What is perfection? The performance of 10 by gymnast Katelyn Ohashi

A perfect 10, one of those coveted and coveted at school, but also in gymnastics tests. A perfect and engaging performance, that of Katelyn Ohashi , whose name is not as enthusiastic as that of Simone Biles , but her exercise could surpass that of the multiple Olympic champion not only for spectacularity and for internet views. She writes in Sport Illustrated magazine that her performance is one that represents the true perfection of sport.
But it is also a 10 for its strength to never give up. Katelyn Ohashi, out of the world elite due to a shoulder injury sustained a few years ago, took 10 in this floor exercise in the Under Armor’s 2019 Collegiate Challenge. A 10 for the tenacity of this girl who did not want to leave gymnastics even though she can no longer compete internationally. Enrolled in UCLA (University of California), she has won the title of champion at the 2011 Visa Championship four times.

Her new performance is a bodyweight performance performed at the Collegiate Challenge Championships in Anaheim, California, in which the 21-year-old gymnast originally from Seattle managed to snatch the maximum possible score from the judges.

And to think that the young athlete, already considered a promise in her discipline, had long been away from the scene in recent years due to physical problems. Today all of this seems to be just a distant memory and thanks to her performance Katelyn is once again attracting general attention by revealing herself for what she is: a rising star of modern gymnastics.
In her one and a half minute long exercise, the girl’s skill, energy and enthusiasm managed to leave the audience and the jury breathless. It was a sequence of splits and overturns performed perfectly on a medley of soul and R’n’B music among which we also recognize well-known hits by Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5.
Another story, other stages, of course, but the performance of Ohashi and his 10 evoke in the minds of sports fans , the OTHER 10, that of Nadia Comaneci, the first athlete to receive the score for perfection at the Olympics .
It was July 18, 1976, the second day of the Olympic Games in Montreal, Canada and Nadia, a 14-year-old Romanian gymnast, was competing for the women’s final of the asymmetrical bars. At the time, the scoreboards did not provide a two-digit number before the comma that marks the tenths and hundredths, but only one digit: in essence it was possible to score a maximum of 9.99 and not a 10; a choice desired by the IOC itself, the International Olympic Committee, which excluded a possible score. A story destined to change.
