UCLA’s Katelyn Ohashi’s perfect floor routine goes viral
Katelyn Ohashi, the NCAA reigning co-champion on floor, scored her fourth career perfect 10 on floor with her Michael Jackson- and family-inspired routine on Saturday, and it didn’t take long for word to spread.
Make sure to set a reminder to watch Monday's meet against Arizona State, and catch all eight UCLA gymnastics meets airing on Pac-12 Network this season.
As great as this video is of @katelyn_ohashi's perfect, it's next level when you see it in person! Don't miss the Bruins in Pauley Pavilion on Monday, Jan. 21 at 2pm.

The video amassed nearly 25 million views since the tweet on Saturday - a flashback to a different Michael Jackson routine Ohashi performed during the 2017-18 season that also took over the internet.

This viral performance marks UCLA’s fourth viral routine in just three seasons. Before Ohashi became an internet sensation, Sophina DeJesus took the world by storm with a routine that infused Hip Hop dances. Even Ellen DeGeneres took notice.
