Sabrina Vega moonwalked her way to a career-high score on beam.
A tradition passed down among Georgia gymnasts, Vega is this year’s GymDog performing the moonwalk, a dance move made famous by the late pop star Michael Jackson. Like the gymnasts before her, Vega does her routine to Jackson’s 1983 hit song “Billie Jean.”
And when she slides into the moonwalk, it always draws a loud applause from the fans at Stegeman Coliseum.
Vega, who once again showed off her moonwalk in No. 15 Georgia’s 197.575-196.725 loss to No. 2 LSU, said it was a no-brainer to take on the move on beam when head coach Courtney Kupets Carter asked her to.
