Watch: UCLA Gymnast Sophina DeJesus Becomes Internet Sensation With Epic Floor Routine

Who knew gymnastics could be so much fun? It is definitely one energetic sport, especially for the rising internet star and UCLA Gymnast Sophina DeJesus, Us Weeklyreports. The publication reveals that the 21-year-old Temecula native is gaining a lot of attention for her modern dance moves in between her routine.

The news agency further shares just how DeJesus is a total performer for dancing "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" for her floor routine at the Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles last weekend. The performance, which was recorded on video and posted both on Facebook and Youtube has since gained millions of hits.

Receiving a score of 9.925 and tied for third place at the meet, DeJesus proved that being graceful didn't always eqaute to traditional movements. The New York Times says that the young gymnast, who performed in "Hip Hop Harry," has a knack for dancing too.

"I love dancing," DeJesus said about her revolutionary routine as quoted by the publication. "My sister Savannah is an awesome dancer. She helped me with the choreo and made it more fun."

The sociology major was obviously bringing so much delight in the audience and her teammates as seen on the video. She gave it her all to dance like she was just having fun but surprised everyone with her phenomenal jumps, tumbling and landings.

However, a question remains as to what judges might feel about breaking the tradition where gymnasts usually use ballet for their floor routine. Samantha Peszek, an Olympic silver medalist and a former UCLA teammate of DeJesus shed light on the matter as reported by the news agency.

"Commentators mostly talk about tumbling because it seems to be more impressive to an audience and it's easier to spot the deductions in landings, height and form," Peszek said as quoted by the news outlet. "It is a subjective sport with human judges, so it doesn't hurt."

Peszek further explains that unless the dance moves are sloppy or inappropriate, judges are expected to give high scores for the enthusiastic gymnast. However, the gymnast only limits such routines to the collegiate level as gymnastics in the Olympics may require a stricter routine.

As of press time, the Facebook video views for DeJesus' routine rose up to 25 million with more than 400,000 shares. The YouTube video is also gaining so much hits with more than 3 million views. The whole unorthodox routine of DeJesus can be viewed below.
