohashi speaking out about this sort of thing because how can we expect anyone, let alone gymnasts, to flourish when they are simultaneously being taught to hate their bodies and to think of themselves as living for some external goal from someone else, instead of living for themselves and putting their own goals and happiness first? It's why many people also think the most courageous thing Simone Biles did was to put her own health (physical and mental) instead of sacrificing it to the dais of gymnastics.
I always appreciated Shawn Johnson’s coach, Chow. He let her have a pretty normal childhood. She did ball games and dances as well as training. I think he balanced her very good. Marta and USAG pushed way too hard. I’m glad Simone took her mental health by hand to help herself. I’ve always wondered why USAG promoted such a toxic environment. I will be shocked if Simone comes back. I hope she enjoys life and finds other passions along the way!
You know, it really depends on the person. A lot of people respond to positive approaches, but there are some who need that push from the negative. It also depends heavily on the coach and the trust between the two.
@Boogie Nights Mark Wahlberg yeah, it seems like some need to realize what lines not to cross as well! like what the hell does her weight and appearance have to do with it if her performance is great?
@@hanamachii_ Sadly literal bullying from coaches is super common. Do y'all know what skating world looks like? EDs and girls who are physically too destroyed to skate in their 20s.
Not in a pervert way , I like your shape , it's a true womanly shape , with muscle and athl😮etic ability, and a beautiful smile , that adds to your extraordinary talent ! Keep believing in yourself, and never give in to the bullying !
In ballet the same tragedy occurs. I dream of the day ballet teachers and dance companies have nutritionist on staff and are teaching these athletes how to eat for their health and for better performance. The agility of a dancer will rise to unmeasurable heights!!! ❤
I'm so glad she found a coach who nurtured, loved, and showed her how to overcome all the crap from the bad coaches. It's sad seeing someone stop loving something because of bad people.
The most talented and fun to watch gymnast I've ever seen in all my 62 years!! Disgusting she suffered from such Abuse!! NO COACH has the right to treat a child like that!! Or anyone on the planet for that matter!!
UGH! It takes an INCREDIBLE amount of muscle and strength to perform gymnastics at her level. Some gymnasts stay tiny, but perform better when skinny is not a factor. This girl is a powerhouse of talent. 💪🏼✨👏🏼
I can’t believe we went to the same elementary school! I remember how dedicated she was to gymnastics back then, so happy to see she stuck with it and has the success she deserves ❤️
@@sagittariusemperor9692 Wow, what an original hilarious joke! I’ve actually lost 50 pounds recently and am trying to better my health. Not that you care tho, you just want me to feel bad about myself lmao
@@kelsynicole9135 all trolls have an eating disorder of attention... Let's not feed them, it's bad for their weight. Congrats to you on your 50lbs off, that's a really great accomplishment. Even if you get a little discouraged along the way don't worry about it, we all do, but the champions always get back up and try again.
I completely understand how she feels. I am a cheerleader who’s done cheer for 10 years. When I moved to school cheer from competitive cheer I had this very rude coach. I’ve had to put up with her for two years now and she’s even my science teacher. I was the center flyer and was in the center for stunts and tumbling and all that. I was extremely skinny and tiny, but she later started to comment about how I was getting “bigger” and that I needed to lose some weight. I got so frustrated with my self that I was accordingly “getting bigger”. I got removed from being a flyer and I was moved to the back, because I was “embarrassing to look at”. I would always let her words get to me, so one day I just stopped eating. After this it became a habit. I would not eat anything all day and I would only drink a little water. I started to become very lightheaded daily and I would almost pass out from not eating and hardly drinking. I didn’t tell my mom that this was all happening till she figured out I wasn’t eating. When she figured out, she immediately went up to the school about all of this. I’ve lost 45 pounds from this woman and her nasty comments. I’ve started to gain an eating disorder as well. Don’t let mean comments get to you like I did. It’s not worth almost losing your life for someone’s nasty, mean words. It’s also very safe to say that I will NOT be doing this cheer team under her supervision next year.
What a horrible woman. She's still teaching and coaching cheer? If she bullied one person into an eating disorder, she's likely done the same to others. I hope you're taking care of yourself now! You did not deserve any of that.
I did iceskating and was told I was growing because I ate too much. I gained as ED in an attempt to stunt my growth to stay in a sport. Newsflash…it didn’t work.
@@annistyncaroline27 I hope she gets removed. You're a very strong person, way to go. Did Katelyn have an eating disorder to gain the weight or is a lot of it muscle? Take care.
NEVER HATE YOURSELF , OR DOUBT YOUR ABILITIES , . . . WHEN YOU DON'T QUIT , AND CONTINUE TO APPLY YOURSELF , YOU WILL REALIZE THAT " YOU " CAN ACCOMPLISH . . . ANYTHING !!!!!!! NEVER STOP , AND NEVER QUIT !!!!!!!
that's what I'm wondering too can you flip and do balance shit when you are overweight? some coaches like are like gonna roast you... is it bad depends... but do you think the best athletes in world weren't roasted by their own coaches. fuck your coach is your worst enemy in terms of roasting... but do they want you to lose. nah... if someoen else tells you shit they'll be the first in line to beat the fuck out of that guy.
@@criscris428 difference is that she’s not overweight, there’s an atmosphere in certain female sports that you won’t be able to “compete” if you aren’t matching the “perfect/model frame” which is ridiculous. I’ve played plenty of team sports where some of the most athletic dudes were 230+ lbs in like middle school/highschool which could be considered “overweight”. NFL O and D Linemen are the easiest examples of large but still athletic bodies.
@@jacobsaucier5346 o line and d line men aren't gymnasts.. yes your body has to be a certain way for different sports.. there are exceptions but they aren't the rules
@@maverick33guy95 well the original thing I replied too called her overweight, my example of NFL is that technically “overweight” people playing pro sports are still more athletic than 90% of the average population.
She is an amazing talent at any weight and beautiful to boot. This is a great revelation from this precious young woman!!! More power to her and God bless her!!!❤❤
Work your body to absurd limits but don't replenish it, super great advice from those "coaches". Sometimes i think those people have a fetish for pushing people to an eating disorder, it's disgusting. Don't let people make you think nourishing your body is ever a bad thing.
@@chloehennessey6813 definitely don't ever wanna over nourish yourself what would starving kids in third world countries think if u are not hot, they would say im so hot and definitely not starving to literal death, i can't believe this other random girl is not hot, cuz thats all i could ever care about. also i need to date douchebag boys and divorce them so who else is gonna be happy, if not myself. thank god im barely eating like underprivileged kids around the world so that i can be hot, even tho i AM privileged enough to eat whatever i want lol 😂 i feel so bad for everyone man
@@chloehennessey6813i couldn't imagine definitely over nourishing myself. it's disgusting having the privilege to eat so much, while starving kids in third world countries only care about being hot they would never understand the struggles girls face with staying skinny enough. im sorry i just thought its kinda funny u said that cuz i have dated someone recently who came from a underprivileged family and just take care of yourself holmies
It sounds like the new coach is a wonderful person who cares more about your mental health than your body. It’s so great to see you smiling again! Good for you and good for her!
Bless you young lady! Sorry those criminals did that to you! No one deserves that abuse! I watch your videos every day, I think you are the best I’ve ever seen! My first Olympics as a spectator was 1968
This breaks my heart. Before her viral videos of her floor routines I didn't pay attention to gymnastics outside of the Olympics. I didn't know the sport had a life outside of that competition. Her routines were so fun and her bubbly enthusiasm was infectious. So sad to know that people were saying such things about her because she's beautiful at any size and way more talented than most people could ever wish to be.
My sister went through all of that from 4 years old until she was a walk on for the OU gymnastics team in college. I hurt to watch her go through that. You are all beautiful, no matter your size, your age, your gender. You are beautiful, don't forget it.
Katelyn has the biggest smile of any young lady i have watched do gymnastics, it's sad that people can't appreciate her talent more than her physical structure, she is such a beautiful person
Beautiful young lady and I hate she was shamed for being who she is. But Bless your new Coach and you for being able to have fun in a sport you love so much!
Those comments she received were ridiculous. When I watch her perform, I just see the strength & power in her body. It's quite honestly jaw-dropping watching her in motion ❤
@@sammyjr6989you know this how!? You sound like a troll. Shut up with your negative bs.🇬🇧 Always some idiot on the internet, must be nice being so perfect.
@@johnk6598 the extra mass of muscles can mean needing a longer run up etc to be able to get enough momentum to do the tricks. But the regulation floor space for competition doesn't give lots of room for that so it's a balance. But at the end of the day it's dumb. It's never okay to talk to anyone about their body like that. Especially not to young girls.
@@johnk6598 her previous coaches did what they learned and what they were taught. Ms Val, the coach that turned her career around, realized after a really awful season that it wasn't working and did something new. Positive reinforcement, having fun, bringing joy. It showed so much in the results that the routine went viral even among people who don't follow gymnastics.
Just like with ballet and figure skating. You need to be slim, but coaches get so fixated on this "perfect body image" for those athletes that they don't even care how these girls will develop ostheoporosis, stop their peridos etc. But as long as they are pretty and able to do tricks that are hard just for the sake of being hard to do, it stops being an art form
Darling Girl. Your talent is so great, coaches couldn’t improve you, so they tried tearing you down first in order to remake you for their own credit. I’m a grandmother with a dance background who still watches your performances whenever I get the chance. You. Are fabulous in your routines, demeanor and looks. You have given us so much. Bravo my Young Super Hero. ❤️. I wish all of life’s good and joyous things for you and yours. Much love and respect from Texas
What you needed was the power of LOVE. YOUR coach showed you LOVE. and look at you now. You are absolutely amazing. One of the greatest gymnast of all time.
Katelyn Otashi was the reason why I started to admire gymnastics. She’s such a great gymnast and performer, her routines are so fun and entertaining, and she’s a beautiful person. I remember seeing her a couple years ago and thinking how powerful she looks, It must’ve been so crushing to have a coach that talks so disgustingly towards you. A coach is supposed to be supportive, helpful, and there for you. I hope Katelyn is doing much better now, we love you girl!❤
These kids work SO hard. & devote their lives to their sport. How sad for it to become so negative. I'm so thankful she found a way & found support to smile again.
I loved watching videos about this coach and Katelyn’s journey… super awesome lady! So glad to see coaches out here being what they’re supposed to be and not assaulting their students.
Anyone who is dumb enough to call you these stupid names were most probably jealous of your skill and could only imagine doing it themselves? NOT! You have always brought joy when you perform, you’re filled with light love and happiness…
Great people, in this case, Katelyn’s college coach was AMAZING in her support and humanity toward Katelyn. She’s always been a great gymnast. I’m glad she has healed…is healing.❤❤❤
Finding the right coach is the hardest, and most important part of bringing out the best in each athlete. I’m so happy you found a coach who helped you love your sport again and supported you ❤❤❤
That happiness shines through, and the trust and confidence she gained with a carring and understanding coaching staff resulted in a confident gymnast and 10s from the judges. Not to mention a whole new generation of young gymnasts with a new, positive inspiration.
There are so MANY gymnist that you can't remember them all. When I think of gymnist YOU come to my mind. I love watching you! I remember every routines, your zeal, your energy, your obvious love of the sport!! You ROCK!
This is so sad to hear😥 She is such a talented gymnast! I LOVE watching her perform because she is sooooo amazing. Her smile is contagious and she has a great vibe. Love yourself, we do!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I did gymnastics for five years. One afternoon, I got to practice a little late. I was eating a Snickers bar because I missed lunch. One of the trainers came up to me and grabbed the Snickers out of my hands, and started screaming at me that "eating like a pig must have been more important to me than practicing". Everyone stopped what they were doing. We were all terrified of her because this was an everyday occurence. If we got scared on the parallel bars, we got screamed at until we cried, and then we got screamed at for being childish. I was fucking nine!

C'est tellent parfait avec Katleen, qu'ancien prof de sport, m'a dit: c'est truqué ! Et imposdible de la faire changer d'idée ! Incroyable gymnaste !
How odd that it would be at UCLA the home of coach Wooden and the best college sports program of all time
I'm glad she found a coach that didn't use body-shaming as a training tool. She is an amazing athlete, and a beautiful, vibrant young woman.
👍🏿
Beautiful young lady. I'm glad she has a loving and caring coach 💞🫂💞

my daughter did gymnastics for years and when she lost weight thru a growth spurt she was paraded around like inspiration to the other girls to lose weight ...i took her out immediately as i saw the joy she got out of being praised for losing weight that was not needed

It breaks my heart to hear being shamed for body. She is a gorgeous beyond talented athlete.
I can say that she is the best

This Baby is so Precious!
I think all Girls are Women can be so Incredibly Beautiful inside and out they were made to be Loved its why God took the Rib from Adam so the Man and Wo'Man Were created to make the Closer to one another Why God took the Rob from A Man !
I can only Imagine How Close Adam was to Eve !
But God Created a Women to be Loved, There are so many Women that aren't allowing to be Loved which is So sad !
One Day When this World Ends The Truth will be shown !
What is sad there are stories I've Heard that we will not have Wives in Heaven !
Then I hear we will but I Pray that God will tell me the answer on this !
So Far He hasn't said anything !
I can't find a Wife Here on Earth I'm just Praying I will in Heaven ...
I hate to know I will spend Eternity without a Precious Angel by my side !
It would truly hurt my Soul !
I'm praying I will find an Angel while I'm here on Earth !
But Sadly I haven't ever since 2012 ...
But I Pray 🙏😔😪✝️ That I will !
Wow I'm sorry I got totally off track on this Please forgive me !
Lisa I'm sorry !
But I wished I could tell Her how Breathtakingly Beautiful She is in every way ! Not listen to those who talk bad about Her ! 💗🤍😇🙏🏻
You are so right it makes me so I’d like to get some by by the throat just say one rude about it I don’t care she weigh 300 pounds she accomplish more and her short time on the floor and most people do in a lifetime and shot LOL by the way lineup a chance a People other one just got a turn on your record your find out she had 10 or more show me some by even come close to the app and deserved it without or with judges ha ha lady not going to sort it she would get a tan every time she hit the floor if I was judging that’s how good she was I was said during March and dropped down my God how can she do that she was spring at you like a leper chat and come back screaming about her. More like she owns that sucker you know what she did on that poor and I’m so I’m with you on your comments they should shut your mouth when you come to this beautiful woman there’s no one compares with her and there’s some good ones. There are some good ones but she is the best I’ll put a crown on her head and say that’s all there’s no more competition it’s Ramen. I pray she becomes a coach or something because she loves what you did that’s enough I gotta go take care.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Ketelyn Ohashi,Desejo com sinceridade do meu coração,,,Que onde teus pés tocarem,Deus seja contigo e te dê a Vitória 🙌 e você seja completamente livre de todo sentimento negativo,🇧🇷
I could not agree more, but because Kate is, Sincere and Modest, the barbs from the envious and nsty little people hurt her. Please, Lady, know you are loved and admired by millions, who know you look and are a amazingly accomplished athlete and lovely woman.
Your beautiful strong body is a joy to see. THANK YOU FOR BRIGHTENING OUR WORLD.
Bless you. ❤🌸💮🌹💚
I am mindblowed on every of her performances. She's pure joy to watch. Please, never change. ❤
She is so Beautiful, and Talented, as she Broke the Curvey Barrier in this Sport. She was my favorite.
Curvy barrier?!? No such thing. She was an exceptional athlete who happened to be curvy. That's unusual in gymnastics. MOST "curvy" (actually chubby - which she was not) gymnast never make it past hobby levels.
Your body type DOES affect your performance. especially if you're overweight and underdeveloped in muscle and stamina.
*Black Women collectively rolls eyes*
Gymnastics, figure skating and ballet; the holy trinity of Eating disordered athletes
Then there’s me, a 250 pound adult trying all those things for the first time
And ballet, while not a sport is a challenging activity where thinness is required.

I remember watching her floor routine that went viral and you just felt like dancing alongside her! It was so full of joy and fun but there were so many comments about her weight. Not about the amazing performance and tricks, not about the huge smile on her face, these people watched her routine and pointed out her weight, which literally was nothing. It’s heartbreaking that athletes have to go through this
People got so used to this one specific gymnast body type for women that anything else is seen as disgustingly big, even though she is at her physical prime and an incredible athlete. I'm so sick of female athletes being treated like eye candy that needs to grin all the time and be tiny
That's heartbreaking 💔
@M P who cares about their weight and why???? Their bodies change because they train so hard, of course they won't have girly figures. And their body mass is mostly muscle. The public should stay quiet

Who cares about her weight her size just look at what she can do then size and weight be damned
Very unfortunate that she was shamed and given hate. she looked amazing in her curviest form, and looked the most energetic and happy during her performances. Definitely my favorite gymnast to watch
This is why having the right coach and mentor is SO important.
Not once did I look at her and have that cross my mind. She’s incredibly beautiful
She's Beautiful in Every Way.. Her skills are top notch above Everyone. ❤
She's a gorgeous young lady. What the hell is wrong with these people?
I'm stunned. As a father, I can't imagine having other adults treating my daughter that way. If she were my child, I would have beseeched her to find another outlet for her considerable talents.
U gotta look the part
@@scottfinnie.copisamajordf.5758 tf does that mean
A good coach will always make you feel confident yet willing to still improve. Glad she found a good coach
This applies to work life as well. I've had crappy bosses and I finally have a really good one who makes me feel like a human being. It's amazing how that can affect your motivation and mental health.
A good coach will also tell you if you are overweight
If you think she is over weight it takes a scumbag to say something like that
Happy to see beautiful young woman become comfortable and postive ignoring the haters and body shamers. ❤❤❤
This woman is physically absolutely perfect. It’s crazy how a sport can distort a persons mind
Plus que parfait, if you know what I mean.
Let’s all relax
Carrément
I always wondered why she wasn't in any of the Olympics but now I see why. This is really sad to see happen to such a gifted athlete 😢
She’s full of shit sorry. Every comment I ever saw was talking about how beautiful she was and how proud of her people were.
This coach restored this young gymnast’s physical and mental health and her joy and love of gymnastics.
Only after the coach realised she was part of the problem , fixed her own attitude , and embraced this young lady
@@mattwoods8872 Wait, the coach you're referring to isn't the same. The previous coaches were sued for drug abuse and Ohashi's parents were witness to their crimes. They testified in front of a Florida court and the 3 coaches were found guilty, and were sent to a max security facility there because the judge flexed his constitutional authority over 3 Ukrainian meth heads.
PS I love Ukraine and its independence from Russia, but this is a topic for another time. Please don't insert politics into this. The 3 coaches were also abusive to Olesya Rulin before she quit gymnastics and went on to become an actress and violinist in NYO
i did gymnastics and dance for almost my entire life and i dont think people understand the amount of muscle that comes with those sports. she isn't "big
or fat" she just has more muscle than others
YES! I agree. Muscle weighs more than fat right? Muscle also burns fat. I’ve not ever seen an overweight gymnast. Ever. Kaitlyn was gorgeous in college and probably still is!
She was also becoming a young lady. Some of the girls have genetics that are more curvy than others. It's always the tomboy body type coaches that attack the most viciously it seems.
She was taking a break and gained normal weight from not working out as much. It is her body but that is additional weight that she now has to move with. She proved that it didn’t affect her in performance, but I can see how it could be a concern so focused in a sport that relies so heavily on not just skill but size as well
Yes but she and I are built the same, she naturally has wider hips, thus any muscle she adds on is going to make her look as they used to say "bottom heavy" I weigh 115 lbs, but because where I am proportioned, I look like I need to tone up the lower half, damn genetics.🙄😬
@@cannsmith that’s not the point though. The point is that everyone was calling her fat and making her seem like she wasn’t good enough when she was skinny. You don’t know if she was working out or not and frankly that’s not even the topic at hand
I’d love to see a documentary done on Kaitlyn. She and Simone were neck and neck in competitions. Kaitlyn continued on to become one of the best college athletes and had to deal with negativity sometimes due to her weight. In spite of adding a few pounds she proved that one can still be successful in gymnastics with a positive mindset, talent and hard work. She also always showed that contagious smile and routines that really highlighted her playful personality
Katelyn Ohashi and Laurie Hernandez...... beautiful ladies and enthusiastically infectious.
I will definitely 3x's that ! They are just Precious! 💗🤍😇😇
When I was a ‘elite’ gymnast we had to weigh ourselves weekly. I was always skinny so they never said anything to me but I had a friend who really struggled with that and didn’t wanna eat fast food or stuff. We were 8-9 years old and training 6 hours a day, like gurl you’re allowed to treat yourself to some fast food
Yesss this I think is so icky how the thing we loved becomes a job a gross job in ballet we had to do that too it was the worst part of the day for us
You'd think it was an eating disorder clinic by weighing weekly.
I don't think elite level athletes get the luxury of treating themselves. That's what steps them above the rest. One of my besties was a racecar driver and he survived on tomatoes and cabbage so he could be as light as possible. That's what it took to break the track record.
@@jessequist7450 ok I think gymnastics is a bit different in that regard. You don’t really have to be ‘light as a feather’ because weight can actually give you an advantage on the bars, vault and floor where you can use the vibration of the equipment to your advantage.
Well that’s your parents fault. Unless you or whoever wants to be a winner and have no issue with training to become a champion you know as a gymnast what it takes to win. If you just want to have fun there are teams and places you can go for that atmosphere. The problem I see is the parents that want to live their lives through their kids and pushing them while never asking them if this is what they want. Parents are the reason it’s getting almost impossible to get umpires and referees for kids sports. They’re fed up with being demeaned and threatened because of calls they make. It’s not worth it.
That is absolutely disgusting. She is a talented powerhouse, not fat at all. Her energy comes from her stamina and strength.
She wouldn't be able to perform in the capacity she does without the physique she has tbh
even if she was this would be horrible, honestly even worse. the reassurance is unnecessary. talented powerhouse and fat aren't incompatible terms.
And her cool swinging groove.
@@colorbar.seh for certain sports they are. Some sports like the one where they swing in a circle and chuck stuff they tend to carry excess fat but other sports the fat can hinder their ability. It's sport specific
Not eating diminishes that strength
I still get riled every time I've seen this video (and the longer version). Ohashi is an incredible athlete. When I see her floor routines I am constantly amazed at her athleticism, her technique and her brilliant smile. I admire her strength and fortitude to fight through the cruel body shaming she had to endure.
Most beautiful gymnast ever
Skinny, thin, "normal", chubby, big.
All are "real"

Don't be unrealistic with your comment, she isn't "the most beautiful ever 🙄" but she is beautiful 👍

I always thought she was the most beautiful. She looks so STRONG! And that is beautiful in of itself. She's so skilled and an amazing performer.
Still crying about this...too short, too small...you are not the only one.
When I watch her with her big smile. She makes me smile. Thank you so much.
She was beautiful the whole time! I’m glad that she found the right coaches and new joy in the sport. A true honor to watch.
The whole point is that it shouldn't be about her looks. Ugly people can be athletes too, you know. But it's only women who are berated for not looking perfect regardless of how brilliant they are at doing what they do
She is the one that made me fall in love with the floor routine, HER FLOOR ROUTINE ! I Love this woman ! Don't change a thing ! You are BEAUTIFUL ❤️
Gorgeous. She presents such a carefree, bubbly funny outgoing attitude in the videos I've watched. And she is physically beautiful as well.
Thank God for coaches that really care about the persons well being not just another notch on their belt
Or you could just thank the coaches... ya know, instead of whatever nonsensical made up invisible magic sky fairy your parents happened to be duped into believing before passing those same delusional beliefs down to you. *facepalm*
@@Big74Mike2012 your opinion. Doesn’t make it right
Are there coaches like that ? I always hear they are sa a lot of these girls .
Thank the coaches for calling her fat, an Elephant, look like you swallowed a pig? That's caring? The girl is/was incredible. Don't judges judge on ability application etc. Not on the look, then they is other issues of appropriation. Anyone been inapropriate is the camera engineer and editer. Not the gymnast.
It is so wild to me that coaches in sports like gym think that negative abuse makes gymnasts stronger than positive reinforcement and care. People need to be built up and those strong foundations help them to become great athletes. If you are being torn down by coaches and support people and even other athletes, you will collapse under pressure because you no longer think you're worth enough to stand tall and true. Once you lose faith in yourself you will never succeed, and it breaks my heart that there are coaches who tear down their students, and kill the faith in themselves and the joy that came from doing the sport for themselves, instead of other people. I appreciate those like Katelyn Ohashi speaking out about this sort of thing because how can we expect anyone, let alone gymnasts, to flourish when they are simultaneously being taught to hate their bodies and to think of themselves as living for some external goal from someone else, instead of living for themselves and putting their own goals and happiness first? It's why many people also think the most courageous thing Simone Biles did was to put her own health (physical and mental) instead of sacrificing it to the dais of gymnastics.
I always appreciated Shawn Johnson’s coach, Chow. He let her have a pretty normal childhood. She did ball games and dances as well as training. I think he balanced her very good. Marta and USAG pushed way too hard.
I’m glad Simone took her mental health by hand to help herself. I’ve always wondered why USAG promoted such a toxic environment. I will be shocked if Simone comes back. I hope she enjoys life and finds other passions along the way!
You know, it really depends on the person. A lot of people respond to positive approaches, but there are some who need that push from the negative. It also depends heavily on the coach and the trust between the two.
So true and important! Not only in sports. Thank you.
@Boogie Nights Mark Wahlberg yeah, it seems like some need to realize what lines not to cross as well! like what the hell does her weight and appearance have to do with it if her performance is great?

I completely understand how she feels. I am a cheerleader who’s done cheer for 10 years. When I moved to school cheer from competitive cheer I had this very rude coach. I’ve had to put up with her for two years now and she’s even my science teacher. I was the center flyer and was in the center for stunts and tumbling and all that. I was extremely skinny and tiny, but she later started to comment about how I was getting “bigger” and that I needed to lose some weight. I got so frustrated with my self that I was accordingly “getting bigger”. I got removed from being a flyer and I was moved to the back, because I was “embarrassing to look at”. I would always let her words get to me, so one day I just stopped eating. After this it became a habit. I would not eat anything all day and I would only drink a little water. I started to become very lightheaded daily and I would almost pass out from not eating and hardly drinking. I didn’t tell my mom that this was all happening till she figured out I wasn’t eating. When she figured out, she immediately went up to the school about all of this. I’ve lost 45 pounds from this woman and her nasty comments. I’ve started to gain an eating disorder as well. Don’t let mean comments get to you like I did. It’s not worth almost losing your life for someone’s nasty, mean words. It’s also very safe to say that I will NOT be doing this cheer team under her supervision next year.
What a horrible woman. She's still teaching and coaching cheer? If she bullied one person into an eating disorder, she's likely done the same to others. I hope you're taking care of yourself now! You did not deserve any of that.
I did iceskating and was told I was growing because I ate too much. I gained as ED in an attempt to stunt my growth to stay in a sport. Newsflash…it didn’t work.

that's what I'm wondering too can you flip and do balance shit when you are overweight? some coaches like are like gonna roast you... is it bad depends... but do you think the best athletes in world weren't roasted by their own coaches. fuck your coach is your worst enemy in terms of roasting... but do they want you to lose. nah... if someoen else tells you shit they'll be the first in line to beat the fuck out of that guy.
@@criscris428 difference is that she’s not overweight, there’s an atmosphere in certain female sports that you won’t be able to “compete” if you aren’t matching the “perfect/model frame” which is ridiculous. I’ve played plenty of team sports where some of the most athletic dudes were 230+ lbs in like middle school/highschool which could be considered “overweight”.

It sounds like the new coach is a wonderful person who cares more about your mental health than your body. It’s so great to see you smiling again! Good for you and good for her!
Yes but no. The coach also cares about her body but understands that being a capable gymnast requires strength, balance and flexibility not skinny.
Bless you young lady! Sorry those criminals did that to you! No one deserves that abuse!
I watch your videos every day, I think you are the best I’ve ever seen! My first Olympics as a spectator was 1968
This breaks my heart. Before her viral videos of her floor routines I didn't pay attention to gymnastics outside of the Olympics. I didn't know the sport had a life outside of that competition. Her routines were so fun and her bubbly enthusiasm was infectious. So sad to know that people were saying such things about her because she's beautiful at any size and way more talented than most people could ever wish to be.
My sister went through all of that from 4 years old until she was a walk on for the OU gymnastics team in college. I hurt to watch her go through that. You are all beautiful, no matter your size, your age, your gender. You are beautiful, don't forget it.
Young lady, anyone who told you those things are nothing but ignorant. You are and have been a joy to watch. Thank you so much!!

You both are so right, I always thought she was so beautiful, even when she went to the Olympics. 👍👍👍
Didn’t her extra muscle mass enable her to do what no other gymnast could do? That was the Ohashi revenge twist.
So why would a coach discourage a physique that improved her performance? I think a grain of salt is due here
@@johnk6598 are you fucking kidding
@@johnk6598 the extra mass of muscles can mean needing a longer run up etc to be able to get enough momentum to do the tricks. But the regulation floor space for competition doesn't give lots of room for that so it's a balance. But at the end of the day it's dumb. It's never okay to talk to anyone about their body like that. Especially not to young girls.
@@johnk6598 her previous coaches did what they learned and what they were taught.
Ms Val, the coach that turned her career around, realized after a really awful season that it wasn't working and did something new. Positive reinforcement, having fun, bringing joy.
It showed so much in the results that the routine went viral even among people who don't follow gymnastics.
Just like with ballet and figure skating. You need to be slim, but coaches get so fixated on this "perfect body image" for those athletes that they don't even care how these girls will develop ostheoporosis, stop their peridos etc. But as long as they are pretty and able to do tricks that are hard just for the sake of being hard to do, it stops being an art form
Darling Girl. Your talent is so great, coaches couldn’t improve you, so they tried tearing you down first in order to remake you for their own credit.

Bravo my Young Super Hero. ❤️. I wish all of life’s good and joyous things for you and yours. Much love and respect from Texas
What you needed was the power of LOVE. YOUR coach showed you LOVE. and look at you now. You are absolutely amazing. One of the greatest gymnast of all time.

Katelyn Otashi was the reason why I started to admire gymnastics. She’s such a great gymnast and performer, her routines are so fun and entertaining, and she’s a beautiful person. I remember seeing her a couple years ago and thinking how powerful she looks, It must’ve been so crushing to have a coach that talks so disgustingly towards you. A coach is supposed to be supportive, helpful, and there for you. I hope Katelyn is doing much better now, we love you girl!❤
These kids work SO hard. & devote their lives to their sport. How sad for it to become so negative. I'm so thankful she found a way & found support to smile again.
I'm SO GLAD she found [SELF] acceptance!!!
Not that it matters what anyone else thinks... but I think she is BEYOND BEAUTIFUL. 🤩
I loved watching videos about this coach and Katelyn’s journey… super awesome lady! So glad to see coaches out here being what they’re supposed to be and not assaulting their students.
It sometimes takes just one supportive figure who cares about the human in you
You have no idea how spot on you are. God bless you.
She looks HEALTHY and STRONG, both of which are so incredibly beautiful.
She is SO beautiful, and clearly talented! I'm grateful with her that she found the care of a couch who was loving and respectful!
Katelyn was an AMAZING athlete. What she was able to do was absolutely incredible. What a gifted gymnast
Was??
@@ellenmcintyre1247 you're right is, the routines she did would leave most people crippled
The fact that she can fall into a front split without getting hurt suggests to me that she can do a negative split.
She would put JCVD to shame.
You are one amazing young gymnast. Keep up being you. Never let anyone ever take you down.
Katelyn is absolutely beautiful. Her talents and the joy she brings are second to none !!!!
Anyone who is dumb enough to call you these stupid names were most probably jealous of your skill and could only imagine doing it themselves? NOT! You have always brought joy when you perform, you’re filled with light love and happiness…
This young Lady is absolutely Beautiful and so Talented ❤❤❤!!!
You are one of the most talented people I’ve ever watched perform, be yourself, be the great person you are
Great people, in this case, Katelyn’s college coach was AMAZING in her support and humanity toward Katelyn. She’s always been a great gymnast. I’m glad she has healed…is healing.❤❤❤
Finding the right coach is the hardest, and most important part of bringing out the best in each athlete. I’m so happy you found a coach who helped you love your sport again and supported you ❤❤❤
That's NOT fat. That's pure power muscle. Her routines are stunningly powerful. So glad she's able to get her love back
I'm so sorry you went through this too. For years I thought I was the only one. Thank you for talking about this.
That happiness shines through, and the trust and confidence she gained with a carring and understanding coaching staff resulted in a confident gymnast and 10s from the judges. Not to mention a whole new generation of young gymnasts with a new, positive inspiration.
She’s absolutely stunning! Why would anyone criticise her!
There are so MANY gymnist that you can't remember them all. When I think of gymnist YOU come to my mind. I love watching you! I remember every routines, your zeal, your energy, your obvious love of the sport!! You ROCK!
This is so sad to hear😥 She is such a talented gymnast! I LOVE watching her perform because she is sooooo amazing. Her smile is contagious and she has a great vibe. Love yourself, we do!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have met here at a meet she hosted where I live and she truly is the sweetest person ever!!
Oh Katelyn, you are so fantastic & have a wonderful talent. Don't give others the power to hurt you!
She is one of the most heart warming, joyous, elegant, and just beautiful to watch in the sport. ❤
Katelyn is an inspiration to me, and she is the only reason why I joined gymnastics and I love it
💜 Awww, that's so beautiful 🥰
The power of one person’s encouragement is astonishing. She’s such a phenomenal gymnast, she deserved better from coaches.
Your a beautiful woman and you have to be true to yourself! Stay blessed Stay strong and stay beautiful ❤
