If that bird can’t fly maybe it’s too young to learn to take time to make him/herself fly nothings wrong with a bird that can’t fly it’s just the matter of how it flies if it flies one way that doesn’t mean that it can’t Katelyn Ohashi is not a bird that can’t fly and she is not fat or she needs to learn is just how can she make this better and how will she make it better she will never know if she just starts listening to those comments in those ugly words that they’re saying to her she is nothing but a beautiful bird that can fly. I’m not sure where she got it from but I am one of her biggest fans and I’ve been a fan of her since I was let’s say five that’s when I was that’s when I remember I do not think that she is a bird that cannot fly I gave her all my heart and I love her please don’t Say that she can’t fly that she can’t do stuff she can I know that she has gone to the Olympics just because she’s competing in college does it mean that she can’t do incredible stuff

The average American woman is 5' 4" and 170 pounds. I read it used to be 5' 4" and 150 lbs a few years back. I would say for a young lady , there is no 'average' as different body builds have different weight, don't let scales rule you. Once you are an athlete, you get judged on weight gain, performance, it is all about the win.. if you don't win at state they brush you under the rug.. it is how you place in the entire nation that proves how hard you worked.

Fat? Those are muscles and most gymnast are built that way coz they train hard and build muscles... Not an ounce of fat in that...
people call that body fat now because of blindness of what beauty is, little do they now that's the natural body every women should have not fake thick ass, not big boobs, and pouty lips

To all the people who called her fat, you're just jealous that a fact she is a gymnastics that has a great body shape or you hate that she has a great reputation of being a gymnast.. And please don't call anyone "fat" or "skinny" because everyone has their own unique body shape.....🙃❤️
