UCLA gymnast Katelyn Ohashi pulls Michael Jackson music from viral floor routine



UCLA gymnast Katelyn Ohashi has pulled Michael Jackson’s music and dance moves from her floor routine following the release of HBO's documentary “Leaving Neverland.”

Ohashi’s perfect-10 routine went viral earlier this year, earning praise from 2020 candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and others. But she decided to change the music following the documentary, which details child molestation allegations against the dead pop star.

“The goal of my routine is pure joy, and after the documentary, not everyone was feeling that way, and you can never discredit someone's feelings,” she told ESPN.

Ohashi debuted her new routine over the weekend, which features music from only female artists, including Beyoncé and Tina Turner, whose music was in the gymnast’s old routine.
