Katelyn Ohashi's final college gymnastics routine is a stunner

UCLA gymnast Katelyn Ohashi concluded her collegiate gymnastics career Saturday with a near-perfect routine that enthralled Twitter as usual. Ohashi's floor routine went viral earlier in 2019, but Saturday marked her last competitive performance of college – and perhaps of her life.

Ohashi competed with the same combination that earned her viral fame in January (not her first viral routine or perfect 10). ESPN notes that she removed a Jackson Five song in light of the current conversation around Michael Jackson since HBO's Leaving Neverland.

All the talk of her successful career might feel premature for new Ohashi fans, but her most recent plan was to retire after this final performance. Ohashi has a history with the Olympics and had already planned to step away from the sport for good before college.

The performance earned Ohashi a 9.950 score out of 10 and congrats from U.S. Olympic gymnast Simone Biles (whom she competed against for the American Cup in 2013 – and won), among many more.
