UCLA gymnast Sophia DeJesus goes viral after hitting the whip and nae nae during routine

Move over Cam Newton and Odell Beckham Jr. There's a new dancer in town.

Many athletes, mostly football players, dance after doing something particularly awesome, i.e. scoring a touchdown or getting a sack. But all of that has nothing on the awesomeness of UCLA gymnast Sophina DeJesus exhibited during her floor routine on Saturday. While hitting all the flips and tricks you could hope for, she also worked in some the cool dance moves kids are doing these days, like the whip and the nae nae. Yes, I realize how old I sound.

The videos have gone viral.
