Katelyn Ohashi (born April 12, 1997) is an American artistic gymnast who is the 2011 U.S. Junior National Champion in the all-around, balance beam, uneven bars and floor exercise.[1] She is a three-time member of the U.S. junior national women's gymnastics team.[2]
Ohashi currently trains with head coach Valeri Liukin at World Olympic Gymnastics Academy (WOGA) in Plano, Texas.[3]
Ohashi won the American Cup on March 2, 2013, her debut competition as a senior international elite.[4][5][6]
Junior career
2009
Earlier in her career, Ohashi trained with head coach Al Fong at Great American Gymnastics Express (GAGE) in Blue Springs, Missouri. She made her debut on the national gymnastics scene at the 2009 Junior Olympic Level 10 National Championships, where she placed first on floor, tied for second on bars, placed fourth all-around and tied for seventh on vault.[1]
Ohashi competed in her first elite meet at the 2009 CoverGirl Classic in Des Moines, Iowa, where she placed fourth on floor, tied for fifth on beam and placed ninth in the all-around of the junior division.
She qualified to the 2009 U.S. Junior National Championships in Dallas, Texas, where she won the silver medal on floor exercise, placed sixth on beam and finished 10th all-around. At the conclusion of the competition, she was named to the 2009-10 U.S. junior national gymnastics team.[7] Soon after 2009 Nationals, Ohashi made the move to Plano to train with Liukin at WOGA.
2010
In the junior division of the 2010 CoverGirl Classic in Chicago, Illinois, Ohashi won the silver medals in the all-around, bars, beam and floor. She also placed eighth on vault.[1]
During July's 2010 Junior National Championships in Hartford, Connecticut, Ohashi won the bars title, placed third all-around and tied for fourth on floor. She placed fifth on beam and seventh on vault.[1]
At the 2010 Bumbo Cup in Pretoria, South Africa, Ohashi captured the junior gold medals in the all-around, floor and vault, along with the junior silver medals on bars and beam.[1] She competed a standing Arabian on beam for the first time at the South African meet.[3]
2011
In Jesolo, Italy, at the junior division of the 2011 City of Jesolo Trophy, Ohashi earned a share of the U.S. team gold medal, and she won floor. She tied for second on uneven bars and placed third all-around. She placed fourth on beam and fifth on vault.[1] She also performed her back tuck dismount off bars for the first time at the meet, however she sadly fell and was eliminated.[8]
At the junior division of the 2011 CoverGirl Classic in Chicago, Illinois, Ohashi tied with Shawn Johnson and Chellsie Memmel for the last on uneven bars (14.0). She won the silver medal on beam (14.95) and no medal in the all-around (57.950), behind all-around gold medalist Ross and silver medalist Lexie Priessman. Ohashi also tied for fifth on vault with Kiana Winston (14.55).[9]
In the junior division of the 2011 U.S. National Championships in August, Ohashi took the lead in the first rotation on night one and maintained the lead through all eight rotations, winning the all-around title with a score of 120.95 for both nights. Ohashi bested defending champion Kyla Ross, who had a two-night score of 117.650.[10]
Ohashi captured the bars title (5.150) with skills that included an el-grip endo to straddled Jaeger,[10] a Gienger and a tucked double-double dismount.[11] Her winning beam routine featured a laid-out full, a standing Arabian, an Onodi, and a piked full in dismount. She became known for the extreme difficulty and clean execution of her skills on beam, one of the highest ranked beam routines with respect to difficulty in the whole world.[11] She was victorious on floor (30.050) with skills that included a pike full in and a two-and-a-half-twist to front full.[11] She performed a double-twisting Yurchenko on vault, finishing fourth on the event (29.700).[11]
2012
Senior career
2013
Ohashi placed first at the 2013 American Cup.[12] She and Simone Biles were named as replacements for Elizabeth Price and Kyla Ross, both of whom withdrew from the competition roster due to injuries.[13][14] Ohashi subsequently had shoulder surgery in April and did not compete in the Secret U.S. Classic or the P&G Championships.
