The video has received over 40 million views and continues to go viral on social media.

Watch Katelyn Ohashi's performance that has gone viral:

Talking about mindblowing performance, she told ABC News, "Every time I get on the floor, that’s always been my favourite part of gymnastics, and being there with my team and my coach and being able to see them dancing with me, it just feels like home." She also said that as a gymnast she faced body shaming issues but she didn't let that decide her future. Her low times also inspired her to write a poem on self-hatred.

Here is the poem:

Katelyn is currently NCAA co-champion in floor exercises and was also a 2018 NCAA team champion. She has had tough times with shoulder and back injury, comments on her weight and self-issues as a teenager. In a blog post in August 2017, Ohashi wrote, "I've been told I looked like I swallowed an elephant or a pig, whichever was more fitting that day. I was compared to a bird that was too fat to lift itself off the ground." However, now, her routine which her coach Valorie Kondos Field calls "ridiculously hard" has garnered her a lot of praises.
