- Olympic gymnast Lance Ringnald analyses the floor, beam and vault skills of Olympic medalist Mykayla Skinner with side by side comparisons and deep insights. What kind of a gymnast was Mykayla? Come and see!
There is a reason why she got herself the 11th AA place in the Olympics, getting the 4th place among the 6 American girls (Simone, Suni, Jade, Myk, Grace, Jordan). However, this would not be happening in 2022-2024 quad because now vaults are scored much less than in the previous quad and floor routines are butchered even more with artistic deductions which can reach even up to a -1.500.

Please go directly to your nearest library, do not pass Go!, do not collect $200. Ag the library select a dictionary of the English language, and review words including girl, synonym, sexism, ageism, emancipation, and misogyny. You might actually learn something!!! If nothing else, anyone w/ two X chromosomes in your limited life will thank you. SMH.

@@leelab8307 hahahaha. They are both very strong personalities ha ha.
I think she was exciting to watch, was very determined and earned her spot in 2021. No one can take that away from her but having the eye of a tiger backfired her, once again. Mykayla had very nice tricks and a quality of chunkyness because of her lack of flexibility. She had form issues all around and basically relied on her technique, her muscle mass and power. Unfortunately, I always felt she was the type of gymnast who felt like she deserved better results because she worked hard, performed well and wanted success too badly. However, her gymnastics were not that good as your analysis shows. Yes, she became better to the extent she could, got a lot of fans (myself included) because of her grit, longevity and spontaniety. But in the end though, there is a cost everyone must pay while feeling entitled, speak so freely and not in a positive way.
Very insightful and thanks for the message. Yes, when someone is the eye of the ticker, the challenge does seem to be they think they should place higher than the quality of their gymnastics. I think that can be frustrating for those perspectives but I also think it helps them compete well. The opposite would be to feel they dont deserve to be at the top and that does not seem to serve a person very well hahaha. Her determination helped her and as you said, she can never have that sport, or those Olympic experiences taken away. Thanks again and my best.
I agree… I wonder why it took so long for her coaches to correct those major issues? I almost feel like they were just happy she could do the tricks, but had terrible form. That is why she never scored well internationally. I believe they were right to put her as an alternate all those years. Also, THANK GOD for safe sport! Lol
Personal feelings on her aside, as always, an interesting, informative and entertaining video. I love your content and will watch even if I’m not a fan of the particular gymnast because they’ve said or done things that seem insensitive and awful, their talent and dedication to this amazing sport can’t be denied.
Thanks a lot and I am glad you enjoy my content. There are many components to a person. I focus on the gymnastics, their skills and how they approach their performances. Rock on and all my best.

Uhhh, no. I see talent and dedication to her EGO, nothing more in 4 long yrs.
The massive vlog content she regularly releases is incredibly redundant, focuses on HER, not the sport, and is ignorant, racist, and self-serving.
Nothing to admire here. Just a vault she pulled off as an alternate 4 yrs ago after a more skilled athlete pulled out.
The hatred and vitriol she’s been spewing since then damaged her, her kid, her ‘career’ (not sure what career skills she might possess or develop - this isn’t a woman who values education nor the expertise of others) and the sport.
Long past time she found a purpose in her life. Gymnastics isn’t it.
@@OLYMPIANTEACHES-bh6gp
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Babe, you’ve been laser-focused on yourself for YEARS. Drop out of gymnastics - you’re causing far more harm than good here - and find something to do that meets your skill set and level of education.
It’ll be hard; you’ve shown few skills, abilities, or “work ethic” to work with. But it might improve the outcome for your child. GL.
While this young woman has/ had athletic skills I will never have, and was probably abused as a child/ adolescent during her gymnastics career, she is now an ADULT. I’m done listening to her hurtful, hateful messages.
For **yrs** she has released racist, misogynistic, entitled vlogs comparing her one event in the Tokyo vault (an opportunity she got ONLY because a better athlete faltered) to any/everything and stating she was better, she woulda/ coulda/ shoulda succeeded ….. essentially saying she’d be the current GOAT if she’d spent 5 minutes trying.
Uhhh, no.
She didn’t. Her “work ethic” didn’t include work. See her US and NCAA records to demonstrate her personal ‘work ethic.’
Okay, freedom of speech. She’s entitled to her opinion. But being an adult, and trying to cash in on one’s Olympic past w/o even the decency to acknowledge she was an alternate, not a team member, let alone the accomplishments and struggles (anyone ever heard of Nasser?) of her peers, suggests she’s battling bigger demons than an Olympic team she never made until a better athlete had a single misstep.
Ms Skinner Harmer is hurting herself (tho I doubt she realizes it) on multiple levels w/ her social media presence. She’s also hurting her family, her future career (should she choose or need to have one), her religious beliefs, USA gymnastics …..
I hope someone who knows this mom can reach her, and help her find the support and services she needs. If, for no one else, than her child.
She lacks maturity. It a reflection on her upbringing.
Ignorance is cute.
Wisdom is beauty.
3:22 FYI- that’s Aly Raisman, not Alicia Sacramone
@@mcsmaria28 thank you. Yes, I’ve been told by many ha ha ha. Somehow she snuck into the wrong folder. I will correct it, but I’m on the road right now. Thank you though for the insight and all my best.
6:04 this is the first time I’ve seen a comparison of her vault and floor and omg this explains her Cheng form so much. She was basically doing a moors over the vaulting table lol but her form definitely improved at Tokyo!
@@rugbyplayer9100 haha. Although it was limiting, she definitely found a technique that worked for her for that time. Thanks for the message and all my best.
You are being gracious yet to critique is to critique!!!
@@KayMaria40 yes, true. You can always be on one side or the other. In these cases, I prefer to be on the gracious side. Iview it more is an analysis than a critique. But you are correct, you must be truthful about everything you see and analyze. Thanks for your message and my best..
You are a master of diplomacy when MyKayla needs it most. She was a tremendous athlete. It was awesome that she let us in to see her training for Tokyo. Her arsenal of skills is even greater than what she competed. Now if we can just get her some media training and/or good editing. 😊 Love seeing you crush that DTY on the old sideways horse. I worked those for a while with a stackable mat. We all had to be a little bit crazy to do most of the stuff we worked on and learned. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Best sport in the world.
Thanks. We are all just people. When I looked closer at all her gymnastics I realized I had forgotten how aggressive she was and how many skill she had. She was impressive. Thanks for your message.
I love that clip of you on the vault back in the day! Yes I'd love to hear your opinion on the twisties.
Ha ha, thanks. Gymnastics was a bit different in my generation. I have had the twisties and I have had a few friends that I’ve had the twisties. It really is a physical thing you can’t do anything about and it usually runs its course in a couple of weeks. It’s like this- if somebody close to you, jumps at you very fast, you instinctively jump back. The same response happens in the middle of skills. Normally the skill is so part of your body. You feel every part and every moment of the skill. With the twisties it’s like you’ve never done the skill before and you feel lost. That moment of feeling lost creates that instinctive turn away like when someone jumps at you. The biggest problem is the more you think about it the worst it gets. I had a friend that it got so bad he would twist in a front handspring. I wish they would study this more. It is based around a fear response and the moment of not feeling familiar with the skill. Rock on and my best
@@OLYMPIANTEACHES-bh6gp Wow that's a very thorough response! I'm sorry you had to deal with that. It's fascinating though unremarkable that you can recover from the twisties. I'm grateful Simone has made such a comeback
I'v enjoyed your analyses and that clip of your own gymnastics. You are one of the first gymnasts I remember watching back in the day - most likely on ABCs Wide World of Sports. That old vaulting horse was something else. I can't believe ya'll competed on it; I do remember seeing some nasty collisions with it back then.
Hahaah. Thanks a lot. I have vaulted yurchinkos on the current horse (tonque) and its a game changer. We were a bit crazy back then but that was the normal vault of the day and we were just used to it hahaha. The change to the new vault was one of the best changes made in gymnastics in my view. Rock on and glad you like my videos. My best.
Yes. I would love for you to do a vidoe of the twisties!!!
I always wonder: would coaches ever try to correct the underuse of her other arm during vaults? Not sure if that'd mess up her rhythm. I've never tried a vault; just a curious fan hoping for insight! :)
@@UsernameStarfish good insight. That is my thought as well. To plant and push with that other arm would interrupt her flip rotation speed, and that would interrupt her twisting mechanics so my opinion is, it would almost be like doing a different skill if she tried to block equally and longer with both arms.she did get better at that vault in time, but I never saw her fully connect with a deep block pushing off the horse. Thanks for your message and insights and all my best.
@@OLYMPIANTEACHES-bh6gp Thank you for a great explanation! As always, rock on!!
Very good video, but it was aly in the triple twist comparation. Either way, very nice and educative video
Haha. Yes, and thank you. I have had others tell me this also. I really like that the people that watch my videos know their stuff. Not sure how that snuck by me. I think I put her aly's video in Sacromones folder by accident. All my best.
@@OLYMPIANTEACHES-bh6gp Nah don't worry, it's a really informative video given also the fact that I'm training to be a judge as well
Great analysis as always! Can't wait to see your take on Chellsie.
I am shooting for Friday at some time that day to post Chellsie. She really did some great skills and gymnastics. I am in the middle of it now. Rock on.
I remember her doing a RUclips video and saying she was never able to do a backbend. I was shocked. It is the pivotal move in gymnastics.
Haha. Back in the day it was harder to hide your weaknesses because we had compulsory routines. Its funny what strengths and weaknesses some gymnasts have. We are all built a bit different but we work with what we have haha. My best
5:46 i'm 💀
Hahaha. It thinks this meant tired but I am not sure. If so, hope you got some good sleep. My best.
I’m confused why he was overlooking blatant mistakes and form errors in her skills…. And he also called aly raisman Alicia sacramone 😭 not too credible in my opinion
@@kylemcbride8660 I’m sorry you feel that way. I hope you got something out of the video. Thanks for tuning in and all my best.
She looks more flexible than what i remembered.
Same. I remember it being worse along with bent knees which was really obvious in real time.
She was worse, but she worked on her flexibility on college because she came back a lot cleaner with the dancing skills after that.
This must be a theme. I also remember her being a bit loose in form and tighter in flexibility but when I analyzed her, she was more flexible than I remember and she was not as loose as I recall. She was better than I remember. Thanks and my best.
I thought the same. I wonder if in real time she didn't appear as flexible because she wasn't getting oversplits. Of course, I had not seen every performance of hers either. I heard her describe during her comeback how difficult it was to make her legs look straight and I think that affects the appearance of flexibility in leaps. As much as I am a stickler for straight legs, I could understand where she was coming from. I grew up in dance but it takes a LOT of work to completely straighten my legs in leaps. There was more clean form in this video than I remembered.
There's no denying that in her prime, MyKayla was one of the best gymnasts in the world.
After my analysis, I could see more clearly how she was talented. She was a go getter and did some really nice gymnastics.
Always educational, thank you.
Thanks and as always, I am glad you enjoy and my best.
I’m very much the fear driven gymnast
Hahah. So was I but as I competed more I got more confident, I learned that pressure and nerves were always going to be part of it so I expected to be nervous and that thought alone helped a lot. Pressure creates alot of energy but it is a hard energy to control. If we can learn to control - or at least manage - our pressure, we can use the energy it creates to perform even better. The more nervous I was before a competition the more relaxed I was at the competition. I learned that being nervous before is a type of preparation. I never got over being nervous but I did learn to deal with it much better. Thanks and all my best.
@@OLYMPIANTEACHES-bh6gp thank you so much for this wonderful insight
@@quinnflips03 I am so glad you enjoyed it and it was my pleasure. All my best.
MyKayla is someone who always seems serious about and committed to gymnastics. She has the spirit of someone who wants to win.
@@UsernameStarfish yes, she remind me of Blaine Wilson or John Rothlisberger for the men. The eye of the tiger and very aggressive. That perspective I believe helped her apply all her energy.
Love her.
