@K Gehringer or, she did fantastically despite a lot of challenges

@K Gehringer I think I’d really enjoy watching people negatively critique you while you’re doing the exact same course.

@K Gehringer I find that there's two types of Marines. Those that are decent people that are able to acknowledge the challenges people face congratulate them for doing the best they can with what they have, and those who join the Marines to get a superiority complex. There is no in between.

She didn't nail it, lol

Finally, a comment that explains what happened. From what I know of gymnastics, I saw 0 reason for her to be struggling so much. However, retired and injured makes a big difference

Exactly

It’s all about technique. Being short is a massive disadvantage on this course but it’s still doable, and quickly. Reference being I’m 5’3.

@@austin8776 For her first run through, she did well. Im 5'1 and I can't even scale a 4ft fence.

@@celifacejones she did do pretty well for her first run through. I was just saying at this massive height disadvantage, it's still doable at a high speed, just harder and much more technique driven.

Another foot taller she would have passed. Not bad considering her height.

Not just a heart. Allow her to train this course for a while and she would crush it. She is Katelyn Ohashi, a former competitive super athlete. Neither of these two guys would be able to beat her once she had trained the course to her standard of perfection. She is such a gem !!! ❤❤❤

They wont can

Why?

The fact she couldn't do a 'college boy roll' blows my mind

The only and I mean only thing she has what they don't have height. I bet two more times practicing she would blow through it like hopscotch. When I was in college I saw a guy that was 5 foot 2 in. and couldn't do the ROTC course. After 2 or 3 times he was beating the cadets that were in the course for 2 years.

@@ivanmarquez4738 Oh yeah, she would have probably beaten them both on time if she was slightly taller.

E1han03 I think it’s cuz the bar was so thick

Yeah, but six inches taller and she wouldn't have been the gymnast she is. Height is a disadvantage in gymnastics.

She's also shorter than what these are built for.

Anyone hating got cheeto fingers sitting on the couch. They're just hating cus they're sad. 🤷‍♀️

no hating here, it’s a tough course no matter who you are

Only thing that got me was that she couldn’t do the pull over in the beginning. She was an Olympic gymnast who lost the ability to do a pull over? It’s literally the first thing they teach gymnasts. Not hating and I know this is just for fun, but that was disheartening.

She’s a grown woman. Why are you infantilizing her?

You can be short but still be good at parkour

KV flips, well, if you’re that small you probably won’t get into the marines, this is a reason. So height matters....

Yes. Also because of her body type she has more weight in the lower part of her body. So when the guys have to pull themselves up, they already have most of their weight over the obstacle, while she still has to lift it. E.g. the part with the elbows.

Yeah, not being to go into the ‘college boy roll’ with momentum is what killed her on that. They leveraged their forward momentum into that loop and she was doing it from a standing start because of the height issue.

Benjamin 5’0 former Marine here. I had no problem the taller females didn’t have. I’ve seen girls shorter then me accomplish the o-course with few problems. Please don’t discredit us shorties! The biggest problem is fear of falling/failing and of course the yelling.

Don't be dumb, that's impossible. Only a gymnast can compete in a gymnastics program.

@@europeanguy8773 and the male gymnasts are superior to the women...There are videos on this

It’s not that she’s short, it’s that she’s never trained in doing all that. If they gave her a week in practicing the course, she would be going through it in a breeze.

This is not a standard obstacle course. It was easier. In real life the men go through the obstacle course and women get helped through it. Women shouldn't be in the military for that reason. If they didn't get all the extra help they couldn't complete the course as individuals.

@@StingofTruth You may be somewhat right in physical competition, but I was in the Army and women competed alongside men. Yes, the standard was not equal, but each group was required to meet at least the lowest requirements. I don’t agree that not being able to keep up with men is a reason not to have women in the military.

@@lindadoyle525 if it isn't equal then nothing else should be equal. Women don't have to sign up for selective service, 80% of women in the military don't believe women should be allowed in active combat but should still be allowed to receive combat pay. Medical staff, yes. chaplains, yes. Jag, yes. Clerical roles, yes. Why? Because those receive training which are not gender bias or sensitive. In other words those are even in an egalitarian manner. Combat, physically strenuous roles, different story. If they can't do what their male counterparts do they need booted out. It's bad enough momma has control of the military now and has sissified the American soldier, but now the female soldiers are even more sissified. WW1 WW2 Vietnam Desert storm Iraqi freedom Those are the generations my family served in as far back as we can trace. The 2nd-3rd generations were real soldiers (we never knew the ww1 family member because he date raped my great gramma and my grandpa who served in ww2 european theater was the result of that but the ww1 vets i met as a child were on par with the ww2, korean,and nam soldiers I've met and served) even my oldest brother who was the desert storm generation was fairly comparable to the vietnam soldier. But the ones being turned out today are something else. We went from the best generation to the best of intentions generation in less than 100 years. But i digress... One standard, no help, no special treatment. Either pass or fail, no grading on a curve, no second chances. That's how it needs to be. That's how it was up until the 90's

How do you know what they do?

No, it',s not is she's a gymnast, actually is pretty poor...

Yeah she's a proper short arse

Yes, considering they have springboards to get up on the equipment and mats when you fall. Here she can walk under the things she's supposed to get on, ha. Would love to see Biles take this on.

Why? Because shes a little woman?

Her performance is really disappointing the fact that she's a gymnast and csnt do ONE pull up is just wow and just incase anybody feeling like bringing it up her height has little to do with outside of her not being able to reach the bar I've seen short people do crazy things height isnt an excuse

definitely for her first time, I'm sure if she went again she wouldn't even need a boost

Average height for an American woman is about 5'3". I was thinking the same thing that if she was only taller she would have had a better time on the course.

I'm only 5'0 so I can relate. I have to climb on the counter to reach the top kitchen shelf.

yeh she ran smack bang into her chest a few times with the running-climb parts, that's why she can't do all the elements of the obstacle course; plus she's probably not a trapeze artist so it's a little harder to swing about, especially with her height

@@chrisdavis2161 right! She’s a national treasure, that’s why they invited her in the first place.

More like the course killed her. If you stop after each obstacle you lose the momentum which is crucial to getting over the higher barriers and bars.

@lucaboden I meant the other activities. Swinging on bars or jumping on these bunny hops. In Gymnastics you 'need' to be small. On floor the tumbling area is 12×12m so very small but you need to fit a double layout salto in it (she does that at the beginning of the video) and the beam (her best event in the elite time, when she also beat Simone Biles) is as wide as a smartphone, so small feet help there too. Over all layouted skills are credited more so as a small person you don't have to tumble as high to do them. Rope climbing is a common exercise in Gymnastics but often without legs in a straddled (feet apart) or piked (feet together) (for both legs in a 90° angle and knees straight). In these activities she has a huge disadvantage because of her height. Also remember that she is out of real training for about a year. Swinging bars is about height. If you compare the gymnasts that won a medal on uneven bars you'll notice how most of them are quite tall. Thats because you really need to use the momentum your body gives you.

The Marines recruit more for track and field type of athletes than weight lifting meatheads.

There are body builders in the USMC, but they have to have strong cardio or they will be viewed as unfit ("unsat" using their term) to be a Marine.

@Alchemica Blackwood I'm sure Michelle meant she crushed it in regards to her height. She is half Austen's height. Imagine if everything was 2x higher when Austen had to do the course. To give you another example, imagine the course contained a tunnel you'd have to crawl through that was very narrow. It would be physically impossible for Austen to get through the tunnel due to his size. The fact that she was able to do what she did, on a course that isn't meant for short people, is incredible.

@Alchemica Blackwood In what way is Michelle dishonest?

​@Alchemica Blackwood Which dishonesty? I mean, the gymnast doesn't intend to get in the US. She wouldn't have pass the course if it was a test to get in there. But who cares? Give her a bit of training, let her get used to it and she won't need help anymore. She's just an amateur doing it for fun, chill out. Also sharing an opinion that is the same as a woman's one doesnt mean you're playing the white knight... Nor that you are "weak-minded"... What kind of mentality do you have??

As females YOU may indeed rely on your lower body strength, but Katelyn is a professional gymnast and you can't even imagine how strong your shoulders and core have to be to do a single press to handstand. And one thing that blowed my mind that she couldn't do a college boy roll (I'm not an English guy so I have no idea how it's called properly). I mean really? This exercise is the easiest thing you can do on a bar, its about basic core strength and a single pull up. And she can't do it? Idk looks really strange

@Alchemica Blackwood Well the gymnast *did* crush it! She is a strong woman who has two physical disadvantages: Her short height, and a previous injury.
