An impressive floor routine from last weekend is getting praise across the internet — and part of it is thanks to Beyonce’s music.
ESPN reported about UCLA gymnast Nia Dennis, who wowed people with her floor exercise at UCLA's dual meet against Utah on Sunday.
The icing on the cake?
It was Dennis’ 21st birthday.
Completing an impressive front layout to double tuck opening pass and sticking landings to instrumental versions of Beyonce’s solo and Destiny’s Child hits led Dennis to a 9.975 score.
Songs in the routine included “Lose My Breath,” “Crazy In Love” and “Ego,” all versions from Beyonce’s Coachella performance and accompanying “Homecoming” live album. To top it off, she placed her hands on her head at the end as if to resemble a crown.
The routine has been praised on Twitter by fans and the famous.
“I am overwhelmed with happiness and joy, thank you everyone for such positive messages, it means the world to me to have your support,” Dennis tweeted Friday. “This is so surreal i can’t even believe it! much love always.”
