“I’m like vertically challenged over here.” - Katelyn. Same girl same
*Kneels down to help you the way Austen initially helped Katelyn*
It’s so true though. She’s 4’8 - she literally couldn’t be a Marine if she wanted to. This course is short unfriendly!
She's short so it's hard for her to do most of the obstacles so I don't blame her
Same I’m 14 and am 5’0”
5'3 I do it at least once a year in them boots and Utes.
she is 4’10” doing this course that’s designed for people a whole foot taller than her 😭
4'10"... No i think she is closer to 3'10"
The obstacle is plainly designed for men.
If you think about it it's a perfect metaphor for todays patriarchal society
@@pedrogallegos9545 i hope feminists didnt read that :D LOOOLOLOLOL
why always talk about the physical, you believe that we choose as we are? No, then stop please to see only its in a person because you miss lots of buried qualities, .....
The fact that she's only 4'10" and completed this course designed for people much taller than herself just goes to show that she has a lot of heart!
yep, she rocked it
Not just a heart. Allow her to train this course for a while and she would crush it. She is Katelyn Ohashi, a former competitive super athlete. Neither of these two guys would be able to beat her once she had trained the course to her standard of perfection. She is such a gem !!! ❤❤❤
She didn't complete the course.sge needed a physical lift just to start it. A marine wouldn't have received any help.
@@Frank-sm9yl marine would be higher than 4.10
she was amazing
@@zziniop Why women aren't equal to men
This is amazing! This course was NOT made for someone as tiny as Katelyn and she did so well!
The minimum height requirement to join the military is 5’2”. She’s 4’10”, so obviously it’s gonna be so much harder for her compared to Austen and Josh since they’re both over 6 ft. She did amazing considering she’s been retired for a while and the fact that she’s never attempted this prior
This is actually incorrect. Minimum for females is 4'10 and for males it is 5'0. Just FYI.
Exactly she is tiny people forget that. She doesn’t meet the height requirements
@@sandrasalinas9787 Yes she does your just to dumb to listen
I did it my first time easy.
Most of us did.
Her height got in the way: otherwise she did a fantastic job!
That’s a lie. My sister is 4’11
"Please catch her if she falls. I don't have insurance." 😂👌🏼
Lol, gymnasts learn how to fall with minimum impact on their bodies
@@Ms.Opinionated Haha, I know. I just thought that part was really funny.
@@andreahenning8076 its all good
That was so funny
But like 4 mins later she drops on her butt because she couldn't reach 😂😂😂
"vertically challenged" but nailing it. If I'd be her dad, I'd be proud. Impressive 👍
She’s way too short for this challenge and she still did good,, she’s not a world class athlete for nothing!!
@@edwardranno7119 Just allow her to train this course until her usual standard of perfection and THEN challenge her... (Tip: don´t even think about it)

@@mas-udal-hassan9277 idiot 🙄
I love that Katelyn is (or was) such a top flight athlete and yet she has the humility to do something like this, well out of her comfort zone. Great job Katelyn.
I can't get over the fact that this was done cold, a retired athlete, half the height of those guys and weakened by back and shoulder injuries.. And she NAILED it. Kaitlin you're amazing.
@K Gehringer or, she did fantastically despite a lot of challenges
@K Gehringer I think I’d really enjoy watching people negatively critique you while you’re doing the exact same course.
@K Gehringer I find that there's two types of Marines. Those that are decent people that are able to acknowledge the challenges people face congratulate them for doing the best they can with what they have, and those who join the Marines to get a superiority complex. There is no in between.
She didn't nail it, lol
Finally, a comment that explains what happened. From what I know of gymnastics, I saw 0 reason for her to be struggling so much. However, retired and injured makes a big difference
Dude she's such a trooper man. Her only hinderance is her size and frankly she did better than i would do.
Same haha
Plamen Stoev no you wouldn’t buddy, stop the lies.
Plamen Stoev lmao nobody cares. do u want a trophy or something?
@Plamen Stoev you must the funny guy in party's xd
Why does my brain automatically plays the riff when I read "the trooper"
When she said “ hell no…I’m winded”…I literally took a breath for her…just love her & all that she accomplished ❤
it would have been so cool to see her do this when she was still actively training gymnastics. she was my favorite gymnast and i believe she was the last person to ever beat simone biles. i giggled when they asked her if she's ever climbed a rope before, gymnasts that were at her level climb those things daily with no legs. she was so humble and they were so sweet with her.
why ? she would have failed then too just like she did here.
She couldn't complete the course by herself without help
@jeffreyrichard2575 lol dude, chill. Your Richard is showing 😂
@@jeffreyrichard2575 Wow.... you are a ray of sunshine. What is your problem? Have you ever done something so physically taxing or do you just assume you could do it better? Seriously. Your attitude is sad.
she was humble because she knows she sucks.
@@jeffreyrichard2575mostly because she's literally 4'10
I don't think the people in the comments realize she's 4'10.
She didn't do poorly. She did an obstacle course made for men 5'8+ tall. She literally scaled a 6.5ft wall.
SHE'S 4'10.
That's insane.
Exactly
It’s all about technique. Being short is a massive disadvantage on this course but it’s still doable, and quickly. Reference being I’m 5’3.
@@austin8776 For her first run through, she did well. Im 5'1 and I can't even scale a 4ft fence.
@@celifacejones she did do pretty well for her first run through. I was just saying at this massive height disadvantage, it's still doable at a high speed, just harder and much more technique driven.
Another foot taller she would have passed. Not bad considering her height.
“Have you ever climbed a rope before?”
“I have. I was never good at it.”
*climbs up that thing like an absolute gazelle*
Right !
Definitely makes me re consider what I was never good at...😳😂
Ummmm.... that was actually rather slow.
She failed essentially every part of the course but yea, let's act like she was graceful and did not *clearly struggle* on ropes
@Jerrol Hale yeah. The gazelles do it all the time in middle school.
Katelyn is absolutely adorable. A fantastic gymnast, great athlete, just a little too short for the course. My brother went to Camp Lejune and Camp Pendleton while in the USMC and he confirmed “it’s not easy”
The gymnast Katelyn is worthy of praise. In spite of her short height compared to the Marine and not in regular practice of these kinds of hurdles, her extempore performance is really praiseworthy.
The guy struggling put her effort into perspective, she didn't actually struggle that much. Less than he did !
@@Songbirdstress she is a brilliant athlete.
Now, we need to see a marine do her competition program!
Balance beam
I can only imagine these guys doing her viral floor routine, complete with the dance moves.😆
that was a good idea
They wont can
Why?
The fact that she did so well being only 4’8 is amazing
4'10"
Didn't you see her gymnast routine ?
What's that in cm?
Oh, it's 147 cm, I googled it
@@brrrbrumbrrr 4'8" is 142cm and 4'10" is 147, so she's pretty tiny
#RESPECT
Incredible young lady ! I have been watching her work in gymnastics and I take my hat off for her. 🌹🌹
She is adorable and so strong
People commenting on how surprised they are at the men who are treating her kindly and with respect: This is normal behavior and demeanor. There is nothing amazing about it.
Exactly
Creepy right???
@@AD-sn5en yup 😂
idk...i think it kinda is
@Slytherin Manifesto That's really sad. Sometimes I wonder if things haven't changed for the worse.
She did amazing. I don’t think people realize how much height makes a difference. She killed it!
That's what I think too her height stopped her on that first one
amazing? not really.
Dominik O. Amazing for a person that’s literally 4’8
No she didn't.
She did horrible...she landed on her ass pretty hard.
I think it’s lovely to see their care and concern for her. Real men, protect women and care for their safety and wellbeing.
i respect her a lot , she doesn't care if she fall in front of people or in front of camera , she so cute girl and brave
Well, she trained gymnastics for years. Falling is par for the course.
It's actually adorable how concerned they are when this PROFESSIONAL GYMNAST falls 😂❤ they're so concerned about her cuz she's short, but she's like, "I got this, fam." 😂
I thought it was the sweetest thing 😭💕
@@MJ-xi8ry Such a Lib…
Well she has hurt herself seriously in her career 3 or 4 times requiring surgery... Half of the reason she retired..They really didn't want her to get hurt
Perfectly natural for a man to be concerned about the safety of a woman. We want to keep our females safe.
@@chrisdavis2161 right! She’s a national treasure, that’s why they invited her in the first place.
Her height was the toughest part. To her it's like everything is a foot or two higher.
You can be short but still be good at parkour
KV flips, well, if you’re that small you probably won’t get into the marines, this is a reason. So height matters....
Yes. Also because of her body type she has more weight in the lower part of her body. So when the guys have to pull themselves up, they already have most of their weight over the obstacle, while she still has to lift it. E.g. the part with the elbows.
Yeah, not being to go into the ‘college boy roll’ with momentum is what killed her on that. They leveraged their forward momentum into that loop and she was doing it from a standing start because of the height issue.
Benjamin 5’0 former Marine here. I had no problem the taller females didn’t have. I’ve seen girls shorter then me accomplish the o-course with few problems. Please don’t discredit us shorties! The biggest problem is fear of falling/failing and of course the yelling.
Katelyn you are fantastic. It takes Marines many times to do the obstacle course perfectly. They are exercised for days and even weeks. Many push up later some can do it. Look at the Marine you are working with he is a beast - monster. One of America's finest. Love seeing your new videos, keep them coming.
I love how she tried her best and had a great attitude about it
This feels like watching officer hops during training in zootopia
This needs more likes lol
Why is this not the top comment 😂
Lol, I just watched that. She is totally Judy--small yet determined. 👌🏼
So true XD
Lmao
I love how they treat her like their little sister and just want to protect her
@shy boy you're so gross
Not every guy thinks like that. As crazy as it seems, some dudes just see her as a little sister
Yep
@D Bo see that's why Joshes are sliding into your girls DMs as we speak
@Heenan Harley You know it’s not an actual test, right? It’s online entertainment.... she’s not actually trying to become a marine. She didn’t train for this, she didn’t go through boot camp-it’s for views and clicks on the internet. Relax a little 😂
Now, we need to see a marine do her competition program!. Such positive energy. She is the best!!.
Don't be dumb, that's impossible. Only a gymnast can compete in a gymnastics program.
@@europeanguy8773 and the male gymnasts are superior to the women...There are videos on this
Love her energy and determination 👊
Lots of people hating but shes literally retired... She's enjoying her life and did not train like this in the first place. She's clearly not here to get in the military. It's for fun.
She's also shorter than what these are built for.
Anyone hating got cheeto fingers sitting on the couch. They're just hating cus they're sad. 🤷♀️
no hating here, it’s a tough course no matter who you are
Only thing that got me was that she couldn’t do the pull over in the beginning. She was an Olympic gymnast who lost the ability to do a pull over? It’s literally the first thing they teach gymnasts. Not hating and I know this is just for fun, but that was disheartening.
@@ianstratton1629 well she’s had two torn shoulders and a spine surgery. All things considered, she did amazingly.
"I was never good at it tho"
Her: climbs to the top in 10 seconds
She used to do it without the use of her legs in training camps.
Gymnasts do ropes without legs. When she said that she was comparing herself to other gymnasts lol
@@kandragraham5769 ohhh, i'm not a gymnast so i didn't know. I mean i suck at climbing ropes. I once almost broke my ankle when i fell down a rope.
She just needs to the leverage! Those obstacles are super tall! She did so well!
She is such a warm cupcake! Totally love her cute smiles. These trainings are flat out crazy tough. Even with a short height she did fine!
I'm extremely impressed with Katelyn. If she was even 6 inches taller this would have been a walk in the park.
The fact she couldn't do a 'college boy roll' blows my mind
The only and I mean only thing she has what they don't have height. I bet two more times practicing she would blow through it like hopscotch.
When I was in college I saw a guy that was 5 foot 2 in. and couldn't do the ROTC course. After 2 or 3 times he was beating the cadets that were in the course for 2 years.
@@ivanmarquez4738 Oh yeah, she would have probably beaten them both on time if she was slightly taller.
E1han03 I think it’s cuz the bar was so thick
Yeah, but six inches taller and she wouldn't have been the gymnast she is. Height is a disadvantage in gymnastics.
Give the girl a break she’s only 4’9” she did amazing
It’s not that she’s short, it’s that she’s never trained in doing all that. If they gave her a week in practicing the course, she would be going through it in a breeze.
Wow, is she really
Mario Morua Brent did it and his friends
Absolutely!
Blazed Blocks I don’t know who they are. Whats the video link.
This was me at boot camp. Looking at the O-course going, "This was not made for short people like me." The easiest thing was the rope climb.
As a young Marine in the 60's I remember these obstacle courses week, she did a great job, they are not easy at all.
I just looked it up... She's 4'10". Definitely shorter than the typical marine! No wonder she's having trouble with the taller obstacles. Lol
which was why the military used to have a height requirement
@@budwiser5798 Marines still do, minimum is 4 ft 8 but uncommon to accept applications under 5 ft 2.
@Irianna Height requirements were the norm in the US until the PC police came into vogue and people started suing gotta love PC litigious America
Actually no, marines can be way shorter then that.
I'm only 5'0 so I can relate. I have to climb on the counter to reach the top kitchen shelf.
She’s such a trooper and Austin and the other guy are probably a couple of the nicest guys ever. Great vid!
Are you kidding me?? The smaller dude is easily a ego maniac...im pretty sure he is a psyhcopath.
@@MyTardisGoWhoosh So having some conficende makes you an egomaniac / psycopath? What kind of stupid crap is this? Lol
Well who wouldnt be? Especially when you are around a good looking girl.
A spaceship trooper
@@MyTardisGoWhoosh you tripping 😂
Such positive energy. She is the best!!🌹🏆🌷
I could do all these with minimum effort in my sleep! No seriously...in my sleep. Dreaming. You killed it !!!! Way to go!!!!🎉🎉🎉
"You are doing a bit better than James Charles"
Don't insult her like that 😂
She is literally the shortest height applicable for this obstacle course and she still got through it like a champ
With help from a man...
2 minutes maximum time she did it in 13 lol
@@yoinky 2 minutes? What kind of troglodyte Satan's spawn muscular lion beast of a human being can do this shit in 2 mins I'd be lucky to do it under 13 wtf and I'm 6ft what if they like 5'6 or smth
@@yoinky Did you watch the video? She did it in two and a half minutes. That might be a bit over the maximum but not even close to 13
David lo pan! I’d love to see a man of her height try it. Why do you have to ruin things?
What a lady. 11 out of 10 for guts.
I love her. She's so positive, no matter what.
Her only disadvantage in most obstacles was her height.
Her upper body strength isn't going to be in the same stratosphere as either of these guys. I was in the USMC in the 90s, and infantry training requires a lot of lifting heavy gear and upper body strength.
and i guess the marines got a good supply of roids
@@AKSBSU plus I don't think she specializes in bar...she has better leg strength and that's why she's able to so many high jumps in her floor routines
She’s 4’10
@@ascend3654 We were drug tested regularly back then, and it's probably more extensive now. I'm taking nothing away from her as a gymnast, BTW. I've also been into physical martial arts like judo and Brazilian jujitsu, and I could only do basic flips, rolls, and cartwheels related to training. She would make me look like a fool in her domain. I couldn't do 0.1% of what she can do in gymnastics. I'm just talking about pure upper body strength.
It was really cool of Captain America to give her a boost.
Captain America is on that Hollywood GH
😂😂😂😂
Lol XD
Seriously though, this guy was totally Chris Evan's stunt-double, right?
when in doubt boost it out
She is more amazing than i already thought that was impossible! But she did it i felt so inspired 🎉❤❤
Katelyn, wonderful Katelyn. God bless you.
She's so short, it's impressive how she slays obstacles that are generally ment for taller men.
Exactly. She did amazing for her height. She is really very strong

"Slays"?.... we watching the same video?
@@notgoing2lie yeah she failed
And she cheated on half of them
i'm a former french marine and i did that course with the americans just for the fun, this tiny cute girl did much better than most of the french marines in my company.
@@billybongthornton4285 well she's a gymnast so of course she's good at that kind of obstacle course. But marines are a fighting force, the bulk of their training is combat and shooting, and at that they crush anyone

She Was A Master In Gymnastics.
WELL DONE.
She’s a trooper to have such a good attitude during the course, if the Marie tried to do her routine, I bet he couldn’t get through the first round!
Austen has that captain america physique. Kaitlyn tho, she crushed it. this course looks fun
*sheds tear* thank you
I thought it was the actors for a moment lol

I can bet you Austen worked very hard to get that physique & good on him, Kaitlyn did very well on the course guess those gymnast skills did come handy... well done.
@@DespaceManI think you mean Josh worked hard to get that physique.
Holy cow given katelyn’s height & upper body disadvantage she did incredible. She has a very impressive vertical jump
yeh she ran smack bang into her chest a few times with the running-climb parts, that's why she can't do all the elements of the obstacle course; plus she's probably not a trapeze artist so it's a little harder to swing about, especially with her height
She's totally amazing! ❤
Not only is she an incredible athlete, and beautiful... she also has a very cute laugh!! What a charming young woman!!
In Katelyn's defense, these guys have practiced on this obstacle course many times, and she did great in the second round.
😂
This is not a standard obstacle course. It was easier.
In real life the men go through the obstacle course and women get helped through it. Women shouldn't be in the military for that reason. If they didn't get all the extra help they couldn't complete the course as individuals.
@@StingofTruth You may be somewhat right in physical competition, but I was in the Army and women competed alongside men. Yes, the standard was not equal, but each group was required to meet at least the lowest requirements. I don’t agree that not being able to keep up with men is a reason not to have women in the military.
@@lindadoyle525 if it isn't equal then nothing else should be equal. Women don't have to sign up for selective service, 80% of women in the military don't believe women should be allowed in active combat but should still be allowed to receive combat pay. Medical staff, yes. chaplains, yes. Jag, yes. Clerical roles, yes. Why? Because those receive training which are not gender bias or sensitive. In other words those are even in an egalitarian manner. Combat, physically strenuous roles, different story. If they can't do what their male counterparts do they need booted out. It's bad enough momma has control of the military now and has sissified the American soldier, but now the female soldiers are even more sissified.
WW1
WW2
Vietnam
Desert storm
Iraqi freedom
Those are the generations my family served in as far back as we can trace. The 2nd-3rd generations were real soldiers (we never knew the ww1 family member because he date raped my great gramma and my grandpa who served in ww2 european theater was the result of that but the ww1 vets i met as a child were on par with the ww2, korean,and nam soldiers I've met and served) even my oldest brother who was the desert storm generation was fairly comparable to the vietnam soldier. But the ones being turned out today are something else. We went from the best generation to the best of intentions generation in less than 100 years. But i digress...
One standard, no help, no special treatment. Either pass or fail, no grading on a curve, no second chances. That's how it needs to be. That's how it was up until the 90's
How do you know what they do?
bruh, she's 4''10. that's impressive considering the obstacles are created for folks who are much taller.
This inspired me to go park & try it out 😒 kids park first (vertical challenge)😏
I didn’t realize she was that short. She did great!
I wasn’t sure if these guys are enormous or she’s tiny lol now I know she’s tiny
The course is made for men, that's why the obstacles are so tall. Also, she has terrible arm strength.
I was looking in the comments for her height, goddamn she's pretty good. I have 7 inches on her and I can't even do the basic bits.
What a champion , and what a dear little person as well .❤❤
She's got a boatload of heart. I'm genuinely happy.
She's so tiny and cute. She made it look so easy for it being her first time. You know if she had a day to train for that, she'd KILL it!
So would my cat. My cat would piss it. Cute? Are you a lesbian?
You are tiny and cute too.

Her laugh is endearing, she was such a good sport. People wanna hate by saying she failed, etc. Uhm... you can email Austen to attempt the course yourself, let’s see how you execute.
Justine Chamelle shes such a geek
I enjoyed this so much. Hats off to Katelyn!! Great job! Bev in Maine
Katelyn will always be one of my TOP 5 Favorite Gymnasts !!!
Josh just standing there:

Ikrr
Bro for real haha
I feel like the country is safer just looking at em.
Lol right
Y’all are hella funny😂
That's seriously impressive considering the considerable disadvantage she has at her height. Well played.
No, it',s not is she's a gymnast, actually is pretty poor...
Yeah she's a proper short arse
Yes, considering they have springboards to get up on the equipment and mats when you fall. Here she can walk under the things she's supposed to get on, ha. Would love to see Biles take this on.
Why? Because shes a little woman?
Her performance is really disappointing the fact that she's a gymnast and csnt do ONE pull up is just wow and just incase anybody feeling like bringing it up her height has little to do with outside of her not being able to reach the bar I've seen short people do crazy things height isnt an excuse
You did exceptionally well 👏🏼.... be proud of yourself Katelyn ❤
She is fantastic!
"Please catch her if she falls. *I don't have insurance*"
*WHEEZE*
every time she fell or slipped he probably had the most intense rush of anxiety like oH NO!! I DONT HAVE!! INSURANCE!!
Insurance is expensive I can't afford that
Josh is incredibly nimble for a guy with arms the size of my thighs.
I like how Katelyn didn't leave the falls bother her. I know she was a high level competitive gymnast but everyone is a little uncoordinated doing something new for the first time. Also she had to jump a lot higher than Captain America and Black Panther.
The Marines recruit more for track and field type of athletes than weight lifting meatheads. You will not be viewed with respect as an athlete and even as a Marine in general if you fall out if a run or a "hump," a long march through tough terrain with heavy gear, even if you can bench press a car. There are body builders in the USMC, but they have to have strong cardio or they will be viewed as unfit ("unsat" using their term) to be a Marine.
Austen be nimble; Austen be quick. Austen jumped over the candlestick.

"I swear, at one point I did gymnastics"
I was just like yeah.. no 😂
The partying after college got to her.
@@roryismyname4611 but she did do gymnastics
@@firstimeshooter6590 she got injured, last I heard.
What was her problem with the second obstacle, once she reached the bar? She did more spectacular stuff on bars before...
She is one year out of real training. And she still kills it. Her height was an advantage in gymnastics. Now it's a disadvantage. Also notice how she automatically did the robe climb in a straddle before using her feet.
More like the course killed her. If you stop after each obstacle you lose the momentum which is crucial to getting over the higher barriers and bars.
@lucaboden I meant the other activities. Swinging on bars or jumping on these bunny hops. In Gymnastics you 'need' to be small. On floor the tumbling area is 12×12m so very small but you need to fit a double layout salto in it (she does that at the beginning of the video) and the beam (her best event in the elite time, when she also beat Simone Biles) is as wide as a smartphone, so small feet help there too. Over all layouted skills are credited more so as a small person you don't have to tumble as high to do them.
Rope climbing is a common exercise in Gymnastics but often without legs in a straddled (feet apart) or piked (feet together) (for both legs in a 90° angle and knees straight).
In these activities she has a huge disadvantage because of her height. Also remember that she is out of real training for about a year. Swinging bars is about height. If you compare the gymnasts that won a medal on uneven bars you'll notice how most of them are quite tall. Thats because you really need to use the momentum your body gives you.
@@jeffburnham6611 she's one year out of training and tiny compared to these obstacles. Cut her some slack
@@jeffburnham6611 you must be a lovely person
Great athlete. Great person.
Katelyn what a challenge,again you met it with vigor and strength. Bless you.
If she was average height she would have nailed this even more.
definitely for her first time, I'm sure if she went again she wouldn't even need a boost
Rob Ceriani PREACH IT!
Average height for an American woman is about 5'3". I was thinking the same thing that if she was only taller she would have had a better time on the course.
@@JennyA brb lemme just move to America real quick so I don't have to be the "short dude"
Jenny A it’s actually 5’6 I thought
"Have you ever climbed a rope?"
"I have but I was never good at it"

She's awesome
She's been doing gymnastics a long time. Her parents were extremely supportive and kind towards her. So we're the two guys in this video being encouraging towards her. Anyone who thinks their job is friggin easy is extremely delusional. They can handle challenges very well.
Rope climb wasn't fast at all and didn't look easy for her.
this girls is amazing
She did a great job with the course..👍 The Marine in this video is the perfect example of fitness and held back when he ran the course, . 😁
I just want to say as someone in the military who is 6’, getting over a wall that’s only slightly above my height is still a challenge. Doing it at her height is insane
Getting over poles like that is damn near impossible when they're that much taller than you too!! She has to start handing on them but they can jump straight into the locked elbows position!😂
@Charles Huang ah yes, because they can go through the little holes at the bottom like mice- no you idiot it's not easier LMAO
@@kalciumsthename weight is a factor, if you’re 100 lbs there isn’t much physical strength needed to pull yourself up than if you’re 180 lean.
@@aemontarg6934 I was talking about height, lol
@@kalciumsthename Charles Huang meant smaller as in less weight.
Katelyn: "is it a timed thing?"
Austen: " if you want it to be"
Katelyn: " oh, nah I'm good"
*Same girl, same*
That was freaking amazing! Her pull up strength is incredible. Josh’s biceps, I’m not sure how he got his shirt on over them 😉 ❤
Ela arrasouuuu, só não conseguiu alguns, devido a altura dela, mas foi fantástica, uma força incrível 👏
All the things that didn’t have to do with height, she aced. She’s just so tiny
I'm a little surprised that she couldn't do that initial college boy roll, though. I thought she would have aced that as a former gymnast.
why always talk about the physical, you believe that we choose as we are? No, then stop please to see only its in a person because you miss lots of buried qualities, .....
Geddo i think it’s because she was boosted so had no momentum. she ran up to most of the other ones
@@gedias1 same, definitely assumed she could pull her body weight more easily
@@gedias1 she does the floor stuff right though not the bars of doom
If everything was proportional to her height, she would wreck this course... she's an amazing athlete!
She can't even do a pullover, nothing proportional about that! Most non-overweight 5th grade kids can do that.
@Gavin Justen the course is proportional for a 5'10 man and shes only 4'10
many “ifs” in there...
@@abbeywilson6724 and the point is? Most women AREN’T 5’10” either.
@@ThisNoName I’d like to see you try
She was THE best gymnast in her day! No one was better!
She did amazing 👏🏽
“I’ve climbed the rope before, wasn’t good at it,” she says. Then she climbs it up and down so easily in a matter of seconds. 😂
When gymnasts do rope climbs they aren't allowed to use their feet they have to keep their legs in the L position.
🙄Anyone could do it. It just takes time
@@soapygirl83 That is a lie.
@@jenniferdana5665 No it's not. (Elite) gymnasts are used to do it with legs either in L or straddle position. You can see that's what Katelyn's automatic response was too.
Suzanne basically any team I climb rope in a straddle and L
Pretty impressive considering she's like 4'11 and doing a course designed for men who are at least around 5'10!
She’s 4’8!
Right, how tall is Austin anyways, he looks like a giant compared to her.
Ess Mac He was almost as tall as the wall he described as “six and a half feet” so probably 6’4-6’5

No way
Blah Oh god she’s my height!
Es inhumano el entrenamiento que le hacen y ella siempre con una sonrisa. Es maravillosa❤
Katelyn ist wirklich eine großartige Persönlichkeit! Eine tolle Frau.
She’s like the cutest thing to walk this earth, constant smile lol
Ur Mother is the cutest one kid
I'm pretty sure they have that smile beaten into them from a young age.
Lol yeah she's very cute n fun
Duuuuude....yup.
@@livetochange974 ok weaboo
I feel like i need to go to gym after seeing this
Mario Diamandis you NEED to go, stop slacking off man!
I was on my way to the gym but was hit by a glitch in the matrix. One second im in the car the next im standing in line with a bottle of vodka, some extra thick bacon and a pack of smokes.
That's a Fact!! 💯😂
😂
Go
She did an excellent job!! Very impressed!!
They make that look so easy. She has a great mental audited and superior strength for her size. If she was given a month to train on this obstacle the out come would be vastly different. She is obviously an astounding athletic and has my total respect! I think she would make a great US Marine.
OH! She should return the favor and invite her two instructors to train and preform a floor routine. I'd pay to see that....... Only fair right???
