Katelyn Ohashi wrote a poem called Fame that ends “Not everyone’s destiny is going to be the same. Set your own goals and make your own fame.”
As the 22-year old UCLA senior gets ready to compete for the final time at the NCAA championships, she has lived up to her own words with a trio of viral floor routines that have given her an audience outside the world of gymnastics and a platform to speak out on issues of empowerment. The meet begins Friday in Fort Worth, Texas.
