3. Her Career in Gymnastics

She started training with an eye of being a professional at the encouragement of her parents when she was only twelve years old at the Great American Gymnastics Express(GAGE). That same year she joined, she made her debut at the 2009 Junior Olympic National Championships finishing first on floor exercise. The next year, she competed at the National Championships and won the bars title, placed third in the all-around and tied for fourth on floor.

In 2011, she helped the U.S. win the City of Jesolo Trophy and won an individual gold medal on floor. This was a year of domination for her as she was able to successfully get one accomplishment after another. In an international meet the next year, she would win five gold medals at the 2012 Pacific Rim Championships.

Moving on to 2013, she won that year’s American Cup but ended up with a shoulder injury that needed surgery. That would be a big blow to her career as it wiped out all the momentum that she was carrying and also was unable to perform for the rest of the year.

She has been a part of the UCLA Bruins gymnastics team since 2015 and has had several improvements if we are to jumpstart to today.

Brazilian gymnast Flavia Lopes Saraiva is only 4’4” tall. Just to let it know Aly Raisman who is 5 feet 2 inches is one of the tallest female gymnasts on Team USA. Comparing with the height of all those pros, Katelyn height of 5 feet 1 inch doesn’t make her look short now.

5. Katelyn also runs a blog where she writes about body image and health issue topics.

Ohashi has a WordPress site called Behind the Madness alongside her classmate and friend named Maria Caire. The focus of the site is based upon “the various body-image issues athletes endure.” She has also faced some criticisms in terms of her body-image as an athlete and is empowered enough to be able to raise a perspective upon it. She encourages readers to focus more on what you believe in rather than being the football of other people’s opinions.
