Read in-depth coverage on Viral Gymnast Katelyn Ohashi Dishes on Post-Collegiate Career (Exclusive).

Before becoming a household name as a UCLA Bruin, Katelyn competed at an elite gymnastics level before injuring her back and deciding to retire in 2013. The athlete told us that at the time, she had "lost the joy" in the sport, but her passion was revived when she went to college.

Ultimately, her success as a college athlete taught her that "there's not one definition of success." She added: "Everyone has their own path."

"I never would have expected all the things that happened to happen. And so here I am having the opportunity to partner with IHOP and so many other amazing companies," she continued. "And so I think it's it's really cool that all this has happened from literally college gymnastics."

Though she no longer competes, that hasn't stopped Katelyn from flipping around, telling us, "I still really love it and enjoy it."
