Ohashi began the routine with a big smile and a swing of her hips before launching into a ridiculous tumbling pass that she punctuated by sticking the landing.
Neither the routine nor Ohashi's energy dipped from there.
She danced around and hit her marks with grace, and as her minute and a half of glory reached its end, spectators and teammates erupted with cheers.

The stunning performance helped lead the Bruins to a Collegiate Challenge victory and quickly went viral on social media, with many big names weighing in on Ohashi's brilliance.
The upbeat performance was striking in more ways than one for the 21-year-old Seattle native, who had teamed up with The Players' Tribune in August to detail her decision to stop pursuing her Olympic ambitions and instead compete at the collegiate level.
"There was a time where I was on top of the world, an Olympic hopeful," Ohashi said . "I was unbeatable until I wasn't."
Ohashi competed at an elite level alongside Simone Biles not long ago, but the wear of gymnastics had both physical and emotional ramifications she had torn both shoulders, fractured her back, and lost her love of the sport before deciding to forgo her Olympics dreams and take her talents to UCLA.
"I was broken," Ohashi said.
Now, Ohashi is performing joyful routines and dominating the field as the Bruins' premier talent. Saturday's showing marks the sixth time in her collegiate career that she's earned perfect marks, and the fourth time she's done so on the floor.
Ohashi seems rather content with all that she's accomplished in her gymnastics career, barring one small detail.
