The Internet’s favorite college gymnast, Sophina DeJesus, was on “The Ellen Degeneres Show” where she talked routine inspo, broken dreams and gave another great performance.

The show started with Ellen and DeJesus reminiscing over the first time DeJesus made an appearance on the show as a little girl.

Even then, DeJesus had some sick moves.

The college senior described what was going on in her mind when she put together her routine.

And, of course, she performed for the audience. There were jaw-dropping tumbling passes…
