Can’t wait to see you 😍
Can’t wait too see u
I'll be praying for ya. You will do great. I want you to make the Olympic team so freakin bad. You deserve it and you are super good.
Wow! So much progress... building of endurance... and perfecting your routines. Your bar routine & your splits on beam were amazing... I was holding my breath watching your floor passes, you make those difficult tumbling sequences seem so easy... It is all so exciting 💓 Good Luck at Championships! Will watch (even thought about driving from Colorado to Texas to see you/the Competition)...
Wish you luck
You’re so ready for that triple in floor
I feel like she should keep the triple and ditch the Moors. It’s not worth the deductions a DLO would be better.
You’ll honestly probably get less deductions on the triple because you normally take a 3 tenth step out of the 2.5
That “my body hurts” at the start is probably the most relatable thing said... ever
just a day in the life
IKR I FELT THAT
That's me everyday on vault
Can confirm this as a gymnast. Your body hurts before you finish conditioning at the start of practice lol. Especially when you are "old". I'm the same age as McKayla and still doing this even though I'm not good enough to compete. I think all gymnasts must be insane at some level to enjoy a sport that is so hard and makes your body hurt all the time. Even when you finish doing gymnastics, almost all of us are left with injuries, scars, surgeries, arthritis etc. that will hurt for probably a long time after we retire. It's just too fun to be able to have such control over your body and be able to do cool skills most people can't do.
@@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial My first comment didn't tag you- can you read it and confirm that we are insane doing gymnastics at 24 and your body hurts every day- or is it just me? Maybe I'm weak because I can't do the super hard tricks you can do and I still am so sore and probably keep the KT Tape company alive solely. If you see this- can you please tell me or make a video about the different injuries/pains/surgeries you've had/have and what you have found is best for pain relief, muscle soreness and recovery? That would be a super helpful video. Us old folks need extra help- I already have arthritis in my wrist, back and knee. Could you make a video on how you find the energy to keep going? Some days I'm so fatigued from training, I miss practice. Would love to see a what I eat and drink in a day video, if you use foam rollers, get massages, acupuncture- how often. Anything you've tried even if it didn't work. I'm intrigued by the treatment you got for your foot with the platelet injection and then that machine that made you want to scream- did they make a big difference? Do you see a regular PT or a PT that specializes in athletes? I'm wondering if that might be more helpful. Please tell me all your secrets. Maybe a full week in my life video of how many times a day you get treatments, what you eat etc. I'll be in Ft. Worth cheering you on! Do you know if we are allowed to meet you guys? I would LOVE to have a chat with you or a pic.
I just wanted to say thank you. For those who have never witnessed what chasing a dream is like... this is it. Raw. It comes down to pushing on those days that you just want to lay in bed, eat chips, and watch Netflix. When your body is hurting and you’re tired, but you still train. That’s how you get better. Thank you Mykayla and Jonas for sharing these updates because not many people have the courage or motivation to chase a dream, so now we get to witness first hand what it takes.
❤️❤️❤️
THANK YOU for keeping those legs mostly together on your Van Leeuwen. I might have screamed, YES a little loudly while watching :) BUT PLEASE, Legs together on the giant before the dismount. These leg separations are a tenth a piece if you keep your legs together, bye bye deductions. I know who the hell am I but I really want you on this team and I just want to help. THE LAST ONE LOOKED AMAZING
Side note- your hair looks so pretty at the beginning, MyK!
Totally agree with you it does look REALLY PRETTY 😍
Oh yeah !
thank you 🥰
I really think you should try the triple for championships, its cleaner, its backwards facing landing, theres less risk of big steps forward, and you kinda just have to give it your all instead of measuring the 2.5
I would love to see her put the triple in!!!
we will see! It's mostly up to my coaches but if not Championships you'll see it at Trials for sure
@@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial Whatever you guys choose, Good luck and go get it girl!!! im hard rooting for you
@@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial I'm sure it would look good and clean at any time.
@@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial Just YEET it in the championships :D
i’m literally only 8 seconds into the video and the way you literally just floated from low to high bar was just... stunning. i must’ve rewatched it at lease five times
I love hearing how your coaches communicate with you. It really shows growth for the sport.
This is what I like. At this point, more of a colleague to colleague and an athlete with agency as opposed to being a young vulnerable athlete with no life skills yet who is just trying to do something they love
Just pretend you are at Utah again. You always crushed it in college. Stay strong (watch those heels) and know there are a lot of gymnastic fans who are backing you for your skills, experience, and all around ability. Bless you , Jonas, and Melo
The pirouettes on the bar look a lot cleaner. Obviously, your dismount on bars is killer! You generated some nice, clean routines, despite feeling run down .
I feel like we’re already seeing improvements from classics! You’re gonna do great at champions!
Bars were really great!
@@arthurfernandes4824 i agree!! i cant wait to see this comeback
Go for the triple! I thinks it’s better than the 2 1/2! You got it!
I feel like she should do the front through to triple third pass, cause she does her full in like a backwards roll 😂 so I feel like it could go as her last
Yes Myk! Your form on bars looks so much better then it did at classics! Your gonna rock it! You got it super star! Rooting for you ❤️❤️❤️
I yelled “YES!! That’s it!!” So loud on her last Van Leeuwen, I scared my dog and my husband! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@Crystal81Starr hahaha I screamed too! It was so good!!,
You should try the triple full if it’s feeling good, it looks really good!
3:03 That’s probably the best block I’ve ever seen from you! Excellent job!
thank you!!! been working so hard on that
Huuuuuge!
Her coach had a great observation and she executed it perfectly!
It really was that height. 👀
That was a fantastically executed beam routine for someone who didn’t feel like doing beam. Great series! I don’t think there is a single person in the world who can argue the fact that you’ve made such great improvements on every single event! Been sending you good energies all this week.. you’ve been on my mind! So close!
The awesome part of your vlogs / other similar ones is that it provides a true insight into what it takes to get to your level in gymnastics.. Back in the old days, you only ever saw a gymnast compete, wirh NO insight into how far they've come. Here, we're able to see you build / add to your skills, and it's AWESOME, so thank you ❤️
I’ve never rooted for anyone more than you!! So excited to watch championships this week!!! Good luck!! #teamskinner
I scream “Come On Myk!!” throughout EVERYONE of your training videos, like you can really hear me 🤦🏻♀️🤣 It has to be hard training by yourself without teammates for motivation, but I’m super pumped for you and how far you’ve come! YOU GOT THIS!!!!
Same
I was waiting for a yawn count, Jonas!😜 MyKayla, hang in there-you’re so close-and get some rest!! Focusing, getting in the right headspace, and visualization are key too! See yourself like we see you and girl, you’re golden! 😉 You’ve got this!
Your triple is beautiful. Yes yes yes for Trials!! We were there in 2016 and will be there again rooting u on. My daughter is total #teammckayla
Your form has improved TREMENDOUSLY on every event but I especially notice on bars. Your hard work is paying off and I am so excited for you!! I have been rooting for you since the beginning. I believe in you
Just thought you should know that connecting the giant full to the dismount doesn't add to your start value. I think you should add a giant in between to help with the double double
I really hope she sees this😭
Maybe she could even do a triple double out of a giant
Woah I didn't realize that it wouldn't add a connection value. How come?
@@HB-ey2dk i believe bc the giant full is valued C and you need a min. of D for any CV
@soaring gymnastics does this mean that her start value will be 0.2 less then? -0.1 for downgrading and -0.1 because there’s no connection?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your floor routine. The music is my favourite of all time. And I esp love the part before your wolf turns when you do an aerial walkover onto your back - just too cool!!!
I am cheering for you! You did awesome last night! Stay in bounds on floor and hit your beam series and you will be in the top 4!! I cannot wait to see you compete at the Olympics! Vault, bars, beam, floor finalist?!? You’re killing it on all 4 events at championships ✨
Your triple looks fabulous and you take less of a step out, so less deductions. Trust yourself! You can do it!
omg literally just watching the first 20 seconds of the video with the clip of the end of the bar routine I was just amazed, the form is incredible and looks sooooo good, even just from classics it looks so improved. I am so excited to watch you kill it at championships!!
I feel like your confidence that you're ready for the triple is all the convincing you need. You got it! Good luck!!!!!
simone biles: has whole gym to hereself
our mykayla that we love so much: practices with other kids:) she’s so amazing i think she’s gonna rock this competition
You got this girl! I love seeing how much things are improving as you go. And yes yes yes to the triple! It looks so good!
I am Team Myk. You are looking magnificent! You always do best under pressure. Praying for your success. You got this precious girl!
My body hurts just watching you, how you keep going even though you are exhausted is inspiring!
Has anybody else been frustrated with all of the people who have been doubting/hating on Myk? I have seen hate and division about other gymnasts too, but just more so on Myk and Chellsie. It has kind of gotten toxic tbh. I get that everyone is pulling for their favorite gymnasts and that can create division, but why do we have drag other gymnasts down in the process? Like all of these young women have worked their butts off to get where they are, so there isn't any need to tear them down just because you think they aren't going to make it. Anyways, I want to say I am rooting for you Myk! I love seeing the progress take shape. Good luck at championships!
Sadly social media creates echo chambers. A few people say stuff and then it gets parroted and then it becomes the only opinion people are allowed to express. I agree it's very toxic, it's like a bullying mentality. Twitter is the worst and reddit is next, from what I've seen
I agree. I wish every athlete could make it. Their drive and commitment is something I respect in all of them.
Most people aren’t doubting, many are emotionally invested fans and want to see her succeed.
People are allowed their opinions but some of them are clearly biased. They wouldn't care what she did they would hate on her for it.
@@mrparts Most are trolls looking for trouble. I point out issues Mykayla has in her gymnastics some times PRAYING she will listen because I want her on this team more than I have wanted anyone on an Olympic team in 20 years. Most people you can tell are trolling. I would say it's a good 95-5.
Trials is the competition that really matters. You are 100% correct. YES ADD THE TRIPLE FULL FOR TRIALS but ONLY if you feel comfortable. I would be more concerned with your laid-out, double double because if it is as bent as it was at Classics you're not going to get credit for it and we need you to get credit for it :)
You definitely had enough air time for the triple, it’ll look so good can’t wait to see it !
You can do that triple! It looks so good! My 2 year old and I love to watch you do ‘nastics! All your hard work is paying off!!
Looking great McKayla! Thank you so much for documenting your journey! I love watching
I feel like I need a good mind clearing, frustration-releasing cry on MyKayla's behalf. I know it's hard to always be "up" day in, day out. Be cheering you on, girl!!!
💕
That bar routine is so much cleaner and I love the upgrades
I will see you at Olympic Trials! CANNOT wait for 4 evenings of the best gymnastics! 🎉
Remember to breathe and just be in the moment. Trust yourself. Have fun doing it too. You’ve got this.
Yes! Do the triple! I think it looks amazing! 👍🏻👍🏻
I think switching the clear hip full for the giant full was the right call. You're only losing a tenth of a point in D-score but you're definitely going to make up that tenth in E-score just because it's at the end and the endurance isn't always there. Also, your form on bars here is really really good! I saw like three leg separations and no flexed feet during the entire thing! Just do this at trials and you'll be golden!
Your bars form at 13:26 looks incredible, I thought I was watching Suni 😂. I’m sad to see the clear-hip-full go, but I totally agree that the extra 0.1 just isn’t worth it. Keep being amazing MyKayla!
Hi MyKayla! It’s my dream to go to the olympics! I definitely think your going to go the olympics! I am routing for you! Im training level six, so I’ve got a lot of time to go. Good luck you got this. ❤️
Shap Half was looking much cleaner.
There’s nobody else I want more on the Olympic team than you. You go girl. You got this. I’ll be rooting for you.
1 of your best videos ever your hard work is paying off good luck 👍
So proud of you Mykayla!!! I will be cheering for you on Saturday! Go for the triple!!! It looks so beautiful. All of your routines look amazing.
You are so ready! You got this! I‘m looking foreward to the triple full at Olympic trials
You’re doing that for Olympic trials! Boss up in that corner baby you got it!!!!
No need to stress, most important thing is to enjoy the meet and have fun performing. 🙂
Add the triple now. It looks so good! Better to get confidence in it now than not having it clean in time for trials!
On a side note - your coaches seem nice and I like the way they talk to you. That’s good. We need good coaches that foster mutual respect.
My team and I are doing this reflection thing where we say what we saw that was good and I just wanted to say you are amazing at working through things and an incredible gymnast 😊
👏🏻DO👏🏻NOT👏🏻COUNT👏🏻SKINNER👏🏻OUT!
Beautiful progress even since Classics. I’m betting on Myk.
Girl, your triples always look so good! But do what you feel comfortable with! Everything is looking great! Good luck this week!! ❤️❤️❤️
I think you should add in the triple...but YOU need to KNOW you are ready to add it in. 🙂
You got this! It looks great 👍
Ooh OUCH your poor ankles! But on the plus the bars ending looked AWESOME the Maloney half your pointy toes and legs together great job Myk! and your last pirouette was lookin really good too! 🙌
Bars are looking amazing! Good luck at championships!! 😊
Mykayla you’re a star. We are rooting for you!
The triple is beautiful... definitely add it in when you get the endurance! You’re doing awesome!
I would say to keep ur routines as clean as possible til ur comfortable enough to complete the skill bc u have to weigh the risk vs reward here!! Point those toes and keep those legs together and u r gonna rock!! Good luck this weekend!
Idk but i just love her bars, her edginess is soo satisfing or like idk how to explan it, its not super fluyd-and i like that. And beam, here split jumps - they are so quick and i love them, its not like a crazy oversplit and in here for it! Also i think you should add the triple Back to avoid the 3 maybe 5 tenth steps you do with 2 1/2
You should def try the trip full! It looks really good! You got this!
Dunno if you've always done strength & conditioning separately (I saw one of the videos in a fitness gym), but honestly your physique looks really solid and strong comparing to perhaps years ago and comparing to your competition. Really happy to see a gymnast taking a more scientific fitness approach to her work...on top of all the gymnastics you do! 😱☺️ Best of luck, it's a pleasure to watch your progress! Hugs from London ♥️
you're doing so great! your floor routine is AMAZING!!!
I don't know how much harder it is but the triple twist looks neater in the air and seems to have fewer landing deductions than the 2 1/2, if you can manage it at the end that is!
Has it ever been considered to just a do a nice full twisting double layout instead of the double double layout? Maybe I missed something or maybe it's harder to control for her but with the form deductions it may increase the execution a little more.
She should t be doing any twisting double lay imo. Should just make tucked double double the first pass.
I can't haha I literally have to be twisting to do a layout
when you kept your legs together on that turn on bars (sorry I don’t know the proper name) i was cheering so much! you got this Myk
If you feel it in your heart then I think you should go for it , you already have all the big tricks in the bag and might as well finish it off with the triple, it would probably look cleaner without the step from doing the 2 and half... your routine is so beautiful and so are you 💗 good luck , you work so hard and deserve the best 👌
I'm geniunly impressed with how good you've gotten. Keep working hard!
have followed your career as both an elite gymnast and while you were in college. I have reallly enjoyed watching your training during these last months. Keep up the great work and i will be cheering you on this week, Love and prayers sent from Ottawa ON Canada
Definitely take out that clear-hip full before your dismount, like you said, you don't need to worry about that .01, but are you going to add full twist back to the Pak? That was an awesome combination!
It’s an awesome but needs to be cleaned. This is a routine she can go clean on
@@mariahazcueta3621 i agree the bar routine here is very clean with enough difficulty to be competitive
@@LatinFratGuy1 agreed. That’s what she needs to do. Go clean. Go crazy at the Olympics but first ya gotta make the team
i know you can do the triple full!!! believe in yourself 💕💕💕I KNOW YOU GOT THIS
Your form on bars is looking so much better. I found it a little insulting how the announcer at classics was pointing out how your form didn’t look that great. I think he needed to think more about the improvements you have made. 👍
I also did my first round-off backhand spring half at my last practice, and I could never even do a full of I tried. Your tumbling is so sharp, it makes me so entertained!
I could not tumble on that floor. The corner going into the wall is terrifying. Wonder how many people have head butted it lol
The triple on floor looks so much cleaner than the 2.5! Go for it! When you feel ready of course though 🥰
Was that a world record attempt yawn at 4:12? 😆
Seriously though, you’re looking fantastic and I can’t wait to see you compete at Championships. Just be confident and believe in yourself as much as us your fans believe in you!
Wishing you all the luck and love all the way from London UK - you got this girl!
Omg MyKayla you've improved so much just since classics!! Can't wait to see you at championships and trials!!
Cheering you on Myk! You have worked so hard!! Rest when you can! And you got this! 💪
Yes, definitely do the triple. It looks so much better then the 2 1/2. Your jumps on beam looked really good too. The bars are coming along nicely and I just love your vaults. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to watch Championships. You got this!
Great job! You're looking really strong. I hope you can get the triple in your floor routine. Looking forward to seeing you compete!
the pain is real, Ouch! Just keep working through it Mykayla!
That giant full was so clean at the end!
The look on her face at 18:41 sums up my life… omg love Myk!
Just a little longer, you’ve got this girl!
I vote for the triple twist, it looks great ! Best of luck for Championships, I hope everything goes well :)
Got my tickets to Trials today!! My seats are closest to bars so can’t wait to see this in person.
Your doing awesome, all your hard work is showing! You deserve a GOLD!
I really love your floor music and chorography!!!! Oh! And your bags of tricks!! LOL
The triple is AMAZING! You go girl!!!
Been rooting for you! You looked great today! Well..every day is impressive. But it looks like despite yawning, your stamina is coming back. Survival mode..more like Beast mode. You got this!
Good luck MyKayla! You're looking great and you're going to do amazing! You can do it! 💪
I think you could do it! If you believe you can do it, it's going to be awesome! Have confidence in yourself! We all have confidence in you ❤❤
You can do it MyKayla! You got this!!! 💪
Already told my roommates and bf they better be prepared for a full weekend of gymnastics 🤸🏼♀️
You are looking fabulous!! So happy for you!! Keep fighting!! Praying for you!!
Smart! I like that better than the clear hip full. Good luck!
