UCLA gymnastics team posts its top score of the season to win back-to-back Pac-12 championships
Skinner, the two-time all-around conference champion, sought to defend her title. Ross aimed to continue the momentum she built all season — the seven straight weeks with a 10 that vaulted her to be the nation’s top-ranked all-around gymnast.“I love the example that she not just gives our athletes, but gives to everyone that watches her,” Kondos Field said. “That it’s OK not to be perfect. … She’s what sport is all about, is get your ego out of it and just do the best you can in the moment.
It came down to floor, to the routine that gave Ross joy in dancing, and in floor. In character as a bandit stealing 10s, Ross held true to the theme of her routine, grinning after each stunt, each solid landing.Ohashi performed last, debuting her new floor routine that is a salute to women, with music from Tina Turner and Janet Jackson too.
With her old routine, Ohashi won the floor title in every meet she competed in this season, earning five 10s. She was named Pac-12 specialist of the year for her efforts, with a renown that has followed her to every arena she has competed in.With dance moves that channeled Beyoncé, and the all-encompassing smile that has become a staple of Ohashi’s gymnastics, she elevated her performance to even greater heights.It was her first time doing her new routine with her tumbling passes.
That approach made Saturday the calmest Ohashi has been in a competition, and what guided the Bruins to success. “What we saw today was there was a heightened focus on what they wanted to accomplish,” Kondos Field said. “And that was joyful because they worked hard.”The best, most interesting and strangest stories of the day from the L.A. sports scene and beyond.
