I loved and miss Nastia’s live commentary! I too hope she is doing well and I don’t know much about why she stopped live commentary. I hope it was her decision and what is best for her mental well-being. After personally struggling with an ED my entire life I have learned it’s never helpful to comment on peoples’ bodies, online or in person, celebrity or not. With that being said, in my opinion, Nastia has always seemed to stay in a similar body type after retirement, so maybe she is mentally and physically well- we cannot tell based solely on looks alone. I too hope she is doing well. I also hope that some of these comments about her body (even ones simply out of concern) do not inadvertently encourage her to continue an ED if she does have one. I’ve learned that Comments “good” or “bad” about one’s body can be destructive especially if one does or did struggle with an ED or body image (and many people can be insecurity about being too thin or too tall etc.) Again, I don’t know if she has an ED or Body Dysmorphia, but if she does, comments about her body are not going to help her. It seems most peoples’ comments here are mostly out of concern and hope she is doing well and not shaming her, which is nice, but again we do not know a persons mental or physical state based on looks alone. People can be healthy at all sizes. As I said, of course I hope she is doing well and I hope all the athletes are continuing to heal after all the trauma they endured- they deserve that peace. Much love to everyone and Go USA!! 🇺🇸
Im so glad they are calling out Mykayla, her comments were completely wrong and her apology was even worse. She fully deserves all the heat she's been getting in my opinion
Actually what she said wasn't wrong, I do feel this is a problem with the way gymnasts are being coddled and trained. It could actually work against them in the future, if the training is not as hard as it used to be.
@@AcesAngels How are the gymnasts being coddled? Imo Mykayla is struggling with moving on from her athletic career and said some things out of jealousy.
@@savstrange Well this year, those girls were still trained under the previous regime, we won't get a real look at it until 2032 at the earliest with the new training techniques.
@@ccampbell10113 They're not being trained as hard as previous regimes, so this is a sign of coddling them. People are looking at MyKayla as a villain or some jealous scorned former athlete. I think people will see in due time that MyKayla was in fact telling the truth.
I love Hezly but we can’t lie and say the injuries didn’t greatly benefit her. She would be unlikely to be on this team without them. Nastia predicted her because her dad is her coach 😅
@@KelsMarie-mg6wb This is not what if, this is THE REALITY. Injury is extremely sad, but prevention of injury involves proper pacing, knowing your limit and some luck. Valeri is lucky that he doesn’t plan those 6.6 bars and beam to her to make the team.
I kinda wish they would specify the women's artistic gymnastics team... Because they brought out the rest of the gymnastics team which included the 2 rhythmic gymnasts and a trampoline gymnast I think... I feel bad that they're not included in the hype for the sport! But across all disciplines, they're going to do so well
In a sport that has a long history of indoctrinating and forcing EDs onto its athletes, I have the utmost sympathy and compassion for Nastia. I hope she is well.
Why are people commenting on her weight so much? She’s always been this thin! Even when she competed in the Olympics, her body type wasn’t the typical boxy gymnast body. Have people forgotten this is an elite athlete? Just because she’s retired from the sport doesn’t mean that she would just let herself go. She is on the thinner side, but she does not look sickly or weak! She’s of Russian descent, a lot of them share the same body type.
@@kyleswingle5844 Concern for another human being, as expressed in the comments here, is important. Your sole purpose seems to be to stop people voicing concern, which you are free to do, but so but so are others who choose to voice their care in a different way to you.
I worry about how much weight she’s lost.. she looks unhealthy now. I really hope she has her family keeping a close eye on her. Hope she gets the help she needs.
It's not your place to decide if someone needs help or not. I really hope her close family and friends are not keeping a close eyes on her. Worry about yourself, not a person you don't know at all.
About Mykayla’s comments…i think they did one good thing…and thats bringing people together to appreciate EVERYONE. It use to be the “simone show” and simone was the one receiving all the attention and accolades. I think once Skinner said what she said…the public remembered that the Olympic team has 5 members…not one. They showed their appreciation and respect to the other 4 members.
@@Fliptwisttt245 It is not Simine's fault that the media focuses on her more than the other athletes.

I remember seeing a news feed with her skating with Evan Lysacek where I believe he was teaching her to skate. I don't remember what year, but I assume it was after 2010 when he won the Olympics. She looked so healthy and happy at the time and I was happy for her that she felt comfortable enough to enjoy her success and have a normal body. I really hope that she can find that level of peace and health again. She looked so good.
I know you didn’t mean any harm, But it’s not helpful to say you wish she was comfortable to have a “normal” body again. It’s actually really hurtful to say things like that
