Strut, Spin, Wipe the Sweat: Margzetta Frazier Hit Every Beat in Her Janet Jackson Floor Routine

We can't stop, won't stop watching every NCAA gymnastics floor routine [1] that hits the internet (every. single. one.), and we've been waiting for Margzetta Frazier's since the start of the season. The UCLA star captured our hearts back in 2019 with a voguing-inspired routine [2], then hit the floor in 2020 with a flashy performance [3] set to soul artists like James Brown. Now a junior, Frazier's newest routine features some Janet Jackson [4] classics, and we can't decide what we love more: her jaw-dropping tumbling or the on-the-beat precision of her dance moves. Let's call it a tie.

What we love about Frazier's choreography is that it pays homage to Jackson, a trailblazing performer in her own right, while adding Frazier's own flair and twist. She included snippets of Jackson's iconic choreography for "Nasty [5]" and "If [6]" in between high-flying twists, flips, and tumbles. And of course, we have to mention our favourite transition: Frazier sticking her second tumbling pass, then wiping the sweat off her forehead like, "Yep, just did that." We're not even surprised that she scored a 9.925 [7], less than one-tenth away from a perfect 10! Watch the full routine above and prepare to be seriously impressed.
