UCLA's perfect 10 gymnast targets domestic violence, body shaming


(Reuters) - The UCLA gymnast whose flawless floor routine became a viral video with more than 40 million views by Thursday said she wants to work with domestic violence victims and publish poetry she's written about body shaming and other issues she faced.

Katelyn Ohashi, 21, of Seattle, a senior who nailed a perfect 10 at the 2019 Collegiate Challenge in Anaheim, California on Saturday, said she hoped her epic gymnastics routine - shared on social media by UCLA Gymnastics on Sunday - conveyed a message of "joy throughout gymnastics."
