@@bradgotch I hope you both have a beautiful marriage, beautiful honeymoon, beautiful kids, then as soon as they're able to make words they become the most irritating fuckin living beings in the universe. Living in your house, endure the annoyance till one of you goes insane and eats the others face off.
She is badass! It brings tears to my eyes watching her. I just recently discovered what she's gone through mentally, and I cry even harder everytime I watch her. She's the greatest.
@@Toffee146 *WHISTLE BLOWS!!!* "Okay, everyone out of the pool! Someone's speaking a bit too casually over here! NO CHICKS OR DUDES, AND ONLY EXACT CHANGE WILL BE TOLERATED"
@@Toffee146 She calls herself a chick. My wife calls herself a chick. Not everyone is as strict about what they call themselves. You’re free to ignore it.
@X11 A She's the same height as I am, watching this just made my heart swell up with so much pride and joy for her. She's amazing, and someone I feel comfortable with my daughters looking up too! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PY-ZxTpS6Ao.html
@Blah blah Halb halb American superiority, bow down imbusal. We don't know your other languages, nor do we care. We'll let you waste your time like morons trying to learn 10 different ways to mean the same thing, you got nothing better to do with your time anyway 😂😂😂
What a great athlete and an artist. She has revolutionized the sport. Her unique style, creativity, and perseverance will never be forgotten. Love the performance. Love the person.
I could not hate that more. She is having her own moment and them taking the spotlight is so disrespectful. All I see is them behind her which in a minor way is just like giving away movie spoilers. I'm so shocked some people actually think this is acceptable. After all of the work spent on creating choreography not to MENTION rehearsing it only to have your entire team butcher it, ruining the surprise factor for the fans AND judges. Ugh I'm livid on her behalf. What if I showed up to your wedding and started reciting your vows with you, you know? Disgusting.
nigel mahabir you mad that somebody doing something positive for the younger generation while you here you post a negative comment good one sir! You make yourself look like an asshole mr Nigel 👏
I love that people have something like this to do but I urge parents that have kids in gymnastics to watch over their kids closely cause after hearing the majority of victims impact statements at Larry Nassar's trial and seeing the look of pain and sadness on their faces I don't want someone else's child going through something like that when this is something that can provide these kids with an additional way to pay for their college education.
I never get sick of watching this routine. I don't think I've ever enjoyed watching anyone as much as I enjoy watching Katelyn. She brings so much joy to her performance.
cant believe she was ever body shamed, she is beautiful, and has done some of the best routines everyone in the world has seen. Glad she fell in love with her sport again!
Dan find some friends......real ones....I'm pretty sure you have some already but commented this anyways but find some real friends....there is nothing wrong with liking yourself but don't make yourself your idol....that just leads to somewhere you don't want to go
Like I said before, she should be in the Olympic team for the USA. Forget the person, or persons body shaming you! They’re just jealous they can’t do what you can!! You’re awesome!!!!
No homo but she’s thicc in all the right places. All the body shaming she got when she was younger is just from haters. They have nothing on this gifted girl.
Abhirup Nayak it’s because she is a college gymnast not a professional elite gymnast who competes at world cups or olympics. She does college gymnastics for fun. College gymnastics doesn’t require a lot of difficulty and there isn’t much competition. She didn’t do elite due to injuries, and being body shamed, but she did what she enjoyed most.
Abhirup Nayak A lot of gymnast have to choose between the Olympics and university. And the Olympic gymnast culture is very unhealthy and abusive one which is why you see a lot more advanced gymnast choosing University
I might have to start watching gymnastics just for her, the energy she brings with her is so infectious, I felt myself wanting to dance through the screen
Just a heads up, it's a different style than what's in the Olympics. They're less focused on how many runs she does which is why she can dance more. The college level is definitely more fun to watch because of it
You are 100% correct I think it's finally the end of the error of sickeningly anorexic young 12 year old girls now it is time for a real woman in a real body to show what they can do great comet
Very few gymnasts have a body to die for, they’re usually very short and bulky. It’s one of the few sports where females actually have unattractive bodies. Powerful, yes, but very stocky builds.
@@MH-th4he There is nothing wrong with very slim and nothing wrong with a little weight. I'm not sure why you people can't see the sport but love to outlaw size?
Ok, I saw a bit of her story then found this video, and I felt the tears nearly falling while watching it, the way she's having fun and also getting the job done is amazing, I can't believe there's a bunch of asshats saying half sh*t about her, she's clearly happy, and also it sends you this vibe of how powerful and mighty she feels on the mat, tbh idk anything about gymnastics but I know about stop trying to be perfect on something so you can be happy, and this girl is doing what she loves in a healthy and safe environment, I mean, her teammates are having fun with her, supporting her and giving her all the good energy for her to get the routine done. People criticizing her and her body and her decisions can totally go to hell. I'm proud of Katelyn, and I wish I could find happiness in what I do, just like her.
UCLA has traditionally awesome floor routines - Miss Val is not only a choreographic genius but she has the perfect feeling for her gymnasts so their routines match their personalities - but this one particularly stands out and oh well Katelyn performed it to the perfection...i keep coming back to it and rewatching it...just can't get enough
1:00 this one move, standing up and standing for a few seconds using only her muscles... Gods. I can't even imagine how many strength it needs. I'm in awe. Ugh
The dedication and training to reach the level of skill required is astounding. But what I am so excited about is how much fun she has. And it's incredible.
Had the privilege of seeing her with Simone Biles in my hometown of Indianapolis. I didn't know she was in the show until her name was said. Completely made my year. I had read an article about how unhappy she was even though she was doing what she loved. I was glad that she got a new coach and eventually had a genuine smile again. 😊
What a great performance! Also props to whoever choreographed this routine! It's so fun to watch and it's clear that Katelyn is having fun performing it which just improves her performance that much more!
In case someone is interested in the songs: 0:11- 0:26 Dirty Diana (Bad, 1987) 0:26- 0:49 Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough (Off The Wall, 1979) 0:50- 1:15 In The Closet (Dangerous, 1991) 1:16- 1:31 The Way You Make Me Feel (Bad, 1987) 1:32- 1:34 Thriller (Thriller, 1982)
those were the days, huh? lol I can't believe that people dance as much now as they did then. I can't get over katelyn being the bouncy ball that she was lol wish I could do that. Great Job lol
I love most people don’t know. She had one of the most difficult beautiful beam routines ever. She could/should have been Olympic beam champ. She missed the age cut off in 2012. By 2014 injuries & terrible coaches ended her elite career. She’s the last person to defeat Simone. American Cup 2013. Her incredible beam, I think she was 13/14, crazy difficulty. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hyPjVXELCbQ.html
@@forestnymphconfessions3596 What are you talking about? Simone is approved by WADA to take doping drugs due to congenital disease. Don't you know about that ? Her place on the Paralympic Games is as handicapped. How can ordinary athletes compete with her on equal terms? By the way, I was very pleased to see in this video on which rise and popularity athletic competitions in the United States. Sorry for my English.
I don’t like the olympics routines as much tbh. Yeah the tumbling is more impressive but the dance elements are always so awkwardly done, same with beam
@@ericafraser4478 Glad I not the only one who thinks the dance routines in the Olympics look awkward, almost like they are in a hurry to finish them. But I know pretty much nothing about this sport so I won't judge the incredible athletes that attend the Olympics
@@franklinloll2229 Your just being mean There are several others on the team who weigh more then her I think people only complain like that to build up their own self confidence
@@franklinloll2229 With all due respect sir I also simply made an observation The awesome thing about America is We both can have our own opinion Have a nice day
Uh, has anyone made note of her exquisite taste in music across all her routines? She is phenomenal, and I hope she goes far. Olympics? Coaching? Tumbling for little kids? She’s a champion no matter what she does.
Wow, as a former gymnast, this is amazing, combining tricks, dancing, personality and musicality,,,,it is not just jumps and steps as so many do, this young woman is very well rounded in her training.
I absolutely LOVE her! 💎 It's a shame that she was bullied so much, that she felt the only way to escape, was to quit doing what she was absolutely amazing at! She could have possibly gotten to be better than Simone, but we'll sadly never know how far she could have gone... Better than ANY gymnast, EVER! ❤. That's my opinion! 🌟
THAT SPLIT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR ... WHAT !? INCREDIBLE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BETTER GYMNAST. AND I'VE BEEN WATCHING THEM FOR MANY MANY MOONS. YOU ARE SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL, KATELYN. GOD BLESS YOU DEAR. 💝
Это --- большой талант . Молодец. Артистичность, техника исполнения номера , сила воли, концентрация внимания.... в общем , мой поцелуй во все доступные места. Умница.
Her smile is so contagious and she gives me goosebumps every time I watch her routine, and I'm not even into gymnastics. She is so beautiful and inspiring, and I'm so glad she found her happy place, you can see it on her face.
I absolutely love watching her performances, so addicting and fun!!!! This is how sports should be, enjoyable and something that trains, but doesn't destroy and injure your body completely.
That is how special she is! Girl, do not ever forget it. You know, haters be wanting to knock you down, but you will survive. Focus on the people that love ya.
