Katelyn Ohashi, a 29-year-old former UCLA gymnast, announced Tuesday on Instagram that she will return to elite gymnastics. "After a few years of contemplating whether I wanted to continue chasing a dream I had as a little kid, I have decided to go for it," Ohashi wrote.
"I’m taking it one day at a time; one skill, one event, one dream. " Her post included a video of floor skills performed at Pacific Reign Gymnastics. The same audio track appeared in Serena Williams’ recent tennis-return announcement.
Gymnastics posted on its Instagram Story that Ohashi will compete Saturday at the American Classic in Minneapolis. Details beyond that event remain limited.
She later earned 11 perfect 10.0 scores at UCLA, won two 2019 ESPY Awards, and helped the Bruins capture the 2018 NCAA title. Ohashi last competed at the 2019 national championships and appeared in Biles’ "Gold Over America" tours in 2021 and 2024.
