Wow you can see her power and talent on floor and vault, and also her general focused and poised demeanor (I adimire that about her, her mental strength and consistency). And you can also see how hard she worked on bars since then

Honestly she was so good!! Im really glad she made it to the olympics.

Almost another lifetime later, her dream of going to the Olympics came true!

Wow she had awesome energy then 👏 I'm so happy she got that sliver medal 🏅

My heart ❤. I love this “old home video”

I like watching Women's Gymnastics, Mykayla did a Good job doing it ... 🙂

Thx for posting!

She had better form here on some events than as an elite

But, exact SAME form on her back acro series on the beam. Also her technique on her turn on the beam never changed from what it was here. Just totally interesting.

I recall her talking about having tight tendons- not good flexibility. More difficult to keep legs looking straight and flexing ankles fully. I think she did the best she could with what she was working with 😅

she had the same "just let me live thru this" face before her routines as she does now

her lack of flexibility is so apparent in her leaps omg

If she only knew the amazing journey she would embark on in the sport… world champion team member TWICE, heartbreak as an Olympic alternate in 2016, stellar collegiate career and then an Olympic silver medalist!! What a legend.

Tem que tirar o chapéu é determinada com 13 anos fora de série orgulho

Wow! She’s come a long way. She looks so different now. No facial comparison from a child to teen to adult because it would look like 3 different people! She looks so different now!

A very talented and beautiful girl. She remembers me at Nadia Comaneci, a famous girl from Romania, many years ago. In any case, I wish her much success furthermore and never to have an accident.

Her form never got better. It actually got worse smh

It is at this point I wish WOGA or preferably Chow had gotten her to change gyms. They could've calmly progressed her skill level while improve her basics.

I can’t believe she was doing all this crazy stuff at 13. I’m 13 and I’m in platinum 😂

​@Diana-kk6qz it doesn't matter where you start but where you finish. Kathy Johnson didn't even begin gymnastics until age 12 and became an Olympian at 24. These days, women do gymnastics into their 30s, so there's no rush.

Her coaches claim that they just wanted her to work on difficulty and that she would get bored. Working on fixing incorrect technique and I think that really impacted her

before she was a superstar

I truly believe if they would've invested in her bars forms she would've been in any all around competition, specifically her releases which could've given her a much higher start value, she clearly had power which she could've used to make up for lack of flexibility, they really did wrong not investing in those type of skills

Prior to her catching Covid she was supposed to have a bars routine that was meant to be the most difficult bars routine but she never got a chance to compete it as Covid has weakened her a little bit so her bars wasn’t as difficult as they had originally planned

Well that was adorable

She's so beautiful

Practice makes perfect

I love her

I'm amazed at the instant speed that gymnasts get on take off into a jump and the height they get from it, beside the amazing memory it takes to get a routine down like they do

This music has Tasha Swaggart all over it

Good performance! Great job! Great girl! Yay for her trainer and her parents also!

my favorite gymnast ever!

I m going to try this tomorrow, don't tell anyone. What I'm going to do.🍺

‘she’s done camps at the ranch’ didnt age well

Just realized. Isn’t this the same floor music that Carly Patterson used?

Wow time flies man!!

What music is this?

Nice

Would love to be her brother!

blonde pretty and all nonwhite so jealous

She is not Nasty Looking at all !

She is The Mykayla Skinner?..She did have the trademark FX power..

She looks so much better without all the lashes & excessive makeup. She looks so fake now.

Грязное исполнение, при вращении уводит, оступается.

Ma Kay Kay? I think she is a little too old for that
