She didn't "LiTErAlLy" say "that girl who fell twice." This right here is exactly how this whole thing blew up. By people misquoting, exaggerating, and purposely trying to hurt someone in a witch hunt. She never singled out Suni. You should have the common sense to understand what someone is trying to talk about, and that in spoken speech, you don't get the opportunity to make every word perfect. She said: "Some of the girls that fell twice and still ending up in the second place in the all-around, just kind of crazy to me.” Anyone who has common sense would know that she was communicating that the gap in scores between Simone and the next few placements is so large that gymnasts were able to fall multiple times and still make the Olympic team. There isn't the usual bunch of strong younger gymnasts in this quad that would normally fill that performance gap. She was never trying to call out an individual gymnast and say they performed poorly. Any halfway intelligent person can understand this, but I've found those who typically follow gymnastics are low in intelligence, so that's part of why you're all having trouble getting it. And the other part is that, ironically, YOU are the mean girl just waiting to be given the okay to pounce on another woman and beat her down. Ahhhhh, several other idiots are saying MyKayla is bad, so YOU get to have it out on her too!
Honestly I think the depth in USA gymnastics has actually gotten deeper over the last few years. Skinner would not have been a factor these days. She was a mediocre gymnast who got lucky that Simone pulled out so she could compete in vault. She isn’t the brightest person and has always been the type to put her foot in her mouth. The way she kept going on about Suni’s body type was unnecessary as well.
I did not see the clips of her comments about Suni. Wow, did she actually say names? I could understand some things being taken out of context, but she said a lot that had very clear context.

You said it! Nothing like saying the current gymnasts have no work ethic only to turn around and say I never said that. Perhaps if people can’t get their point across clearly then they should shut up and keep their sh*tty opinions to themselves.
@2AFARXDEUX That's really it right there, though. The problem is that she didn't clearly communicate what she meant to say. And it's crazy to me how many people expect a person's spoken speech on the fly to come out perfectly literal. I can see that MyKayla was simply aiming to communicate that there was a very large gap between first place and the rest of those who made the Olympic team, and that in past Olympic cycles, there would be a few younger girls who would have risen from the junior ranks to score higher and close the gap more. Shilese would have performed well had she been healthy, but otherwise, there honestly isn't the same level of depth that the US experienced in the past. Normally there are three or four girls who could potentially medal in the all around. But this cycle we only have Simone who has a realistic chance. If Suni had an incremental huge improvement, it's possible, but otherwise unlikely.
For her to question the work ethic of a gymnast makes me wonder if you even know your own sport. These young women have to committed in order to be succesful. You have to put in the time at an early age and be consistent throughout. It's not a sport where you can coast on raw talent. It has to be developed from a young age.

Bad work ethic = seeing gymnasts injured out of the Olympic Trials and saying, “Huh! Now I wish I had tried for a comeback! I bet I could have made it.” -McKayla Skinner
And I seriously doubt she would've made it. She wasn't one of the stronger athletes on her team anyways . And I hope she realizes she just ruined her career as a sports commentator and RUclips wanna be
Honestly? This team is an amazing story of work ethic, dedication, perseverance and the blossom of youth with Hezly. Yes, we will definitely miss Shi and Skye and Kay, But the team we have is amazing. 4 of these athletes know what this is like and have the experience to crush it. With their support, Hezly will have more confidence. Skinner is just mad she didn’t stay in the game.
We should also lift that Simone is competing at 27! It’s great that the fixation of youth stops beeing the center of talk. I wish Ohashi would still be competing, she would be the same age as Simone. The team from this year will for sure bring home Gold, they are amazing! Wishing the ones that didn’t make it a speedy recovery!
Hezly was focused she hit all routines. Her parents moved from New Jersey to support her. You see her pride in her parents, especially her dad. Do you think that is someone with a poor work ethic after all her family sacrificed for her. Her comments were ridiculous.
Weird, because after watching the trials, I thought this is probably the strongest team ever! 4 of them could medal in individual events, even in the all-around. What more could you hope for?
Suni is the Olympic all-around champion, Jade is the floor gold medalist and would have likely medaled on the vault if she didn't have a misstep, not to mention here vaults have more amplitude and have better form than Skinners. If you put those three up in a three up, three count scenario, they will have some of the highest scores, if not the highest scores in the competition. Chiles is a very consistent, solid athlete all-around athlete with more overall difficulty than Skinner, and Hezly is the junior champion, better than Skinner on bars and beam. The events that Skinner could have contributed with in the team competition - Vault and Floor are already accounted for.
McKayala made such nasty comments about these girls, I couldn't even continue watching the video. Shawn Johnson also did a "Live Olympic Trials Reaction" and the difference was stark. It was clear that the difference in mindset is why Shawn made the team and snagged the all-around silver and McKayla never even made an Olympic team. She should focus on raising her daughter and work on herself. She has a terrible mindset. She says things to seek attention and stir up controversy. Bitter is not a good look!
SafeSport is not just involved with gymnastics, but plenty of other national and international sports and organizations. Some of the main requirements include not traveling / lodging alone with minors as a singular adult, having another adult present when in a closed door meeting / training session with an athlete, no exchange of phone calls/ emails/ texts of a personal nature with athletes... Sure...let's get rid of those completely nonsensical rules...🤨😒
There is no room in anything she said for misinterpretation. The fact that she tries to justify the abuse that used to occur under USAG and the Karolyis is simply shocking. There is no place for abuse in any sport and it isn’t going to turn out better athletes. If it wasn’t for Simone Biles coach then there would have been no Simone had she been under the full control of the Karolyis. Not everyone flourishes under that kind of abuse. Simone struggled under the Karolyis and it was only her coach which stepped in to protect her which stopped her going under completely. Those women on the current team have worked so hard and come through their own individual struggles to get onto the team. They earned their place on the team and she had no right to question their place nor does she have the right to fat shame or judge their performance. From what I remember of her performance she was always trying to push the boundaries but it was always a mess and she could never pull it off.
There are so many interviews and quotes of Myk saying how horrible the Karoly (sp?) camp was and how Marta was mean and scary and would grab them by the back of the neck. She was the most outspoken about it at one time! I don’t think she even knows at this point wth she’s talking about. She’s trying to stay relevant but she comes off as rude, bitter and ignorant.
She might’ve gotten away with the apology if she hadn’t singled out Simone. By doing that, you’re automatically including every other gymnast in your complaint
You wouldn't even know MS was an Olympian/NCAA athlete. I think it's merely sour grapes because three have successfully sandwiched NCAA careers between two Olympic Team memberships. The salt is real on the 2x Alternate, who has leveraged her career quite well. It seems she holds deep resentment for the blessings, lacking in gratitude for the favor bestowed upon her in exchange for relishing in favor of others. Being an alternate who bagged a silver medal on vault is not to spat on. Many Olympians return home with the experience and are grateful for achieving qualifications when so many can only dream of putting together a successful journey towards it. But it all goes to show you that you can have a bucket of sand and someone who owns an entire paradise island can still envy your bucket of sand.
Mckayla skinner was the one bragging about how she was able to eat everything she wanted and how it didn’t affect her gymnastics, and how she just took a year of gymnastics because she was bored of it🤦🏻♀️
Mykayla Skinner is pathetic. She has always been an alternate. 2014 is the only world team she made where she actually competed. She won only 1 individual medal at worlds; a bronze on vault. She made the 2016 Olympic team as an alternate and thought she should have made the main team over Gabby Douglass, despite the fact she had nothing to offer the team. Her two “strengths” of vault and floor were covered. And her execution is horrible. Tim Dagget said it right: her routines were too hard for her. She has no empathy or sympathy for the young women that were injured and only saw that she might - have finally- made the main team! And she wouldn’t have. Hezely Rivera might not have the highest difficulty but her execution is amazing. She still would have been picked over Skinner even if Skinner came in 5th.
Anyone remember the movie " "Stick It"? Excellent movie. It's about young gymnasts sticking their landing in competitions...There's always that one girl pissing and moaning about everyone else cause she thinks she's so great🙄
She’s lying and she knows it. She meant it all about this team. She picked at Suni not having a gymnasts body after her kidney issues. I was like: huh? She’s been extremely sick and she managed to get back to elite level better than before in one year. I’ve not ever seen that happen without hard work. Well, I take that back….Courtney Kupets did it in ‘04. ❤
@heatherwicker9990 I didn't see her original video - what is she saying is wrong with Suni's body? I love that gymnasts come in different shapes and sizes and there isn't a specific body type. Suni looked great in the last Olympics and looks great now! Commenting on someone else's body in general is rude and uncalled for. The only exception I could see is possibly regarding height because it makes a difference on the way skills are performed, especially on bars...but making comments on body type...? Like I said I didn’t see the video, but really hope she didn't say anything negative about Suni's body - I love Suni's gymnastics she is so graceful and elegant and her movements always look so fluid.
She’s a real one for this lol USA gymnastics just lost its flair. Compare this team to a weiber, raisman, Douglass, Ross, maroney . Every person on that team was a super star and had this magic.
I’m excited for this team. It seems to be a well rounded team of All-Arounders and that’s amazing. Holding space everyone stays in perfect health and nails all their routines. ❤❤❤
The athletes are already too tough on themselves, hence the injuries. And much of the 2024 team is the same as the 2020(2021) team. I'm not sure why she would say what she did.
“Think before you speak” applies here. I don’t think Mykayla realized when she was speaking that she was endorsing the Karolyi’s abusive training techniques by saying flat out that the athletes, pre SafeSport, were better trained than the ones after but that’s what she said, and as my mother used to say “think hard before you speak because once the words come out of your mouth, there is no way of getting them back.” Unfortunately, I think any chance Mykayla might have had of working for a major network as a commentator, or for USA Gymnastics is gone forever. In fact, I’m not sure any gym would hire her at this point. With one short youtube post she destroyed some pretty big opportunities.
You said exactly what you meant so get out of here with that when you got backlash you are just trying to clean up what you said and what you meant I'm so sick of people are always saying stuff and then you got to come back and apologize learn how to keep your mouth shut if you can't say something nice just keep your mouth shut
One of the things I always taught my niece is that nobody has a right to touch you in your privates. It’s like the “pants” song. What you do in the bathroom is Your business, and no one has the right to touch you. Period. End Paragraph. It doesn’t matter if it’s a doctor, if you don’t feel comfortable with someone seeing you or touching you, then you need to get another doctor. Larry Nasser should be Banned from medicine. I don’t know how someone like that could even Become a doctor.
She is unrecognizable! How much of plastic surgery did she have? I really like this 2024 team. Sunny Li, Jade and obviously the legend Simon! Can’t wait to watch them soon !!
Simone is 27 born 3/14/1997 and is the oldest female Artistic Gymnast to make the US Women's Gymnastic team for the Olympics in 72 yrs. since Marian Barone did aged 28 for Helsinki Olympics in 1952 and only the 2nd Woman Of Color to make 3 consecutive Olympic teams behind Dominique Dawes who did so for Barcelona 1992 Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000 and was a couple months short of her 24th birthday when the team won Bronze in Team All Around at Sydney on Sept 20th 2000 individual all around medals were awarded on 21st September and the individual Apparatus medals were handed out on Sept 23 and 25th if I remember Correctly it would be nice to see the men's team win team all around Gold again they haven't in 40 yrs. since Los Angeles in 1984 though that team did have some Icons on it such as Bart Conner Tim Daggett and Mitch Gaylord. also Women on Uneven Bars do the Gaylord Flip and connect it to a release move like a Hindorff or Khorkina not another flip like a Comaneci named after Nadia who is married to Bart Conner and they have an 18 year old son Dylan who is also a Gymnast not the only former Olympians child to be eligible for the team this year so was Dominique Moceanu's Daughter Carmen born Dec 25th 2007 and her son Vincent is eligible for the men's team in 2028 as he was born March 13th 2009 naturally guys are taller/heavier than the girls for instance Simone Biles is 4 Ft 8 in and 104 LBs while Bart Conner when he was competing was 1.6764 m or 5 Ft 6 in and 140 LBs of course you shrink with age and injury Bart is 5 Ft 3 in now of course Simone like Shannon Miller is a 7 time Olympic Medalist 4 Gold 1 Silver 2 Bronze while Millers are 2 Silver 3 Bronze 2 Gold funny enough Miller's highest score in 1992 was on uneven bars 9.96 .4 off of Gold on that event and .2 off silver which was Tatiana Gutsu of Unified team who was 6 mos. older than Miller their birthdays are Sept 5th 1976 and March 10th 1977 respectively also Tatiana was 4 Ft 11 in while Miller was 4 Ft 6 in tall at 15 years old and was 5 Ft 1 in in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics had Shannon Miller not dislocated her knee at the trials in 2000 she would've made her 3rd Olympic team and won team Bronze again and maybe Gold on Beam and Floor which would've given her 10 medals which would've tied her for 3rd place with Agnes Keleti of Hungary and Polina Ashtakova of Soviet Union instead of in a 6 way tie for 6th place with 7
IF people misunderstood what you were saying it's because you weren't clear....the onus is on the person speaking to make sure that his or her perspective is understood properly.....She should have clarified that she was talking about gymnasts that she has seen where she works or does gymnastics but I'm skeptical....I think she got checked by the greatest most decorated gymnast in the world and now she is walking her comments back......while trying to protect her ego at the same time....This is a non apology She basically said sorry u misunderstood what I meant....but we didn't....
She was being a poor sport, made disrespectful comments, and an insincere apology where she makes excuses for her actions by blaming Marta. She also made specific references. She didn’t name drop, but we know who she was talking about. She fell twice and still got second because the rest of it was that good. It didn’t ‘come out wrong’, she realized people didn’t side with her.
Id really like to give Makayla the benefit of the doubt, but this was really bad. I do not think she purposely meant to hurt anyone. But she was a little judgmental and opinionated. But sport has changed.She's absolutely right and granted.There's probably some snowflakes out there.However, the girls that made the team and all of the ones that I see trained so hard for almost their entire lives.And they deserve the accolades they recei.Don't think there's a work ethic issue. The sport has changed for the longevity of the athlete as well as their current competitive health and well being
Man that silver medal really went to her head 😑🙄 a medal that you only had the chance to get because Simone had the twisties and pulled out. Literally no one wants your opinion
❤ I love Simone the person the other port to come with her is all extra. She is a wonderful person. Thanks for that Simone I love.😮 Makayla meant just what she said. You are jealous of Simone admitted. They are not girls they are young ladies, outstanding young ladies. Can you say that about yourself let me answer it for you no.😮
😊I am all about…… Truth, Transparency, Accountability, Strength, and Simone Biles of TEAM USA truly represents: “All-Of-That”……. I ❤her for that!!!!!!!! Amen🙏🏾
The quality declined because the farm of talent had dried up and left. Trust was broken. Other options and paths to success. Talent will be there because the kids will still reach for it if their parents/sponsors apply the investment. But many more will go to college and brand themselves away from the Olympic path and take their dreams elsewhere. After #LA28, the US will be sending more indiv. specialists in years to come. This is happening globally. US colleges are recruiting international gymnasts through world events that occur annually, to come to their sports programs too.
Geez, people want to start drama all the time, like no one can say what they feel or want anymore because 100% of the world population doesn’t agree. So we should cancel all social media and news outlets. Mykayla voiced her opinion and not everyone should agree, I don’t agree with a lot of things a lot of other people say and I move on with my life and forget about it.
She is basically questioning why the gymnastics training isnt as hard as before. And "before" is well know to have left many young athletes being victims of abuse, verbally and physically. So no, this is not about collapsing because she shared an innocent opinion, this is calling her out for her twisted ways of thinking.
I think yall making her comments bigger than what they were. All she's saying is that it was harder to get selected for the olympic team years ago than it is now ... what's wrong with that? It's the truth. Even the tone from the sports newscasters has changed in recent years. It IS weird to see gymnasts fall and STILL go to the Olympics. 🤷🏾♀️
All of the people tearing Myk down for WINNING a silver medal at the OLYMPICS are just as bad as her. None of you all could be half the gymnast Myk was. Two wrongs don't make a right
Sorry, it wasn’t just her opinion. She actually took the video down because she was saying a lot of things that were factually completely incorrect. Like, some very basic historical gymnastics facts that she was presenting as truth and when fact checked by others, they just were completely wrong and it made her look really, ignorant, so that was the main reason the video was actually taken down.
Suni has no work ethic? You try getting back into elite gymnastics after having kidney problems

@@janetcampbell5601 She has a daughter, a baby named Charlotte. Poor kid.
Bad work ethic = seeing gymnasts injured out of the Olympic Trials and saying, “Huh! Now I wish I had tried for a comeback! I bet I could have made it.” -McKayla Skinner
Wow!!! How crass of her to say something like that in that situation.
And I seriously doubt she would've made it. She wasn't one of the stronger athletes on her team anyways . And I hope she realizes she just ruined her career as a sports commentator and RUclips wanna be
Honestly? This team is an amazing story of work ethic, dedication, perseverance and the blossom of youth with Hezly. Yes, we will definitely miss Shi and Skye and Kay, But the team we have is amazing. 4 of these athletes know what this is like and have the experience to crush it. With their support, Hezly will have more confidence. Skinner is just mad she didn’t stay in the game.
We should also lift that Simone is competing at 27! It’s great that the fixation of youth stops beeing the center of talk.
I wish Ohashi would still be competing, she would be the same age as Simone.
The team from this year will for sure bring home Gold, they are amazing!
Wishing the ones that didn’t make it a speedy recovery!
And I think Hezly showed great confidence at trials!
Hezly was focused she hit all routines. Her parents moved from New Jersey to support her. You see her pride in her parents, especially her dad. Do you think that is someone with a poor work ethic after all her family sacrificed for her. Her comments were ridiculous.
@@carolharris2401 I agree. skinner needed a big glass of shut up. She was served it ice cold!
Weird, because after watching the trials, I thought this is probably the strongest team ever! 4 of them could medal in individual events, even in the all-around. What more could you hope for?
Suni is the Olympic all-around champion, Jade is the floor gold medalist and would have likely medaled on the vault if she didn't have a misstep, not to mention here vaults have more amplitude and have better form than Skinners. If you put those three up in a three up, three count scenario, they will have some of the highest scores, if not the highest scores in the competition. Chiles is a very consistent, solid athlete all-around athlete with more overall difficulty than Skinner, and Hezly is the junior champion, better than Skinner on bars and beam. The events that Skinner could have contributed with in the team competition - Vault and Floor are already accounted for.
McKayala made such nasty comments about these girls, I couldn't even continue watching the video. Shawn Johnson also did a "Live Olympic Trials Reaction" and the difference was stark. It was clear that the difference in mindset is why Shawn made the team and snagged the all-around silver and McKayla never even made an Olympic team. She should focus on raising her daughter and work on herself. She has a terrible mindset. She says things to seek attention and stir up controversy. Bitter is not a good look!
can you imagine being an athlete/coach/parent at her gym right now LOL. She completely shit on them in her apology. Just messed up.
SafeSport is not just involved with gymnastics, but plenty of other national and international sports and organizations.
Some of the main requirements include not traveling / lodging alone with minors as a singular adult, having another adult present when in a closed door meeting / training session with an athlete, no exchange of phone calls/ emails/ texts of a personal nature with athletes...
Sure...let's get rid of those completely nonsensical rules...🤨😒
Right
There is no room in anything she said for misinterpretation. The fact that she tries to justify the abuse that used to occur under USAG and the Karolyis is simply shocking. There is no place for abuse in any sport and it isn’t going to turn out better athletes. If it wasn’t for Simone Biles coach then there would have been no Simone had she been under the full control of the Karolyis. Not everyone flourishes under that kind of abuse. Simone struggled under the Karolyis and it was only her coach which stepped in to protect her which stopped her going under completely. Those women on the current team have worked so hard and come through their own individual struggles to get onto the team. They earned their place on the team and she had no right to question their place nor does she have the right to fat shame or judge their performance. From what I remember of her performance she was always trying to push the boundaries but it was always a mess and she could never pull it off.
There are so many interviews and quotes of Myk saying how horrible the Karoly (sp?) camp was and how Marta was mean and scary and would grab them by the back of the neck. She was the most outspoken about it at one time! I don’t think she even knows at this point wth she’s talking about. She’s trying to stay relevant but she comes off as rude, bitter and ignorant.
Sounds like jealousy
She might’ve gotten away with the apology if she hadn’t singled out Simone. By doing that, you’re automatically including every other gymnast in your complaint
She singled out Suni too by making remarks about her body type. Wth was she even thinking? Smh.
@@mysticalmargaret6105oh my goodness; what did she say about Suni’s body type?! I missed that
@@mysticalmargaret6105 weird behavior, truly
You wouldn't even know MS was an Olympian/NCAA athlete. I think it's merely sour grapes because three have successfully sandwiched NCAA careers between two Olympic Team memberships. The salt is real on the 2x Alternate, who has leveraged her career quite well. It seems she holds deep resentment for the blessings, lacking in gratitude for the favor bestowed upon her in exchange for relishing in favor of others. Being an alternate who bagged a silver medal on vault is not to spat on. Many Olympians return home with the experience and are grateful for achieving qualifications when so many can only dream of putting together a successful journey towards it.
But it all goes to show you that you can have a bucket of sand and someone who owns an entire paradise island can still envy your bucket of sand.
She always says something about the WOC gymnasts doesn’t she?
Did MyKayla forget that she mentioned each gymnast (except Simone Biles) by name when criticizing them?
She should’ve just sat there and ate her food
Mckayla skinner was the one bragging about how she was able to eat everything she wanted and how it didn’t affect her gymnastics, and how she just took a year of gymnastics because she was bored of it🤦🏻♀️
They are always "misunderstood" after they do what they do ... smh... as if everyone else are the idiots and everyone somehow misunderstood you
Mykayla Skinner is pathetic. She has always been an alternate. 2014 is the only world team she made where she actually competed. She won only 1 individual medal at worlds; a bronze on vault. She made the 2016 Olympic team as an alternate and thought she should have made the main team over Gabby Douglass, despite the fact she had nothing to offer the team. Her two “strengths” of vault and floor were covered. And her execution is horrible. Tim Dagget said it right: her routines were too hard for her.
She has no empathy or sympathy for the young women that were injured and only saw that she might - have finally- made the main team! And she wouldn’t have. Hezely Rivera might not have the highest difficulty but her execution is amazing. She still would have been picked over Skinner even if Skinner came in 5th.
Everybody showing their real colors and what they felt for each other all this time.
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy is a "B"
Anyone remember the movie " "Stick It"? Excellent movie. It's about young gymnasts sticking their landing in competitions...There's always that one girl pissing and moaning about everyone else cause she thinks she's so great🙄
Suni got bronze on bars. Not beam. I swear news outlets always get something wrong when reporting on gymnastics
She’s so Rude and Back peddling…Who Is she talking about then?
* Pedaling
She’s lying and she knows it. She meant it all about this team. She picked at Suni not having a gymnasts body after her kidney issues. I was like: huh? She’s been extremely sick and she managed to get back to elite level better than before in one year. I’ve not ever seen that happen without hard work. Well, I take that back….Courtney Kupets did it in ‘04. ❤
She claims she was talking about the athletes at the gym she goes too 😳 which doesn’t even make her comments better either lol
@heatherwicker9990 I didn't see her original video - what is she saying is wrong with Suni's body? I love that gymnasts come in different shapes and sizes and there isn't a specific body type. Suni looked great in the last Olympics and looks great now! Commenting on someone else's body in general is rude and uncalled for. The only exception I could see is possibly regarding height because it makes a difference on the way skills are performed, especially on bars...but making comments on body type...? Like I said I didn’t see the video, but really hope she didn't say anything negative about Suni's body - I love Suni's gymnastics she is so graceful and elegant and her movements always look so fluid.
Temu's jealousy is so intense 😂.
I'm done not Temu😂😂
Is this an AI voice or an actual broadcast journalist? Technology is freaking me out.
Theres entire songs that are ai but sound like known artists
She’s a real one for this lol USA gymnastics just lost its flair. Compare this team to a weiber, raisman, Douglass, Ross, maroney . Every person on that team was a super star and had this magic.
I’m excited for this team. It seems to be a well rounded team of All-Arounders and that’s amazing. Holding space everyone stays in perfect health and nails all their routines. ❤❤❤
Who is this?
No one misinterpreted. Take a good look in the mirror, girl.
In Mykaylas whole carreer She has 6 Medals LOL!! The jealousy is obvious
Taste like sour grapes to me.
The athletes are already too tough on themselves, hence the injuries. And much of the 2024 team is the same as the 2020(2021) team. I'm not sure why she would say what she did.
“Think before you speak” applies here. I don’t think Mykayla realized when she was speaking that she was endorsing the Karolyi’s abusive training techniques by saying flat out that the athletes, pre SafeSport, were better trained than the ones after but that’s what she said, and as my mother used to say “think hard before you speak because once the words come out of your mouth, there is no way of getting them back.”
Unfortunately, I think any chance Mykayla might have had of working for a major network as a commentator, or for USA Gymnastics is gone forever. In fact, I’m not sure any gym would hire her at this point. With one short youtube post she destroyed some pretty big opportunities.
I find it ironic that she says that as someone who wrongly got her Moors credited half the time
You said exactly what you meant so get out of here with that when you got backlash you are just trying to clean up what you said and what you meant I'm so sick of people are always saying stuff and then you got to come back and apologize learn how to keep your mouth shut if you can't say something nice just keep your mouth shut
One of the things I always taught my niece is that nobody has a right to touch you in your privates.
It’s like the “pants” song. What you do in the bathroom is Your business, and no one has the right to touch you.
Period. End Paragraph.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a doctor, if you don’t feel comfortable with someone seeing you or touching you, then you need to get another doctor.
Larry Nasser should be Banned from medicine. I don’t know how someone like that could even Become a doctor.
Good for Simone!
She is unrecognizable! How much of plastic surgery did she have? I really like this 2024 team. Sunny Li, Jade and obviously the legend Simon! Can’t wait to watch them soon !!
I thought the same thing! She’s definitely had plastic surgery!
Simone didn't even need to respond....
Not out of context.
No one knows who she is !
Actually, some do know who she is - but for all the wrong reasons.
Simone is 27 born 3/14/1997 and is the oldest female Artistic Gymnast to make the US Women's Gymnastic team for the Olympics in 72 yrs. since Marian Barone did aged 28 for Helsinki Olympics in 1952 and only the 2nd Woman Of Color to make 3 consecutive Olympic teams behind Dominique Dawes who did so for Barcelona 1992 Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000 and was a couple months short of her 24th birthday when the team won Bronze in Team All Around at Sydney on Sept 20th 2000 individual all around medals were awarded on 21st September and the individual Apparatus medals were handed out on Sept 23 and 25th if I remember Correctly it would be nice to see the men's team win team all around Gold again they haven't in 40 yrs. since Los Angeles in 1984 though that team did have some Icons on it such as Bart Conner Tim Daggett and Mitch Gaylord. also Women on Uneven Bars do the Gaylord Flip and connect it to a release move like a Hindorff or Khorkina not another flip like a Comaneci named after Nadia who is married to Bart Conner and they have an 18 year old son Dylan who is also a Gymnast not the only former Olympians child to be eligible for the team this year so was Dominique Moceanu's Daughter Carmen born Dec 25th 2007 and her son Vincent is eligible for the men's team in 2028 as he was born March 13th 2009 naturally guys are taller/heavier than the girls for instance Simone Biles is 4 Ft 8 in and 104 LBs while Bart Conner when he was competing was 1.6764 m or 5 Ft 6 in and 140 LBs of course you shrink with age and injury Bart is 5 Ft 3 in now of course Simone like Shannon Miller is a 7 time Olympic Medalist 4 Gold 1 Silver 2 Bronze while Millers are 2 Silver 3 Bronze 2 Gold funny enough Miller's highest score in 1992 was on uneven bars 9.96 .4 off of Gold on that event and .2 off silver which was Tatiana Gutsu of Unified team who was 6 mos. older than Miller their birthdays are Sept 5th 1976 and March 10th 1977 respectively also Tatiana was 4 Ft 11 in while Miller was 4 Ft 6 in tall at 15 years old and was 5 Ft 1 in in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics had Shannon Miller not dislocated her knee at the trials in 2000 she would've made her 3rd Olympic team and won team Bronze again and maybe Gold on Beam and Floor which would've given her 10 medals which would've tied her for 3rd place with Agnes Keleti of Hungary and Polina Ashtakova of Soviet Union instead of in a 6 way tie for 6th place with 7
Skinner was & still is a mean girl. No one remembers a second place mean girl.
Jealousy and no one is paying attention to her anymore….
Go away you has been
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿❤❤❤
IF people misunderstood what you were saying it's because you weren't clear....the onus is on the person speaking to make sure that his or her perspective is understood properly.....She should have clarified that she was talking about gymnasts that she has seen where she works or does gymnastics but I'm skeptical....I think she got checked by the greatest most decorated gymnast in the world and now she is walking her comments back......while trying to protect her ego at the same time....This is a non apology She basically said sorry u misunderstood what I meant....but we didn't....
she shouldn't have to apologize for 95% of people taking her words completely out of context. she was speaking her truth from her experience.
Mykala just ruined herself . Such a dumb thing to say
She had to realize what she said. & saying it now during the upcoming Olympics. Lol, so she's basically calling the new team sorry
She shouldn’t have apologized cause she meant what she said. Stand on it! So now she looks like an even bigger a-hole and seems jealous.
Says the woman who went to the Olympics and won 2nd place
that's one rotten apple.
She isn't sorry. She needs to stop talking.
Black Excellence And She Mad? Ooh
The only reason she has her silver is because Simone stepped aside
“not everyone needs a mic and a platform”;
end of the alt-wrong in an instant.
She was being a poor sport, made disrespectful comments, and an insincere apology where she makes excuses for her actions by blaming Marta. She also made specific references. She didn’t name drop, but we know who she was talking about. She fell twice and still got second because the rest of it was that good. It didn’t ‘come out wrong’, she realized people didn’t side with her.
Who is she?
Simone literally burned her to the ground and it’s not even a joke
If you're going to have an opinion that's fine but don't apologize for it because you just come across as fan insincere
Get the medals keep your opinions and apologies no one needs either
Id really like to give Makayla the benefit of the doubt, but this was really bad. I do not think she purposely meant to hurt anyone. But she was a little judgmental and opinionated. But sport has changed.She's absolutely right and granted.There's probably some snowflakes out there.However, the girls that made the team and all of the ones that I see trained so hard for almost their entire lives.And they deserve the accolades they recei.Don't think there's a work ethic issue. The sport has changed for the longevity of the athlete as well as their current competitive health and well being
❤ I love Simone the person the other port to come with her is all extra. She is a wonderful person. Thanks for that Simone I love.
Man that silver medal really went to her head 😑🙄 a medal that you only had the chance to get because Simone had the twisties and pulled out. Literally no one wants your opinion
Am sure it’s not one comment. There has to be a history
If she had made herself more clear the first time she would’ve to do it now. Say what mean and mean what say 🙄
Lmao if she wasn’t saying anything suspicious, her video wouldn’t have gotten deleted #fake #cancelled
It takes guts to come out and say you sorry. Don't be too harsh
This someone desperately wanting attention no matter what!
we all know she was jealous because those girls are 10x more talented than her
She got to compete as a second choice in her Olympics
Envious mediocre gymnast! She was a good tumbler and vaulter, but had horrible forms!
She’s just sad she lost followers & friends
I don’t know her
❤ I love Simone the person the other port to come with her is all extra. She is a wonderful person. Thanks for that Simone I love.😮 Makayla meant just what she said. You are jealous of Simone admitted. They are not girls they are young ladies, outstanding young ladies. Can you say that about yourself let me answer it for you no.😮
Apologize for telling the truth? I’m sick of this generation and how sensitive they are 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️😑😑😑
😊I am all about……
Truth, Transparency, Accountability, Strength, and Simone Biles of TEAM USA truly represents:
“All-Of-That”…….
I ❤her for that!!!!!!!!
Amen🙏🏾
JEALOUS!!!! Typical Behavior of them
The quality of gymnastics isn‘t the same as in 2012 or 2016. it has decreased drastically.
she was right about that.
But still rude and unnecessary.
The quality declined because the farm of talent had dried up and left. Trust was broken. Other options and paths to success. Talent will be there because the kids will still reach for it if their parents/sponsors apply the investment. But many more will go to college and brand themselves away from the Olympic path and take their dreams elsewhere. After #LA28, the US will be sending more indiv. specialists in years to come. This is happening globally. US colleges are recruiting international gymnasts through world events that occur annually, to come to their sports programs too.
White women being white women
GO CANADA DON'T LIKE BILES😂😂😂😂😂😂
Geez, people want to start drama all the time, like no one can say what they feel or want anymore because 100% of the world population doesn’t agree. So we should cancel all social media and news outlets. Mykayla voiced her opinion and not everyone should agree, I don’t agree with a lot of things a lot of other people say and I move on with my life and forget about it.
So you can't respond if you disagree 🤷🏼♀️
A comment is one thing she took the time to make a whole video! So who the sensitive one here?
Ikr
She is basically questioning why the gymnastics training isnt as hard as before. And "before" is well know to have left many young athletes being victims of abuse, verbally and physically. So no, this is not about collapsing because she shared an innocent opinion, this is calling her out for her twisted ways of thinking.
I think yall making her comments bigger than what they were. All she's saying is that it was harder to get selected for the olympic team years ago than it is now ... what's wrong with that? It's the truth. Even the tone from the sports newscasters has changed in recent years. It IS weird to see gymnasts fall and STILL go to the Olympics. 🤷🏾♀️
At this point only a transgender gymnast can beat Simone Biles
All of the people tearing Myk down for WINNING a silver medal at the OLYMPICS are just as bad as her. None of you all could be half the gymnast Myk was. Two wrongs don't make a right
I think she is just telling the truth to be honest.
This forum isn’t for you.
I mean it’s her opinion
I have an opinion of MyKayla however it’s Not appropriate for RUclips so I’ll just Shut My Mouth and not be rude
Sorry, it wasn’t just her opinion. She actually took the video down because she was saying a lot of things that were factually completely incorrect. Like, some very basic historical gymnastics facts that she was presenting as truth and when fact checked by others, they just were completely wrong and it made her look really, ignorant, so that was the main reason the video was actually taken down.
there's a difference between having an opinion and stating opinion as fact, red + blue make purple, calling it green is an opinion not based on fact
I agree with Skinner
No you don't
Ya okay. Attention seeker.
Wow, we found the "edgy" commenter.
