MyKayla Skinner Says Simone Biles Supported Her After ‘Devastating’ Olympics

Ойын-сауық

Gymnast MyKayla Skinner chatted with Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans after her Olympic dream was cut short after she failed to qualify at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. MyKayla praised fellow teammate Simone Biles for showing her support during the difficult time. “I texted (Simone) that night and I was like, ‘I’m crying, I can’t keep it in.’ I talked to her this morning and she was like, ‘I was about to come into your room but I was like, I’m just gonna let you be. Soak it all in, you know.’ Definitely a lot of tears shed last night,” MyKayla said.

But the team was chosen fairly and so was the alternate spot. MyKayla did deserve a spot in the 2016 olympics though. Taking Madison and Gabbie over MyKayla was not fair. Grace is also very cool and collected, which is a great benefit.

But, because they are from the same country, only the top 2 scorers from each country can compete for a medal. That’s why Mykayla was inched out of vault finals. Jade and Simone got higher scores than her. Hope that makes sense! If there was no 2 per country rule Mykayla would be doing vault final and indivodual all around final.

    Well. Next olympics are coming in three years from now, not four as usual. MyKayla could definitely take advantage of this short-period-preparation to make a comeback for the 2024 olympics as gabby and Aly did. This three - year-period-preparation is a once in a lifetime opportunity every gymnast should take advantage of

    Gymnast typically retire quite early. Only a few are able to make it past that early mid-twenties or even mid. I definitely hope MyKayla would come back, but your body really does some weird stuff when you do gymnasts for too long. MyKayla does some explaining in her video about being a gymnast for 19 years does to her body, and even her in this video, saying her and Simone’s body are broken.

She deserved so much better than what she was given time and time again and she is resilient. Idk what’s going on with Simone, if she pulls out of competition indefinitely after team finals today, she’s in for vault. I’m praying Simone makes it but you can’t count anyone out ever.

    I'm here just wondering if a part of the mental struggle of Simone Biles is partially because MyKayla wasn't selected. I know it will not be the only thing in her head but seeing Simone posting pictures with MyKayla and MyKayla talking about Simone they seem to be really good friends that truly care for eachother and support eachother. So if you're struggling mentally it's very valuable to have someone like that by your side. So sad that they couldn't perform together. Although the selected team is amazing to offcourse

Why do the LGBTQs have their own category to compete against men and women.why only challenge black women or white women. If they dont take the harmones during training their male testoterone takes over. Isn't that CHEATING?
