When featured on The Ellen Degeneres Show, Nia explained, “We’re not allowed to use words and sounds in our floor routine so I figured if I wasn’t going to be able to say it, I wanted to do it in a different way.”
Nia Dennis’ unforgettable performance has been viewed over a million times online and many famous faces are weighing in, including Olympic gold medalist, Shawn Johnson.
Shawn told Insider, "I just love seeing the sport evolve that way to see girls and guys be able to take it to a new level and get more creative."
