I remember waking up in the middle of the night to watch you, so glad that I did. Still so happy for you.
Me too! I remember hiding under a blanket because I was sharing a room with my little sister and didn’t want to wake her up!
Me too!!
My friends all thought I was crazy waking up at 3am to watch Olympic gymnastics. it was 1000% worth it
Me too!
Same 😂😂
Honestly, when it was announced that Simone was withdrawing from vault finals, I cried for both you and Simone. Then when you ended up second, I cried again.
What a way to finish up your elite gymnastics career!
This was my favourite part of the Olympics. Hands down! I cried more than I care to describe, haha
Omg same😭😂
I watched everything you did real time (no matter how early in the morning), and I remember all of the moments. I remember the trials, and I remember being so sad that you weren't on the group team, but so excited that you weren't an alternate again, and that you were going to be an Olympian. I remember watching the all around and being so proud of everything you did. I remember crying when you didn't make the vault finals, but being so proud of you for getting there in the first place. The anticipation when Simone was stepping down from things, and knowing that it was awful for her, but also knowing that you might get to be in the finals. So incredibly bittersweet. I screamed when it was announced, seeing you on that roster of girls, and knowing you had a good chance to medal. Watching the finals was amazing, the suspense was crazy watching everyone go after you and seeing their scores pop up. When it got to the end and you were in second, I screamed and cried so hard for you! I was so happy, and my whole family knew it (I had been cheering for you all season). I'm so proud of you, MyKayla, and your story is one for the books. I hope your life post-Olympics continues to be fruitful and happy and amazing. You deserve it 💕
"There's always gonna be good that comes from everything." Love that so so much, thank you for being an inspiration and light to us all
So happy for you!!
I remember waking up at four in the morning at my grandmas house and hiding under a blanket because I was sharing a room with my little sister and didn’t want to wake her up. As I was watching I was texting my other grandma who has woke up as well! Another memory I have of watching Mykayla is on the way down to the beach while Olympic Trials were happening and watching her compete in the restaurant we had stopped to get food at!
Would love to see a sit down with each of your coaches to talk about the experience of the trials and Olympics.
You and Simone sound like such good friends. Soooo sweet to hear how much you guys supported eachother. Well deserved that gorgeous silver medal!
Oooh this didn’t age well
What a great memory, it was so awesome waking up in the middle of the night to see this real time!!!!
Me too
What a way to close out an amazing career! Thank you for bringing us all along on your journey & sharing your accomplishments, as well as being vulnerable with your struggles. Also, I see those Olympic rings on your wrist...lookin' good!
Vault finals were emotional for a number of reasons. When my parents say "Im glad I was able to watch it live" now I understand what this means.
Well done Myk
Instantly burst into tears when you were side by side with Simone cheering you on!
Omg Mykayla i’m sobbing rn watching this they’re happy tears i love you so much so proud of you ❤️ i got up at 4 to watch you and it was the best feeling ever seeing you winning that medal ❤️❤️ Merry Christmas Myk!!
The Vault Medal Ceremony was posted by Olympics Gymnastics! It is at the end of the video “Women’s Vault Final | Tokyo Replays”
I was soooo happy for you! It was awesome! Great job! What a show of faith, resilience and perseverance.
Well said!
I made my husband stay up until like 3 or 4 in the morning with me so we could see your vault. I was soooo excited just to see you there even if you didn't place. I saw you up first and I cried so hard. I literally had to force myself to stop crying just so I could see the screen. I was and still am so proud!!!!
Omg I literally started crying! This is awesome! I’m so proud of you! This was amazing and I am so happy for you! Great job and so glad that you never gave up and you kept going! AMAZING JOB MYKAYLA!!!
I remember when this all happened and it has always brought me to tears! So proud of you mykayla!
Every time I watch one of your videos it is so evident that gymnastics wasn’t just a dream for you but rather a calling. It was fate that brought you to the spirt and you let it guide and shape you into the superior gymnast that you’ve become. Your story is particularly unique and is one that will stay with many people and will be a source of motivation and inspiration for a long, long time. I know that writing a book is somewhat cliche these days as everyone seems to put one out but your story is worth writing and reading. Congratulations gurl, YOU DID IT!!
I woke up at 3am for every competition and this was special because we had someone from our country competing for the first time. The whole thing was so emotional, you, Jade, Simone cheering, anyway, congratulations! 👏
I remember watching you and literally was the most excited I've ever been! I cried and jumped up and down and was literally so excited! You were the one Myk that I was rooting for this whole time because I knew how hard you had worked and how much you deserved this!! Love you soooo much!!!
So proud of you and your journey. I followed your journey, and I was sad when I thought you had to go home, and sooooo happy when you made the vault finals. You are a special athlete! Your story is AMAZING!
Started crying when you did… stayed up to watch you win that medal live and so glad I did! I cried when you won too. It felt like your journey was finally complete and I was devastated for you when you didn’t make finals so when you actually got placed on vault finals due to Simone withdrawing from the event felt very very bittersweet I can’t imagine how that must have felt for you. Having come full circle and being able to witness it has been amazing! Thanks girl for being amazing and sharing your journey with us.
MyKayla, you are the embodiment of resilience, passion, and joy. Congratulations on your wonderful achievements and I'm looking forward to what you do next! ❤️🤍💙
I remember reading your Instagram posting talking about your disappointment in the fact you didn't make any finals and how you were proud of yourself but it was a bittersweet ending to your career. When I heard a few days later you were getting one last opportunity I seriously started jumping for joy. And when you won a medal, omg I could not be happier for you! What a crazy swing of emotions! Proud of you!
Thank you for continuing your videos. This has really inspired me to never give up even tho I’m terrified of starting university in September. I have thought about giving up gymnastics but I feel inspired to continue with it how ever hard it gets. Congrats on your team and individual medals
Wow MyKayla, this video, especially your words at the end are so inspirational, they are exactly what I needed to hear right now. You are such a beautiful person inside and out and no one deserved that metal more than you! I can’t wait to see what is in store for you and Jonas in the future because I will be here watching and cheering you on. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday! ❤️
You’re so inspiring, the definition of perseverance! Love you lots 💕 Merry Christmas and Happy late birthday Myk !
This sport has not been kind to you MyKayla...it's thrown some mean punches at you, but you persisted and showed gymnastics who's boss! You're an inspiration to me and so many others
To be fair I think they have been really unnecessary harsh on her. I know she has an attitude but most of the time I agree with her
i was genuinely happy to finally see you thrive, you worked so hard and deserved it for so long! love you myk❤️
Congratulations once again. Your story is unbelievable. The epitome of bravery and perseverance.
I think a cool video would be you talking about behind the scenes like what happened at the olympics. Like how you felt after qualifications & then exactly how y’all found out about what Simone was going thru & when you realized you’d have to go in & what your thoughts & emotions were like in that moment. Idk that’s interesting to me at least. 🤷🏼♀️ lol yeah I lost a lot of sleep thru that Olympics 😂🤣 so proud of you!! ❤️🤍💙
Yeah same that would be cool to find out
We are on the east coast and also set a 2am alarm-just for you! Jeffrey and I have watched you through the years and you are an extraordinary example of strength and perseverance and an amazing example to not only young ladies in gymnastics, but for everyone who has a dream-and as you said, stick with it and your dreams can come true. On behalf of our country, we thank you for bringing home the medal while we all learned a great life lesson from you. We are huge fans and so excited to see what comes next in you and Jonas’ lives. That medal is amazing-but your best is yet to come! Lots of love and gratitude for you, Mykayla! 🥰🇺🇸
You are so inspiring and I will always remember watching that moment you competed in Vault finals! We are all so happy for you☺️
Thank you so much for sharing your medal and experience with us. All the hard work and pure determination behind that medal brings tears to my eyes. I've always wondering what Olympic gymnasts truly go through and I got a tiny glimpse from your story, and it's so powerful. God bless y'all and your new adventures!
saw you at Olympic trials, watched you during the Olympics and saw you on tour!! your journey has been so inspiring in making me continue to pursue my dreams even when the road gets rocky! Super excited for all the videos to come on this channel!!
That video made me cry too, I’m so proud of how you achieved your dream through all the hardships you’ve gone through in the last two years, and I kind of feel like you all achieved what you needed to. You all got a medal and even though Simone had to pull out of most of the finals I feel like you’re all stronger for the experience.
You earned it and carry the message of humility with such grace! Congrats again :) it’s been such an inspiration watching your journey to victory. You’re such a champion! 🙏💕
This was my favorite part of the Olympics. Watching you (in my opinion) get robbed in 2016 and then come back with a vengeance left me in tears at 4am. Congratulations Myk!!
Also for soreness, eat lots of protein!! I found that it helps me be less sore after I do a hard run
I to feel like she was robbed in 2016, 100%😭😭😭but at least she kicked Tokyo in the butt!👏👏👏
Yay! This is the video everyone has been wanting since you started your channel! Congratulations on achieving your big goal! I've loved watching the journey.
i’ve never really followed the olympics, but this year i had covid and i watched a lot of it. i watched a lot of youtube too, and in that period i met you. i watched all your videos in a few days and followed that final knowing your story and cheering for you. it was so exciting and meaningful seeing you win after all the pain, the courage and the commitment. i hope you are living your best life! love u ✨
I'm crying and I got goosebumps watching this😭😭😭I'm so proud of you Myk!❤❤ Congratulations again Myk👏👏👏
Cried so much watching the edit video. What a journey it's been, so so proud of you Myk! The strength and determination you had all these years is an inspiration to many and cheering you on was a pleasure. Biggest congrats to you for everything you've done during your elite career and can't wait to see what's next
Thanks for taking us on your whole journey! It is a close to the Olympics as I will ever come! I appreciate all of your efforts to share your hard times and your triumphs! Congrats on living your dream!
it has been a pleasure to be able to follow your journey and see all your hard work pay off. I cried tons for you. So happy how it all turned out!
I'm so happy for your MyKayla that i cried watching this video too. I have to tell you a story. During prelims i was watching you compete and asked the universe how your Olympics would play out and i got a vision of you jumping up and down in a hotel room holding a silver medal. When i saw you crying after vault in prelims knowing that you didn't make the finals, i knew the Olympics were not over for you. You were going to get a silver medal and it seems certain to me without knowing how this would happen. When you were standing at the of the runway in vault finals ready for your first vault i knew this was it for you, you were going to take the silver medal. I've held off writing this story in the comments for months cause i'm lazy, but finally had to tell you. So happy for you and congratulations.
Myk!! I thought I’d shed all my tears during your Olympic experience, but I was wrong! This made me sob all over again 😢 I don’t know you, I’m from Scotland so I’ll probably never get to meet you, but your courage and your experience touched me from across the globe and I was so invested in your dream. You are seriously amazing and your tenacity still inspires me through my own tough times ❤️ much love to you and Jonas ❤️❤️
Me too. I woke up to cheer for you. Your journey was enormously inspirational. Thank you for sharing it with us. Congratulations on your win!
What a journey you’ve had. I can’t wait to show this video to my future children some day. So inspiring.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful memory and your journey. I was so happy to see you win your Olympic medal. Hope you are enjoying your well deserve time off♥️.
You are an inspiration to so many young gymnasts like me
You did it and I are an inspiration for all the girls who are training and working towards their dreams that perseverance and patience really do work! Congratulations and thank you for sharing your journey with all of us!
I was so proud of you and very impressed by your performances leading up to the games. You are absolutely inspirational
I am so proud of you! You are true inspiration and example of what happens when you never give up
I remember getting up at 3am to watch you compete live. I told myself I wasn’t going to miss her after all these years of pain she had put herself through. I was so happy to see you medal! So deserving. Love your story. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
You have given me and certainly thousands of fans, the biggest and most special moment of this games. DO NEVER forget how victorious and inspiring you were , have been and still are! Lots of love to you and your family! x
Always here supporting you lovely!! So proud of you and what you accomplished. I will never give up; thanks to you
Woke up in the middle of the night to see you and like everyone else cried my eyes out after yelling so loud and cheering when you won watching you compete was my favorite Olympic moment of all time
I remember waking up at 3 or 4 in the morning to watch you compete! Just you alone. I woke up late so I turned the tv on to your moment of receiving your Silver medal! I remember just crying my eyes out. Thank you for being such an example to everyone to never give up no matter what!!! ♥️
Watching you during qualifications & getting bumped was devastating. It makes your medal so special. A true life lesson-never give up.
I remember waking up in the middle of the night and being sooooooo nervous for you! And then, when you won the silver, I was crying and trying not to wake up my kid, who was sleeping next to me. I'm crying again watching this video. So proud of you, Myk! ❤
Great and inspiring video! You’re an amazing athlete and have an enormous support system. I loved the incredible motivational words u spoke at the end too. What an incredible journey. Happy Holidays!🎄
So proud of you Myk. I stayed up all night waiting for the results of vault finals and I am glad that your journey of perseverance ended with an olympic medal. You earned it. I can not wait to see where life takes you next.
i needed to hear that last part! thank you! and congratulations again.
It was so special to watch your whole journey over the past year and then to watch you win a medal… I cried and my husband did not understand lol you’re amazing!!
So so SO proud of you! You KILLED IT! You're such a great role model for everyone!
I was holding my breath watching you and they cheering loudly. Simone’s support for you made me cry. I was devastated for Jade but at least they’re changing the 30 second warm up rule now.
Sobbing at that edit, so proud of you Mykayla! You've come so far!! 🤍
I woke up at like 3am to watch live! I was watching with baited breath hoping for a medal, and that you did. I'm so happy for you and proud of you. I've been watching since 2016 Olympic Trials and knew you were robbed of being on that team! Now you have accomplished it all! Love you!
you earned your victory Mckayla, so proud of you for pushing through. I wish you all the best in whatever plans in the future that you may have ❤️❤️
What an awesome video to remember such a huge moment of your life. Proud of you and your years of hard work to get to that highest level and then medal!🙏🏼💪🏼
Such a beautiful message at the end Myk. Love you 2!! ❤️
I watched you kill it live on TV. What a success. So cute seeing you reacting ❤️❤️❤️ lots of love and merry Christmas
I remember rooting for you so loudly I probably ticked off my neighbors! So happy and proud of you. You killed it!
I was so proud of you mky! Your should an icon and idol for me seeing you in the Olympics I was so happy for you! You finally got your well deserved moment!😥😢☺️
Myk, you being able to hold that medal is good enough for us. It isn't ours. Your hard work an determination to keep trying earned you that medal. We couldn't be prouder of the six of you!
This was an UNFORGETTABLE Olympic moment ... for so many reasons. I totally cried too! I was at home thinking, "Why am I crying??!" But I totally did. Really inspiring to see your journey since 2016 and all that you did in between and getting the Silver in 2021. Watching Simone be so happy for you too - and what her journey meant for others - and how she was genuinely so happy for you - it felt like a bigger plan was happening for a higher purpose.
Ah yeah woman!
MyKayla this moment was so exciting for all of us to watch. I kept saying “I hope she didn’t go home.” When Simone pulled out of team finals. I felt you would get that chance to do vault. I didn’t wake up to watch, but I said I wouldn’t look to see how you and Jade did before watching it. But I failed miserably. My heart broke into a billion pieces for Jade but I was so excited for you. Heck, I was excited for Rebecca getting a medal too. So many emotions in the finals for vault. Be proud of how your career ended. You made the Olympic team and you are an OLYMPIC MEDALIST!!! Thank you for sharing your journey.
i was up in the middle of the night to watch you do this !! this is moments we dream of and it happened to you :')
G'day, having followed your journey for so long, I was (secretly) pleased with the result of all your hard work. Don't know if I should say that coming from another country but hey, all good efforts must be recognized!! Well done and now time to relax and enjoy the fruits of all your hard work. Thanks also to Jonas for taking us along for the ride! I look forward to watching your future journey..
I could not watch this video without crying in the end, I hate crying too ;) You have had a great career, MyKayla, I wish you all the best for the next steps of the journey !
I cried my eyes out watching you win silver. So happy for you! Your dedication to the sport is so admirable.
So proud of you Mykayla! The video made me cry too! xxx
Congratulations again! All your hard work led you to your success and honor!
Cried when I watched it happen, crying again now. So proud of you!
Congratulations. It was sooo awesome watching you compete in the Olympics and watching your videos leading up to the Olympics.
Congratulations again and always know you are amazing
I love how you say your vaults were "pretty good". You're so humble! You are an Olympic silver medallist! "Pretty good" is the under statement of the year! You rock girl!
I've been waiting for this video since I watched you compete live! I got up at 3 am to watch and was excited for you!! This was a great vlog and I'm excited to see what the next chapter brings for you and Jonas!
I was scrolling through You-tube, one day , bored. I happend to come across your channel. Now first I have yo tell I you that i have been a fan of gymnastics and the olympics since i was 5 years old. I evern remeber watching Mary Lue Rettin in the '84 olympics. Yeah way back then, anyways i came across your channel right as you werre going through explaining who you were and why you were doing the channel. I subscribed after that episode and have followed you all the way since. Seeing your practices then your meets uo to olympic trials was true admiration for you, Mykala. I once was told I
I was a role model for the next generation from a different sort but when I watched you and seen you go through what you went through and made it through to the Olympics trials, I was proud of you. When they didnt put you on the team, i was upset because of how they didnt follow the proper scoring way. But you still made it and i was even more proud. I then was working and on the front page i seen your big smile and holding up your silver medal and i thought " TRULY WELL DESERVED!!" Your story will be shared by many people on the same journey. Its an amazing story for the Olympics to share as well. Your story and your achievements makes that silver a gold no matter how anyone wants to look at it. And you will always be refered to as an Olympic medal champion. So proud of you Mykala. job well done. Gives me butterflys and makes me teary eyes to watch the playbacks with you. You are one of Americas finest athletes and sports heros Thank you for letting me go on the journey with you. You will always be in my heart especially during the OLYMPICS TELL JONUS GOOD JOB ON THE EDITING.v
Thank you! So fun reliving this with you! Congratulations! 🍾🎉🎈 ❤️
you're such an inspiration myk. we love you
I don't think I ever cheered so hard for anyone! I was so freaking happy for you 😊
Honestly IM CRYING… so I could only imagine how emotional this video was for you!
Damn, the way they put that video together! They knew they would get the tears! I’m SO happy you got on the team and your chance for an individual title! YOU DESERVE IT!!! 💕
What would have made this even more special is if the arena were jam packed with people shouting and cheering!
Well done to you, MyKayla, for ending a successful career with an Olympic medal. Yours. Forever. Because of a life of sacrifice, commitment, endurance, dedication, passion, pain, bravery, belief, and giving up on pigging out on pizza! You deserve this. Your family deserves this. Jonas deserves this. Y’all are awesome!
Thank-you for sharing your experiences and beautiful gift with us. Thank-you for not giving up. Enjoyed watching makes us feel connected.
