That girl is fine as hell....gorgeous. That body cranked out a 10.0 on the floor so shame that
mark frankinstien the routine was a 9, but that body was an 11... so they gave her a 10 !-) lolz
I imagine people were jealous of her. She is fit with a great booty and also flipped around and entertained the crowd like it was nobodies business. It's a shame they tried to ruin her, but atleast they did not suceed!
That's exactly what I was gonna say lol
@Have-a- Cigar your a horse
@Daniel Moore I just think she's all that.... athletically and probably her intelligence puts her in a class of her own
Body shaming? Women gymnast are the most fit out of all athletes
Dude yeah
True, but women are judged on different standards. This is obvious that almost all female Olympic Gymnasts are 18 or younger. Men's limiting age is more in line with other Male professional athletes.
melaa_xo yes she probably did lmfaooo
@melaa_xo otherwise it would have been 'male gymnasts'
That’s not true some girl gymnast are athletic and fit more then male gymnast so don’t say they are the most fit people in the world
“When I was young people called me “fat” and it didn’t offend me until I found out it was suppose to” -Unknown
That's from a poem by Blythe Baird called When The Fat Girl Gets Skinny. I definitely recommend
Serena Throneburg thxxx
Khin Thwe OOF
By M. Lewinsky
Thats weird ive always seen being called fat as an insult
As a former gymnast, the body shaming coming from your own coaches and fellow gymnasts happens more often than people would think.
What people don’t tell you is that in order to have energy for your body to perform in optimal shape you need to eat properly, exercise responsibly and have a good sleeping habit.
I was too thin for my own good and couldn’t gain weight until way into my 20s and had severe iron deficiency both from genetics and not eating during my most intense training years.
She is pure muscle. People body shaming her have a very distorted image of what a professional gymnast should look like.
ON POINT !!!! NICE TRUTH > @ 3 months ago .
Undoubtedly like in ballet
It's really unfortunate that can be a beautiful wonderful artistic activity can create eating disorders. We desperately need more knowledgeable drs better nutritionists psysiologists that can train and treat eating disorders and reach fitness goals better.
Girl runner was a champion until she lost to much weight sometimes coaches are toxic. She had been a champion before using those coaches so just because a coach does not mean they know what is best for health or performance.
At what age did you start and restart gymnastics. Have you done level 3- flips? . What country did u train in please? I'm from England
When your body is able to do what Katelyn's is, I consider that a perfect body. In other words, when your body does what you need it to do and you are healthy and happy, your body is perfect. Every perfect body looks different, people!
YES and ALL HATERS at What she Has OR you Had , WILL HATE and DEGRADE YOU >> that IS the ROTTEN BASE CORE Greedy Human > NATURE OF the rat race >> BURN !!!!!!!!!!
@Global- -NG Some people are ugly inside and they should change their ways greatly. Sound like anyone you know?
Perfectly said👌🏼Her body is WOW! 🎊
I'm thin, but a very sickly young girl. I've been trying to tell people all along that your body can look perfect, but is NOT perfect!
Yes that’s how I look at it as well. I might be a few pounds overweight but I am healthy, never been sick and all my hormon and vitamine levels are perfect! 👏🏻
Her body is 100% PERFECT...it doesn’t get any better...
She's an excellent gymnast and the people that were saying some of the most cruel things about her are people that have no idea how difficult of a sport this is. Gymnastics is far more than being limber and being able to perform gymnastic stunts. Gymnastics involves the ability to control your mind and your emotions. A nervous gymnast is going to make errors and a tired hungry gymnast is going to make mistakes. This woman blossomed into a beautiful young woman and unless she was going to starve herself to continue to compete she did herself a huge favor by going to the NCAA.
She looks better then normal like that's horifing
@@montrelouisebohon-harris7023 I agree your so right...I think she’s so good she’s fascinating to watch it’s like art and everything she does on the floor is a masterpiece...Hope your keeping safe and protecting yourself from that virus
@Joshua Ikujuni , Thicc & I like it.
Gordon Muir true that’s so true
For all the people who call her fat:
SHES 👏🏻 NOT 👏🏻 FAT 👏🏻 THOSE 👏🏻 ARE 👏🏻 MUSCLES 👏🏻
She definitely snapped , that routine was on point start to finish , and she has body goals , body shaming??? They’re crazy !
I really wished this interview covered the part about Katelyn quitting and her UCLA coach is what turned her around!!! That woman cares about each of those girls as a human being first, and then a gymnast! The UCLA gymnastics coach is the epitome of what EVERY gymnastics coach should be! We love you Katelyn! ❤
Yes ma'am
That would be positive and main stream media does not any part of that story!!!
Ms. Val is the UCLA coach❤️
It's about the winning. Once those girls are done or injured bet the coach don't give them the time of day. Unless she wants u back as quick as possible to get them to perform again
Big Chesse damn that’s dark lol
This person doing the interview is so impressive. She is really listening and genuinely interested and caring.
I can’t stop staring at her shoes. They are AMAZING.
Oh what's wrong with her shoes? you're so meaaaan! :D
@@adrianoreyes2895 she's saying her shoes are nice
They are Michael Kors!
omg i thought i was the only one staring! they look so simple but idk i find them gorgeous lol i want a pair
I don't think they make them in size 13 so you can have them. 🙂
I’m not a gymnastics expert, but her floor routine, fitness, and strength truly moved me. She was totally in control throughout the routine, and best of all…she looked like she was having fun.
Shout out to the interviewer who was very respectful and let her tell the story and didnt cut her off
I don't quite understand the "but you don't look like a gymnast" comments. I've seen gymnasts with the more triangular shape - broad shoulders and narrower hips but I've also seen a good number of them with bodies more similar to hers. They all tend to have one thing in common, even if not structured the same - thickness (meaning muscle thickness) and she has that, obviously.
She definitely LOOKS like a gymnast. Wtf?
not so much in the past, though. look back through gymnasts of the past. very rare to see hips or visible fat at all. this is not to say that it's right, but it's certainly the way it was, and largely still is.
I think lay people are expecting to see the typical body types of ballet dancers and figure skaters...
@@johns783 ..... Visible fat ? Nice comment.... Why would anyone judge someone of the past to someone now? Plus almost all floor gymnasts have larger legs... They couldn't do what they do if they didn't have those hips and larger legs. Except of course the young teens they are always so thin they look like they would break a leg doing their routines....lol
Why are you reacting to my comment as if I were one of the body shamers? I don't care one bit how her body is formed. I'm trying to rationalize why anyone would do it. Not for the purpose of letting them off the hook, just for the thought process that would bring it about in the first place. I stand by that assessment.
@@johns783 They also weren't as good back then. Now because they have more muscle they are able to jump higher and do more.
I was an elite power tumbler/ gymnast and like Katelyn have a muscular build! I developed an eating disorder at at age 12 because my coach suggested I lose 5 lbs. when I was going through puberty! I have been in and out of hospitals for anorexia/ blulimia and still struggle with my body image at age 53 but am in therapy and am learning to love myself! God created each and every one of us how he wanted us! We have different shapes and sizes and We are ALL beautiful ! Embrace what you have! Katelyn is strong, fierce and gorgeous!
Her body is 10000/10 perfect and she is SO FREAKIN STRONG!!!
She is prefect
She's a beautiful young talented lady....she's a powerful inspiration to other young ladies....
Why only ladies? She is for everyone.
@@rishabmazumdar5635 damn straight
She is not talented, she is incredibly skilled and insanely good
Talent is an insult to anyone who put in hard work to learn
She's a powerful inspiration in other ways too...
Talented check, young check, Lady maybe, Beautiful ???????
Wtf.... her body is PERFECT !! 🤦♀️
You can see she's still very wounded when speaking about that awful body shaming. She's a true warrior and inspiring
Do you even know what a real warrior is? The wounds they inflict and suffer physically and mentally can not to be compared to an ucla gymnast.
Schnitzel Walther she/he meant it as a metaphor
No shit?
what are you some kind of philosopher to the people?
@@rigobertocastro3916 Ty! Not everyone understands obviously
She is Incredibly strong not only physically but mentally, emotionally as well.... I really admire her. She went from being at the top of sport at just 12 years old to the bottom due to injuries at the young age of 16.... but only temporarily! and she did it with class! She may have been down but never was she out!! Way to go Ohasi!
When Nastia gets upset that someone mentioned her father in her victim impact statement, but Katelyn Ohashi was literally coached by her father and we can easily figure out who bodyshamed her.....awkward
how is she body shamed I would kill to have a body like that she is in PERFECT shape
Edit: OMG thanks for all the likes
Edit 2:i also deal with body shame so I feel Katelyn's emotions going through this and if I had her body I would push anyone body shaming me down.
Callista Arts yea people only make fun of her because of her legs but im like that’s just great muscle!🙄🤦🏻♀️
women's bodies are policed....everywhere and in every sport...
what people who "body-shame" don't understand is that you have two things that effect how your body looks....your genetics and what you do with your body... her body is perfect for what she is doing with it...
BUT...because her thighs have the audacity to jiggle when force is acted upon them....trolls give her shit....
Yeah, I don't understand either... She's literraly at top of her class athlete, her body has been shaped through years of dedication, hard work and suffering... And people are body-shaming her because she doesn't meet their definition of "beautiful" ? These guys seriously need to f*ck off, she has an amazing body... And more importantly, she seems to be a genuinely amazing human being.
@DereMemo tell me your in better shape then her prove it then say that
@DereMemo it was a comeback im saying that its not ok to judge people
sorry ok?
I completely understand her it's the same in Ballet
Today's ballerinas are required to use weight training!
Yes. When I was 12, I began to 'devlop' up top. A LITTLE. I was strongly encouraged, as was my mother, to count every calorie and suddenly I was hyper aware of food (which I LOVE) and began a lifetime of worry about eating on and off. I am a NATURALLY TINY woman. Still, at aged 57, I just have a very delicate look...small bone structure.
I ended up quitting ballet altogether at aged 16. I was going to school full time, attending class 5 days a week. Something had to give. I chose to live a normal teenage life and never regretted it. My mom absolutely let ME decide. Years later she said my ballet instructor called her for months yelling at her, saying I was ruining my life 😂
I was captain of our drill/dance team, dating the hunky high school quarterback, partying every weekend (safely). I had a blast! It was the 80's!!! Time of my life....JS.
Even though my walls remained covered with posters of Mikhail Baryshnikov 😂😂😂
adults always take the fun out of things. any coach that would tell an athlete she looks like she ate a big should not be working with kids
Absolutely.
MOLON LABE r
These things are so rampant let alone to the elite athletes whose environment is so complicated. They are tied to a lot of things like coach relationship or their association’s likeability and not only in gymnastics if you notice back in the days before the nancy kerrigan and tonya harding incident, there are reports that US figure skating association prefer skaters with princess look alikepersona that means not muscular and very girly on the ice and who come from a good family background.
@@stanley052380 Yes, Surya Bonelli was ostracised and not scored well for similar reasons
@@zeefisher5292 you're sick!
As a coach myself if I ever heard another coach say something about one of my team eating anything at anytime I would slap them right in the mouth! We’re in these sports to be healthy and have fun. Why would they tell anyone putting their body through all this not to feed the muscles!? It makes me mad because they take the fun from these kids and even adults.
creep
@@babygnome215 pathetic!
ignore the weirdo- you sound like an amazing coach! keep it up!
Morning Star ✨ I think that you are doing an amazing job and with the right attitude ☺️ actually I would say that a good coach is there to motivate and encourage his/ her students at all the time and in any situation, instead of putting them down, so again, from my point of you are doing an amazing job and I highly encourage you to keep it up ☝️🙂 greetings from texas from a Mexican mojado 🤠🤠🤠
*point of view.
The point is she really looks happy. She doesn't look like the gymnasts you usually see in world championships. She doesn't look starving.
the thing is, she does look like the gymnastics you see in world championships now. fifteen, twenty years ago when people like nastia lukin and shawn johnson were dominate in the sport, she might not of had the same “ideal” body type, but now if you look at the girls currently at the olympic level and in contention for team USA like simone biles, jade carey, and jordan chiles, they all have strong legs and lots of muscle, much like ohashi
@@shannon81726 I prefer that but are the judges ready to jugde them by their skills.
@@shannon81726 Shawn Johnson's body type is more similar to Katelyn's than Nastia's
Mary Lou Retton was muscular like her.
"They body shame you?"
Minutes later...
"I heard it took you to a dark place for awhile, the body shaming."
Real genuine interview Kristine.
caído ?
@@7bibi89 is there a question?
what are you deaf as well?
sorry i dont like repeating myself
caído I totally caught that!! 🙄 so fake
Yeah, I see she brought that subject up a few times too much, and didn’t seem genuine at all. -_-
I remember watching her as a young elite when she trained under Valeri Liukin, she looked ever so unhappy
Not just her. Rebecca Bross looked the same way.
She looked super depressed it was so sad to see. Especially at 2013 AC.
Agreed... when I saw her life story video I was shocked. I think she was arguably a better gymnast back then but she was lifeless. Couldn’t believe this was the same person. I’m happy for her.
Vanessa Casey she didn’t look happy with Fong either. She must have left him for a reason
Lucy M. Watch her body issue interview. She did not want to be where she was at the time.She felt pressured to go into the Olympics but it wasn’t her heart... then she had an injury, was taken out of it. Then finally realized what she wanted to do and found joy in it.
She’s just as beautiful outside as she is on the inside! Beautiful girl! Peace and Blessings to all!
She has one of the strongest bodies in gymnastics. The way how anyone could body shame her is beyond me
It is GREAT to see her smile! She MORE than DESERVES it!!!!
Their right she doesn’t look like a gymnast... SHE LOOKS LIKE A FRICKEN GODESS👑👑💞💞yass queen yaaaassss 👸
thats because your gay, and are attracted to her, pls dont try and be over zealous, its not good for you
They are jelous she looks hot and is a great gymnastic.
Shes a GymNasty girl😄
Montgomery Dok
What is wrong with you?
Did you seriously just say yasss queen?
I'll be honest, this girl is extremely beautiful and has thee most perfect body..
I don't recall being that eloquent at 21 and a college senior.
Micheal Taylor she probably started college at 17 1 year early then she would be a senior
she majored in Gender Studies and writes poetry...it makes sense that she'd be that eloquent.
Cristina DeCisneros should be shamed for those majors..won’t get a job because they don’t exist and will want other people to foot the bill 😘
I LOVE that she's more confident in her body now. It's so refreshing to see an athlete doing amazing things with their body and look so cute doing it!!!
6:44 WTF?? Her coaches said that?? They should all be sacked, never to coach anywhere again.
Kaytlen you are amazing young lady. God bless you after you graduate and enjoy your life. Stay true to your self.
I'm so glad you kept doing what you love. You are an amazing gymnast and you are beautiful. There's nothing wrong with your body! Perfect
Katelyn graced the internet with that wonderful dance infused choreographic, gymnastic floor routine, which was second to none. Every time I have heard her since, she is a star for young people everywhere, and perhaps dare I say the future is open to do great things. If she went into politics she could charm the most entrenched polar opposites with that smile.
How could they possibly body shame her? She's got an amazing body.
Her floor routine had 34 million views when they filmed this.. it has 145 million views now
I'm a girl and I would pay to have legs like hers
Katelyn open ppl eyes about gymnastic inside and she managed to bring it to Perfect Fun level. Thank God she get it through and now become a star.
She was awesome. With a daughter that spent many years in Gymnastics, people generally don't really understand how much of a business these routines are. Exciting to hear her talk about the back-scene where all the decisions get made.
She’s so perfect and her routine was absolutely stunning. She is so incredibly gifted!
Her mind, body and energy are amazing!
I was taught at a young age how to make bread by my grandmother who suffered from extreme rheumatoid arthritis. Her hands were knarled but I always saw them as beautiful. The love she put into making bread for our family must have really hurt but she would just smile. I love her hands and the beauty she gave our family. Beauty is love and love is beauty given happily and joyfully. No matter what!. 🙏 Namaste
I am so glad I came across your comment. It jumpstarted a trip down memory lane about my grandmother. My grandmother was morbidly obese but I always thought she was beautiful and still do. I thought her arms were perfect because she could hug away any problem. They were engulfing, warm, and full of love.
She's a beautiful talented n poised woman! Inside n out :)
fatnsassy 99 absolutely.
She's healthy, happy and doesn't have anorexia or bulimia like some other athletes have which cause health and mental issues! She's an AMAZING GYMNAST!
She said she did have issues like that in the past, not eating and bringing up food. But she eventually got over it
@@portmoregirl thanks to therapy....
Anorexia or bulimia cause mental issues? They already are disorders. 🤨
So you just body shamed a group of people right?
Wow, this girl is absolutely amazing. If I could give two thumbs up for this video, I would
dont you have any thumbs on your hands?
Just discovered this young lady this week. I'm in awe. Love her
She is so candid and authentic. Truly a wonderful role model for young girls.
Body shaming ??? She looks AMAZING...
She is a 10 on and off the mat. A shining 🌟 ! 😎.
you should inspect her minge, your hair will stand on ends for a year
Many words come to mind when you see her perform.
For the life of me, I can't see the word "shame" being one of them.
Katelyn Ohashi: "There's no such thing as a perfect body." I beg to differ. Exhibit A: Katelyn Ohashi.
Great comment.
Katyln is an incredible blessing to gymnastics, she’s very beautiful and talented! God bless her!!!
she should write a book
I'd definitely buy
Body shaming this woman seriously? She pretty well has the best body I've ever seen. Believe me I would know. Gorgeous...plain and simple.
This young lady has something very very special. She performs movements on the gym floor that defy physics!
And not only that she's so humble! People don't have the right to criticise her or her body image. I bet 100 percent of those bad mouthing her couldn't even come close to performing the moves she can. So who's the idiots now?
There's great things In front of this youngster and I wish her all.ybe very best.
Wow what a legend!
She is amazing! Love her personality! Such a strong individual, stay strong.
How can you body shame that level of perfection? She is AWESOME!
her body is amazing its insane
*This woman is a powerhouse! Absolutely an extremely talented athlete...Congratulations!* 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wasn't her coach Valerie Liukin, Nastia Liukin's dad and former head coordinator of Women's Gymnastics briefly after Marta retired?
Asiacheetah her former teammate at GAGE said she remembered when Fong made the two of them wear weight belts etc.
Yeah her last elite coach was Valeri Liukin but she also trained at GAGE in Missouri with Al and Armine Fong.
Briana Gutfinski Ivana Hong was ignored, not trained (as an alternate for the freaking Olympics) and made to have teammates point her out and call her stupid after she insisted she go to a doctor against Al’s advice. She was lucky to be able to walk out of that place😢
E Long Fong was also Christy Henrich’s coach. She died due to complications from anorexica.
It's on that same couch that Nastia said that her father never bullied anyone
Did Mr. Luikin bully gymnasts??
Nastia’s dad never bullied her. That’s the only thing she knows.
Lizzie Brooks Fong made her and a teammate wear weight belts all the time
Al Fong killed 2 gymnasts. One of them from anorexia. Jmo
Alex Farrell Ivana said he didn’t coach her at all when she didn’t make the Olympic team. He completely ignored her and she has a fractured ankle at the time
Her laugh and smile is infectious makes me smile when she does it
creep
@@babygnome215 has no one ever had this effect on you in your life? How sad
4:40 As soon as she said that. I respect. She's someone at Maturity.
It is wonderful to hear her talk about the body shaming issues we have in our world right now and that people do not have to fit into everyone's idea of the perfect body and just be happy with yourself. I love watching her preform and I hope to continue to see her wonderful routine.
Katelyn I have SOOOO much respect for you!!!! You are BEAUTIFUL inside and out
How could someone body shame her? She’s so beautiful! ♥️
You have nothing to be ashamed of you earned every one of those muscles in your legs. You're an absolutely beautiful young lady. And your talent is just absolutely amazing. You've accomplished so much. don't let the trolls bother you honey they are just jealous.
I love the heart of this girl! Don't let others define you!
I adore her so much. Truly an amazing young woman, and a true talent in the gymnastic community
And Valeri is still going to deny this, even though everyone says it's true and multiple gymnasts have the same story.
Salacious B Crumb don’t forget Al Fong at Gage he singled her out to wear weight belts
@@Elong. what's a weight belt
Arthur Korff it’s a weighed belt used for resistance training. When you take off the belt it’s easier to leap/tumble.
@@Elong. thanks
Weight belts and ankle weights are often used on elite athletes training regimen, the purpose is to add weight so that when they do a leap for example they left from the ground stronger and with more power. My son a ms sprinter trains while pulling weights and using ankle weights to do conditioning and he has abs year round.
If she is fat then I am Godzilla's mom
i know u are.
Ya
And funny.
I like how she acts surprised when she says she was body shamed, but then says, "I heard that it kind of took you to a dark place" 😂 🤣
Exactly....I thought the same thing !! Like wtf lady !.... sounds like a journalist to me !
She is gorgeous and her body is the epitome of power and grace. Keep your head up young lady👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
She is so amazing!! Her routine always make me emotional, with tears in my eyes!! She is a perfect 10!!!
who body shamed her? I just want names? 🔪🔪🤔
I garuntee it was literally only other jealous women, that's it no guy would ever say anything negitive
Pitchforks and torches at half price first order is free......come and get them for the great witch hunt
As a mom, I remember patting my babies’ little round firm bottoms. Watching her I noticed her perfect, round, firm bottom. Sounds weird I know. Does her mom think back and see the same?
unfortunately there are external shamers, and internal ones. The internal ones are the most deadly and the most difficult to silence.
I believe one of her coaches was Valeri Luikin
She is perfect and beautiful, and what she can do in gymnastics is amazing. It's not realistic what the coaches wanted young girls to do at such a young age. So proud of you hun, of all that you have accomplished. Well done.
I was first called fat and told I needed to lose weight by my “friends” when I was 12. I was 5’6 and 108 pounds…..
Katelyn is amazing and I’m so happy for her that she’s turned things around for herself
Good job interviewing Katelyn; great questions!
One of my favorite top five female gymnasts of all time since I fell in love with gymnastics way before I learned how to flip in the early/mid 80's..❤👍👍
You should never be body shamed. You are perfect.
Depends
Yupzz She is Perfect on the way she is... and Her THICC ness is God work of Art
no such thing bud, maybe your just inexperienced with the female form
@Ruben Martinez well as long she is happy, worry free, lot of achievement.... thats perfect for me
Ruben Martinez are you slow? that’s called muscle you fucktard
Amazing young lady. Those body shamers couldn’t do a tenth of what she can do. Stay strong!!
I have watched the vid of her 2019 perfect 10 so many times. I love it! She always looks like she is having fun and she looks so relaxed. Love it!
She is so humble..she explained and gave others credit for the music--BUT the THING everyone is here for is her AMAZING performance.
Coaches were jealous at her raw talent. Shame on them. Let this diamond shine!
" it happens more in everywhere life" "workout untill I felt good enough to sleep"
These types of things are something we shouldn't be experiencing from a Young age it's sad,and it truly isn't spoken about but many athletes do have eating disorders we might look fine on the inside but there's so many things going on mentally and not alot of people understand.🗣️
Ashley Esparza My sister used to do 600 sit ups a day in high school because people body shamed her. She also took laxatives to try to lose weight. She’s built more like a linebacker and that was not an acceptable body type for women in the late 80’s. Fortunately our mom found out about the laxatives before she did too much damage, though she’s had a more sensitive digestive system since then. I love how strong my sister is. She moved a full sized fridge out of a second floor apartment by herself. It’s sickening how often strong women like my sister and Katelyn are body shamed because they’re not meant to be bean stalk thin.
oh I love this. Sport gets more and more about perfection but she seems to have fun as well. We shouldnt forget to enjoy what we do.
This is the example that parents should be showing their children. What a strong willed young lady.
She has garnered a lot of wisdom and she's so humble. Go girl, you made my day!
I always felt bad that she didn't get to go to the Olympics because of her injury. So glad about her comeback and her Espy win.
My gosh. She killed both floor routines. Shes super dope glad you got her on fairgame!
I wish I could be so confident.
Katelyn is fucking beautiful. Her body is goals and there’s also “no looking like a gymnast.” What the hell does that even mean?
Every real gymnast has a rockin’ body and Katelyn is one of them ❤️
I shall never forget you Katelyn Ohashi! Not for your amazing role as an excellant and unforgetable gymnist. When I hear your name I shall remember this interview. Your honest and forthright answers to the tough questions regarding body shaming. You gave such wonderful advice on how to overcome when people criticize us. This should be shown in every high school health class. What people say can have so much power if we don't having coping skills. Karen Carpenter died because of it! You truly are a SUPERSTAR!! Great interview by Kristine Leahy and also to the coaches who recognized and taught you how to harness your inner strength and embrace your beautiful body! Oh and GO UCLA! I took my training there in ultrasound!!
I love her for being strong enough to come out and say all of this. It's so powerful thank you katelyn
You are an amazing gymnast and a beautiful women. What you do in your routine is so amazing. Seeing videos of you when you were unhappy just made me cry. Good for you for overcoming those feelings. Girl, your happiness makes you shine! ❤️
Nothing wrong with that body! Great athlete too
You are absolutely gorgeous. I adore your routines! You’re really something special.
I'll bet for every negative comment, she's got 1000 praises!!! Here's one more... Katelyn... You are the Best!!!!!! I am not a sports or gymnastics guy, but greatness is greatness!!!
Katelyn....they don't get any better than you..
You float across the floor with precision and with such an engaging smile and you're one of the few that connects with your audience...never quit gymnastics!!!
