Trivia
In 2019, Katelyn, along with Myles Garrett, Brooks Koepka, and Liz Cambage, was featured in ESPN’s Body Issue.
She has her own blog, ”Behind the Madness.”
During her career as a gymnast, she became a victim of body-shaming. During a 2018 interview, Katelyn confessed:
“I had a horrible relationship with food and didn’t really understand why I was supposed to hate it, but I loved it so much at the same time.”
She has a rare skin condition, granuloma annulare (a rash that looks like a ring of small pink or skin-colored bumps). The former gymnast explained: ”It covers my entire body. Some look like bruises; some are complete circles.”
Her hobbies include going to the beach, working with homeless shelters, shopping, photography, poetry, and writing.
She supported California’s Fair Pay to Play Act, a bill signed in 2019, but only goes into effect in 2023. The bill permits college athletes to be paid for endorsements. Ohashi said: ”It’s about empowering student-athletes to rightfully earn off their individual name.”
