Katelyn Ohashi - 2011 Visa Championships - Beam

[MarchingBalletDancer]

I want to see this girl on top of the podium in Rio.

[AbbyTumbler13]

Will she be a senior in 2012?

[pqninamari]

oh onodis... how come you're not seen more often... sigh...

[jcbroadw]

Wow that's an amazing routine. I'm unsure if she can keep it up though, a growth spurt or an injury could be disastrous, but there's no denying how talented she is.

[shawnj2012bound]

Kind of reminds me of nastia (leaps and stuff) and Shawn ( tumbling) my opinion

Shes awesome!!

[erystl]

LOL who's floor routine is the theme song from Gremlins?!

[Elle23345]

She needs to be careful otherwise she's going to burn out.

[jacob2289]

un-be-lievable. i just can't fathom one gymnast having THAT much talent as a junior. sure she had a few wobbles in this performance but come senior-time she is undoubtedly going to be the one to beat

[BBBgYm]

@jacob2289 you obviously dont watch much gymnastics. every generation has a gymnast with that much talent. the skills keep getting harder, but the talent is always there.  Jordyn and Shawn were just like her a few years ago. Whats so unbelievable about it. Most elites are at their best at this age.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@jacob2289 Viktoria Komova was doing a flic-flac + flic-flac + Patterson off beam at 12. She also had a flic-flac + loso + Arabian on beam and a 1.5 + double Arabian on floor at the same time. She had many other great skills too. She has done a beam routine out of, I think, a 7.4 difficulty before. Not even Katelyn's hit that yet.

[Huskyowner2007]

I have to watch her perform more than once because she is beautiful to watch! Great performances from her. Best of luck for 2012 season! ^ ^

[1995Shanel]

WOGA gets all the great gymnaste

[bernardmvella]

Huge routine. Execution didn't deserve a 9.1 IMO, but such excellent work.

[losewitheloquence]

i think valeri needs to save her. if she keeps throwing routines out like this, she's gunna be burned out by 2016. u just cant hide from injuries in gymnastics. but aside from that, most talented gymnast ive seen in ages

[xrictinaaa1]

How can se be so talented? can't wait till she becomes a senior

[labsjoao]

This was much better than current seniors' routines. She is sick.

[aug183]

ohashi is japanese

[AshleighJaydeFleming]

omg, she is amazing! This is her as a junior! watch out world

[mooniecho21]

she is just like nastia, rebecca all threee from woga trained by nastia's dad. all missed their chance by one year. nastia for 2004,rebecca for 2008 and katelyn for 2012. all three are amazing at beam and bars.

[coconutmilkshakeXD]

A layout full?! AMAZING!

[mistersaintjohn]

what is the difficulty score for that routine?

[gymnasticsfan14]

@mistersaintjohn 17.000 read the description!

[LoveGym96]

Does she have japanese origins?

[ElleKatey1]

cant believe she's only 14!! seriously needs to be on the olympic team...oh well, 2016 for sure!

[goodyougetastar]

DAMN.

[itstheapocalypse]

Okay, I really hope she's this good when she's a senior. She'll be a real asset for the US.

[jperrizito]

She is young, Chinese and a great gymnast. Make her a fake passport and send her to London. If China can get away with it so can we, right?

[blondeappricot]

@jperrizito I think she's of Japanese descent.. Ohashi doesn't sound like a Chinese surname?

[nchllltmr]

@jperrizito is she chinese or japanese? ohashi sounds japanese to me

[yugandali]

@jperrizito Ohashi is a Japanese name, not Chinese. 大橋, big bridge, would be pronounced Da Chiao in Mandarin.

[coconutmilkshakeXD]

@jperrizito Isn't she japanese? Ohashi isn't a chinese name... and she's an american citizen so she doesn't need if "fake" passport I think... like nastia I guess... Nastia is russian but a us citizen.

[LemonSlushie96]

@coconutmilkshakeXD She would need a fake passport to declare her 16 instead of 15, the age she will be for the Olympics in 2012. You have to be 16 to compete in the olympics, which totally screws her:(

[HevensRath]

Does anyone else think that there should be less dancing in gymnastics and more gymnastics in gymnastics in gymnastics?

[doumora]

@HevensRath it's called ARTISTIC Gymnastics for a reason.

[tayyswiftlove]

pretty sure for nastia's bars valeri was like what's the hardest routine i can put together?! and then for katelyn's beam he thought the same thing...

[Appaddict01]

The BEST beam routine I have ever seen!!! Age rules suck!! That's the routine that should have won GOLD at worlds. It wouldn't even have been close. A 16.100 and I still think she was underscored. *Amazing*

[TheCruel]

I could probably walk the beam without falling off. Maybe...

[gymnast4eva11]

That is amazing someday i want to be just like her! 2016???

[EmilyAkinswimdiveUSA]

I think the age should be 15 the first day of the olympics. It should be for all seniors

[faeryquene]

E score 9.100? It should have been a 9.50! At least!

The age rule truly discriminates against those who are not born in the 'perfect' years for the Olympics. The should lose the age rule or modify it to accomodate truly gifted athletes like Katelin. Nadia would have never been allowed at the 1976 Olympics with such a stupid rule. And no glorious 'perfect 10.00's to vault the sport into the stratosphere.

[mariana4gymnastics]

she was amazing!!

[burntsunshine]

Such a travesty she won't even be eligible to compete as a senior until after London. This is why the age limit needs to be lower. She is the best gymnast in the entire world.

[gymmonkey4life]

is this human? even for a gymnast... god! unbelievable! 2016?

[jonnieb4eva]

How old is she?

[lexbee123]

@jonnieb4eva she is 14

[jomyel]

Unbelievable.

[shaijulia]

usa's hope for 2016.....

[kras118]

amazing!!

[feifus]

This is the reason why FIG needs to lower their stupid age restriction by one year - they'll catch so many talented gymnasts peaking at just the right age.

[dadvoc666]

nice!

[mor1896]

she is just amazing!

she is so young and so talented

i like her (:

[CamsGymnastics]

Very Good. I'm adding this channel to my fav gymnastics channels :)

[ILoveFinalFantasy99]

Where's her smile?

Did she lost it?

I don't know :(

[glittergurls233]

Incredible!!

[cwgcGymnast]

I think if the US did a team competition consisting of juniors Vs seniors it would be pretty damn close as to who would win?!

[jogalevel3]

OMG that was amazing!!!

[childoftheking1994]

Wow! How old is she?

[marushk161]

@childoftheking1994 14

[seanthefriendlywhale]

this is amazing a 16.1!!!!!!!! thats like unheard of with this scoring system

[siiimii]

Awesome :) Is there anyone who knows the name of the gymnast who is doing floor during this exercise? (Sorry about bad english)

[AsTessrid]

@siiimii

Arianna Guerra

[LOVxxE]

OMG AMAZING!!! I'm so so excited about her!

[cristinamariagirl]

this seriously BLOWS MY MIND.

[PoorPublicSchoolKid]

I wish she was old compete in London... This is Olympic gold medal material right here.

[FlippinTitan2010]

What would her D score be in the 2008 CoP?

[saqua608]

@FlippinTitan2010 a LOT more, they count less 2 less skills now than they did in 2008 (2 less) so probably about an extra .7 or .8 more. It makes shawn's old routine look kiddie.

[BethG996]

This kid is phenomenal!

[StelianaN]

Great routine ! Good luck in the future !

[MrsHoTong2]

Katelyn, You are amazing!!

[apluskel]

man, a 16.1? She'd kick komova's tush!

[faeryquene]

@apluskel On beam-but I think Komova still has the edge on vault (she can do an Amanar) and bars. Katelyn will hopefully upgrade at least on bars as the years progress.

[SilverDragon24]

16.1 on balance beam!!? That's like scoring 17.1 on the old CoD! Crazy

[abbielovesbeauty1]

now that is a beam routine

[hillbillysong143]

amaazing .  nuff said

[Susaluda]

Wow. That's all I have to say about that!

[UltimateBacon64]

Wow she's good! anyone know how old she is?

[gymnastjaiderz]

@UltimateBacon64 14??

[brdbarreira]

She's Junior just by a question of age, because her beam routine was A LOT better than every single Senior gymnast on the Nationals... including Shawn and Jordyn!

[Smielyb2000]

Amazing girl! Amazing routine! Only criticism is that she has a little shad of Nastia in her movements and thats not cute.

[iluvgymnastics663]

0:32 that was UNREAL. I've never seen that before.

[TayTayandZoee]

@iluvgymnastics663 lol i keep watchin it and im like "that...not..wait...wa..she..s­hes 14!!!" lol i was txting a friend in the middle and i saw that and im like "OMG!! THIS 14 YEAR OLD JUST LIKE. OMG. DUDE. OMGGG THis IS LIKE> WAT WAS THAT> THAT WAS INSANE!"...>.> sorry.

[MrsRonaldoWale]

she's great! & has a lot of potential. ! she reminds me of Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin

[Shingoyaho]

That is way too much extremely difficult moves! 2 Gs and an F...thats really crazy!

And the way she does beam has a distinctive air and quality than most American beamers. I like it! Just hope she can clean up her form, and it will be perfect! The Valdez reminds me of Shannon Miller :)

[julianamliu]

How is this routine even possible?

[jackmini]

Why did the put that lame full turn in there? She can do a beautiful full turn in split that would give her a 7.2 D score! haha

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@jackmini The Y 1/1 turn wouldn't actually give her a higher score because it is still rated lower than her other elements.

[dccarlos15]

Wow. All I can say is WOW! She can make the Worlds team as soon as she's of age!

[DJKiara88]

Fantastic!

[lizeylovesyou]

Talk about ridiculously talented! I really hope she can stay healthy and fit till 2016 :)

[RoboticGymnast]

She is the most amazing junior I have ever seen! Standing Arabian, Back with a full, it really doesn't get much better then that!

Katelyn Ohashi... 2016 AA Champion. :)

[gymnast0924]

I LOVE this girl! Everything from her toe point to her hand positions is exquisite. I am so glad she finally put it all together on this event. She is an incredible gymnast and I hope she sticks around for 2016 because I would love to see her at an Olympics Games. I am sure she would be received very well internationally! Not to mention, she seems like the sweetest girl who really enjoys doing gymnastics. Team Ohashi!

[bethiepoo]

Is she old enough for 2012 Olympics?

[peaceluvcheer97]

@bethiepoo Nope she has to wait until 2016, but she is definatly a future beam champion

[tracylyon73]

Her beam work is phenomenal

[runningswimqueen]

beautiful!!!

wow...

also loved the floor music in the background!

[liyaland]

So I am only a gymnastics watcher not competitor is it accurate that the junior and senior code of points are the same?

[JanaCarly]

The BEST...EVER!!!

[glibster]

Katelyn Ohashi is love. Valeri, please bubble wrap her until 2016!

[gamgeegirl87]

I am praying we get to see her at an olympic games!

[kiwigymnast16]

Amazing! 16.1 was a huge score in the OLD code. in the NEW code it's insane!

[MsBh490]

Yay! Glad she stuck the full twist! awsome routine

[olivialol64]

16.1 wow!

[gympje]

So great! Can't wait to see her develop into a senior!

[jimezm]

LOVE IT!!!

[LCAmarkymark]

She was freaking amazing...these juniors are doing some great things...seniors take notes for day 2.

[cyke90]

I love her connections. No pauses like some of the other gymnast. Although a very short pause is acceptable. The second pass with the full twist was awesome.

[moooooooooosique]

THAT WAS AMAZING!

[themajesticsailor]

THAT WAS AN AMMMAAAZING ROUTINE

[kakumei77]

Beautiful  routine! I also love the Gremlins theme playing towards the end! Who ever that is, is so cool!

[brdbarreira]

She's FANTASTIC! A routine of 7.0 D score. Never saw a Junior have a routine like this... 2016 AA Champion!

[kidskills]

Phenomenal difficulty and rapid pacing on delivery of sequences. Outstanding!

[stardust38]

havent seen another north of 15, let alone 16! very nice to see!

[abrahamnextel]

I had never seen a routine including standing arabian, full twist straight layout and a full twisting double piked dismount , all in the same exercise. Wow.

[musiclove6781]

Wow, this was an amazing routine.

[TwisterFlipp95]

This girls insane.

[missmouse35]

[Elemarth]

[agators212]

[GymnasticsFan1144]

Simply Amazing!

[TheBrookelizabeth21]
