UCLA gymnast Katelyn Ohashi wowed the crowd and earned herself a perfect score during the Collegiate Challenge on Saturday.
In a floor routine that had the audience and team members up on their feet, Ohashi danced and tumbled to choreography that for many was reminiscent of the King of Pop, Micheal Jackson.
It's been a long road for Ohashi, who has had multiple surgeries and battled with eating disorders in in the past. She finally made the decision to walk away from elite gymnastics and focus on a collegiate route.
She shared her thoughts in an Instagram post saying:
"College gymnastics is the reward we receive after years of abuse. it's the time of discovery, healing, learning, growing, and having the time of our lives"
Now it seems she is back and better than ever, loving what she is doing.
This isn't the first time the spirit of Jackson has inspired the athlete. Last year she wowed with this routine.
