I just wanna say thank you to Mykayla for even filming this journey. I can’t imagine how stressful life must be for her right now but she’s still taking the time to show us some behind the scenes. I feel absolutely blessed and privileged to watch in (almost) real time the goings on of her and team USA. Can’t wait to watch all of them these next 2 weeks, the amount of pride I have for these girls just makes me well up 🥺
Right? I mean if she doesn't get medals (which we hope she does!) she's still doing something so unique that will remain as a very special and valuable legacy!
Ok, I love how authentic this girl is. She always says exactly how she feels, but acknowledges that she is fortunate and grateful for the opportunity. Best of luck, girl.
I never realized how much tape/stuff gymnasts need…I also didn’t realize that they brought their own. I thought Team USA would provide tape, chalk and wraps. D everything
Tape and wraps are always brought by the gymnasts but I think usually chalk is provided by Team USA. This year bc of covid, each gymnast has to bring their own brushes, bottles, and chalk for their grips.
If you've seen the last episode of Golden, you'll see Tom going up to Morgan and others who did not made the national team and consoling them. Such a contrast to ignoring and throwing gymnasts aside that we're used to under Marta when one fails to perform to expectations.
I feel like Tom truly cares about them. You can see him giving advice and checking in ok them. I feel like since Martha left there's been a lot less injuries and the athletes seem happier and healthier. So outside of what I think about how he handles some things I truly respect him for all that.
"If I wasn't good enough, I wouldn't be here" . This women seems to have an incredibly disciplined mindset. This is why I love the Olympics. The best of the best in the world all locked in aiming for one goal and now we have youtube and social media and we get to witness up close and personal their mindset and work habits.
Please don’t feel the need to keep apologizing for not filing a lot. We appreciate everything you’ve been putting out! And totally understand ! Go get it girl. !!!!!!!!
Honestly if this is the only "MyK at the Olympics" video we get, it's still so amazing and cool! Stay focused on what you need to do for yourself, anything else is another bonus for us! Go MyK!
I am a registered dietitian (nutritionist) for gymnasts and lovveeee that you brought snacks and are enjoying all the food!! Yes so common for your stomach to be upset with traveling and with stress, sorry you had to deal with that. Wishing you and team USA the best of luck!!! Rooting for you all!!
I hate how people and you say you're not a part of the team. You ARE a part of Team USA, even if your scores don't count. YOU made the team, YOU are good enough, YOU will succeed.
@@luyzo92 So there is the team of 4 on USA and 2 Individual Specialist spots. The 4 for Team USA compete on all 4 events and can compete in the all around, all their scores count towards the all around. The specialists (Jade and Mykayla) are also on team USA as an individual, which means, they can compete all events, do event finals and team all around finals, however, their scores don't contribute to team USA, hence why they're an "Individual specialist".
I love the positive talk. Mykayla, you are a world class athlete. You deserve to be in Tokyo. You deserve to be an individual and competing in the all around. You deserve everything that you have worked so hard for! Congratulations from Canada!
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! You have probably heard this but a warm wash rag pressed on the stress pimple for 15 min, then ice for 15 min might really help. I get the same crazy stress pimples when I travel and I never have treatment products with me. But I do tend to have access to a rag, warm water, and ice. Woohoo!
Oh girl, I can feel your anxiety through the screen when you're packing. Just remember YOU MADE IT TO THE OLYMPICS!!!!! You did something very very few people do. You have accomplished your dream! You worked hard... you know this... you got this!!
I was heartbroken when you realized you would not qualify for the vault during the prelims, but was still so proud of you for making the team. Now I am heartbroken your OG Grandma-in-crime has had to withdraw from the competition (fingers crossed she can compete in the beam) but over the moon you are getting your shot at an individual medal. From a life-long Red Rocks supporter I can't wait to see you take the world by storm in a short few hours! Good luck, MyKayla, but no matter what, you hold your head high because you are golden in my eyes!
This was such a nice surprise this morning! So many of us are thinking of all of you...I’ve been rewatching all of your meets (from all time ever 😂), because I’m so excited for you! We’re counting down the days too! So cool to hear how it’s going on “behind the scenes”. Thanks for sharing with us! Can’t wait for Sunday! 😘💪🏼 🇺🇸🤸🥇👑
Big thanks to Mykayla for finding time to film during one of the most exciting events of her life! And thanks to Jonas for putting it all together for us! We appreciate and love you both ❤️
My heart breaks for you myk but just remember life isn’t about achievements. I hope you walk away from that Olympic stage proud to finally be an official Olympian
Just making it to the olympics is an incredible achievement, especially after all the drama and uncertainty in the last 18 months. You are a winner and an inspiration no matter what the outcome of the competition may be.
good luck in tokyo!! when you’re back (and hopefully able) you should do a “team usa” gear collection from this olympics!♥️🇺🇸 sending you all the love! you got this myk!
The fact that you got this far is an incredible feat even though you've had years of waiting and now you are here taking the moment and enjoy all that it has to offer. Congratulations and good luck. We're all rooting for team USA
Listening to you talk about how cool it would be to get a medal then seeing on your Instagram that you DID! What in inspiration I have loved watching your journey 💕💕💕
MyKayla I’m sure I speak for everyone on this comment thread.. THANK YOU!.. It is so amazing to be able to see some of the inside journey with you girls, even with all the craziness you’re having to deal with this time around.. We are all wishing you girls the best and cheering you on LOUDLY even though you can’t hear us physically there. We are so proud of you and know no matter what the outcome you will make the USA proud! Gettum Girl!! 💪😉🏅
Don't think or feel negatively about your experience as an alternate. I coach junior curling. Selecting an alternate is difficult. We have to choose someone who is strong in everything, flexible in being able to fit in anywhere, and consistent to perform with little notice. These are very strong skills needed as a team athlete. #GOTEAMUSA
You’re not good enough… you’re GREAT ENOUGH!!! Just look after yourself both physically and mentally and enjoy every moment as this is a once in a lifetime thing. So proud of you! Just keep being you and you’ve got this!
I know that you are super busy and I’m sure stressed/overwhelmed so I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to vlog anything at all to bring us on this journey. I know it would be easier to just focus on preparing and you don’t need to be doing this for us. I just wanted you to know it is so appreciated
i find it funny that you didnt get all your colthes until you got there when team GB got their full kits weeks ago and they got suitcases and everything
"One step, one punch, one round at a time", MyK! Your positive and confident mindset is wonderful! With you in spirit and praying for your health and strength. xo Many thanks, Jonas, for the vlog mash up and the Melo action shots!
Imagine seeing this video and being that kid who waved to Simone 🤭😁 On a side note, Sunisa has the prettiest eyes, I can’t stop looking at them! The US has such a pretty team in general 🥰
“It’ll be weird that I won’t be watching it, I’ll be in it!” - MyKayla Very much deserved and well-earned!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 By the way, can you explain how they can still put you in the Team please?
I think she means if someone on the main team gets injured or something. They could put her on the team to compete as the 4th member and replace her in the individual spot with Kayla or Emma. That is if they didn’t choose to pull Kayla or Emma up to compete with the team.
This video is so special....100 X better than any cable news coverage of the olympics....this takes you inside the experience itself traveling with world class athletes. I don't know how these girls do this...the discipline, the workouts....wow. Great job to all of you for doing what you do!
Watching this from my bedroom in France, I'm feeling so privileged to get access to that! Thank you very much. Wish you the best for these games and the rest of your career :)
Im sure Melo was thinking with her head under the flap of the suitcase, “how can I sneak into this suitcase without Mom or dad noticing?” When Jonas asked if she was helping I imagined Melo saying “no I’m going with her! I’m just trying to find the perfect spot to stowaway”
All respect! So much work goes into it that most people have no concept of it’s dedicated lifestyle you have to live by for so many years! Thank you for your sacrifice and dedication! We support you and are proud of you!
Mykayla, I don't know if you will even see this comment because you have so many, but my heart is bursting for you! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos (and thanks to Jonas for the editing) in order to give us insight into what it's like to be an Olympian. You are such a bright light, you have the most positive outlook, you are an absolutely amazing human, an incredible role model, and you are sooooo resilient. I can't wait to watch the rest of your journey and I am hoping and praying for your to have so much success and happiness.
Yo USAG would have never allowed this filming before Simone and all the others bravely stood up for reform. So proud of all of you!! Thank you for sharing this journey with us!!!
I think they've also realised that it builds up support for the gymnasts and sport in general which can only be a good thing for their income in the future. Social media is becoming more and more and source of income directly and indirectly
Watching your podium training on TH-cam and felt like crying when watching you. I feel there’s something so special about you. I think your spirit has a lot to do with it and no one can take that away from you. My friend prayed for you today as I talk about you so much. Lots of love and prayers to you and your husband from Ireland xxxxxx
Congratulations on Silver! 🤸🏻♀️ Thank you for being mentally and physically strong and representing yourself and The United States of America in the Olympics.
I can only imagine the stress! Not having anyone there from your family, having to practice and be here and there, my stomach would be super unhappy with me too! You’re doing an amazing job and I’m so happy to hear the equipment is better than you hoped! I know y’all will do great! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Happy Birthday Jonas! You are an amazing husband and friend to our Myk! She’s lucky to have you! Go get’em Team USA! 🇺🇸🤸🏼♂️🏅🤩
Thank you very much beautiful MyKayla for taking us with you! I was really excited to see you girls in Tokyo just hanging around with all of us. I wish you the best wonderful experiences in life now and always. Infinite love, admiration, and respect for you. Blessings.
MyKayla, don’t worry about filming! Be present and enjoy your experience. This is a once in a lifetime experience and you should get to enjoy it fully without stressing over filming. We will all understand ❤️
Just wondering… is this surreal for you!? I can’t even imagine! Training your whole life and dreaming for this moment!! You got this girl! Do your best, and don’t forget to in joy yourself! 💗
Don't stress, just do your best 😌 bc everything is going to be alright! There's no limit on the ways you can bloom 🌹 Be proud of how far you've come. You deserve to be there and we are all rooting for you!! 🎉👏 Be yourself, there is no one better 💯
I got scared on the girls behalf at 17.00 in which I saw some of them signing their name on a wall! I would guess that SO many people have touched that wall too! I really don’t know what the organizing team of the Olympics are thinking! THAT wall must be a Covid hotspot! 😱 One if the girls signed her name, touched her phone and then touched her face! 😱 I hope non of them got infected there!! 🙏
ya'll are amazing just watching this stresses me out with all the traveling, packing going going going. You guys are all so calm. Im so stoked for all you guys your all gonna kill it CANNOT WAIT. Good luck GO USA xoxox
Love the brutal honesty MyKayla! It's not all roses and sunshine being an Olympian and I respect you showing the good, bad and ugly! Keep pushing. I am rooting for you and the rest of Team USA so hard! I hope everyone stays healthy and safe!
Your outlook is such an inspiration! You are focused and soaking in the experience. You will rock it! USA is soooo proud of you! Thank you for this amazing Olympian day-by-day vlog. Jonas, THANK YOU for editing this at breakneck speed!!
I love you and Jonas for sharing all this with us. I know it’s difficult with Covid to have to be in a hotel but I think they’re looking at safety like you said and you guys are going to do great. Thanks for sharing what it looks like they’re in Tokyo. We are all sending our love to you you’re gonna do great Mykayla!
I just want to say thank you to you and Jonas for taking the time to do this. No other gymnast that I’ve followed has ever given us an inside look at what it’s like to be there. Thank you! Take good care of yourself. Oh and for upset stomach: try some ginger if they will let you. I have a tincture I use and it settles my stomach in a minute or less. Good stuff! Good luck! Holding space that you make some event finals and bring home a medal or two or three! Have fun!
Thank god SOMEONE is doing a Tokyo vlog!! I searched the interwebs for hours trying to find other Olympic gymnast vlogs and nothing so THABK YOU! And you’re my fav so double whammy!
Yea only bc her husband is basically making her which is kinda fucked up. Athletes aren’t doing vlogs bc they are so focused and have so much on their plate
You are part of the team! I know what you meant but don’t consider yourself not part of the team because you are! You are amazing! Thank you so much for taking us along on your journey. I love this vlog. You girls are going to kill it!
I am so happy for you for making it to the Olympics. I've been cheering for you as you've worked to overcome so many obstacles. We are proud of you...... period!
You are where you are supposed to be Mykayla!! You have worked so hard and will be amazing!! We all have faith in you, feel the support and do your thing!! ❤️❤️❤️
Some reason I always thought your tape, and medical supplies would be provided by the Olympics or our country. Apparently I'm wrong. Kick A$$ in Tokyo, cheering for you from Philadelphia.
Also the part where they have to bring half of the leos themselves! I can understand if the USOC wanted to get the athletes a "sneak peek" before they go over, but don't make them pack am entire suitcase when they're trying to pack personal items!
@@katekramer7679 I'm sure they want athletes to try things on and make any adjustments, launder, etc. I couldn't wear newly-made clothes without washing due to my skin.
@Racheal Wood @Kate Kramer @Caitlin Tibbels & @Leo Wren You won’t see anyone sharing ANYTHING due to Covid. That is why they have their own chalk, tape, snacks, etc, etc. We won’t be seeing communal chalk stands because one rip of a hand in chalk opens up the door to an infection (& not just Covid). I didn’t see her pack an individual chalk bin, so maybe each country will share one, but we will see. Medical supplies, besides the approved OTC list, are 100% provided by the team doctors as are therapy products. The leo’s being matched with the proper undergarments is vital & they have to take their own practice leo’s & warm up clothes. Their main outfits are in the 3 bags delivered to their rooms (talk about a hefty luggage fee coming home 😳, hopefully Jonas & her family can take a couple of bags with them, lol)! As Caitlin said re: tape, every athlete sees different types of trainers & Joe (her therapist from Mayo Clinic) has her doing very specific ankle tapings, plus tape is used on almost every apparatus! I order supplies & injections for a Rheumatology & PM/R office, & the cost of tape & pre-tape (from one of the largest medical suppliers in the US) is insane! A box of pre-tape (or Coban) is more expensive than a box of syringes w/needles attached. So Myk was packing 💸💸 in supplies! Crazy town right? Regardless, I hope that Joe gave her the bags of tape & I’m just so insanely excited & proud at how far she’s come! Saying tons of prayers that she stays healthy, confident & gets to compete in multiple events! Two more weeks 💜🙏🏻!
This confirms my personal hypothesis that the last few floors I've seen you all compete on seemed messed up/crappy/sounded bad/had horrible rebound. SO excited to see you all compete. Stay safe and healthy! Sending you all happy healthy vibes. (EDITED + I really love your candidness..the zits..the poops. Thanks for being real. I also get the poops when I'm stressed. Totally normal lol.)
I get diarrhea too. I notice when Jonah (sorry if spelled wrong) was showing her stuff when packing there was a box of Imodium and was curious if she gets stress diarrhea and well seems she does. Thankfully she thought ahead
Good luck in vault finals. I commented yesterday saying I was hoping for this to happen. lol. I mentioned that then maybe Simone will come back for at least one event later. Would be nice to have you win gold and Jade win silver on vault, Suni win gold on beam, and Simone gold on floor.
I'm so sorry you didnt qualify for any event finals myk! But I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PROUD OF YOU!!!! You have come so far and you are an Olympian. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!
It'd be really cool to see a "what I got at the Olympics" unpacking/unboxing video!!
YESSSSSSS
that looked like SOOO MUCH fun it’s always fun to get new gear for any sport!! i would also love to see a haul! 🤍
It'll be even cooler if one of those things is a medal! Which I really hope she gets one while there!

Literally! And her husband for editing and recording most of her vids!
Yes, thank you thank you to them both for dedicating their time and energy to share this!! Take care of you, MyKayla and kick ass!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Ok, I love how authentic this girl is. She always says exactly how she feels, but acknowledges that she is fortunate and grateful for the opportunity. Best of luck, girl.
Kerry Witherspoon..Yes, she's very genuine.
i even love that she talked about having diarrhea lol so real
Right lol we learned that she suffers from diarrhea before floor exercise sometimes
This didn’t age well
@@acantz yeah, she done lost her mind.
I never realized how much tape/stuff gymnasts need…I also didn’t realize that they brought their own. I thought Team USA would provide tape, chalk and wraps. D everything

Very off topic, but their cat IS SO PRETTY!!🥲

Hi Kate
Love how chill Tom is about you filming. Martha would NEVER.

Looking at that suitcase of snacks makes me even MORE sad you all can't explore the city because of COVID - Japan has a lot of cool snacks to try!
Hopefully some will be available in the village - I hope they get to visit more than once
Lucy Wallis The American team isn’t staying in the village. They decided to stay in a hotel instead.
They have stores in the village.
Maybe after they’ve competed

In other news, Simone Biles kills a guy, after she waves at him.
I still cant believe she withdrew
Lol me too
“It’ll be weird that I won’t be watching it, I’ll be in it!” - MyKayla
Very much deserved and well-earned!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 By the way, can you explain how they can still put you in the Team please?
What can she still make team finals?? How??
I think she means if someone on the main team gets injured or something. They could put her on the team to compete as the 4th member and replace her in the individual spot with Kayla or Emma. That is if they didn’t choose to pull Kayla or Emma up to compete with the team.
I would love to see a haul of all the clothes and gear you got when you get the chance!
#GoForGold
MyKayla and Simones relationship is so sweet! They are both amazing and talented athletes and people! I would love to meet them one day!
This video is so special....100 X better than any cable news coverage of the olympics....this takes you inside the experience itself traveling with world class athletes. I don't know how these girls do this...the discipline, the workouts....wow. Great job to all of you for doing what you do!
Watching this from my bedroom in France, I'm feeling so privileged to get access to that! Thank you very much. Wish you the best for these games and the rest of your career :)
Sorry Myk but Melo stole the show here 🤣🤣🤣 love this vlog ! Team Myk Tokyo!! 🇺🇸 Happy Birthday Jonas !
Im sure Melo was thinking with her head under the flap of the suitcase, “how can I sneak into this suitcase without Mom or dad noticing?” When Jonas asked if she was helping I imagined Melo saying “no I’m going with her! I’m just trying to find the perfect spot to stowaway”
Hahaha true !
All respect! So much work goes into it that most people have no concept of it’s dedicated lifestyle you have to live by for so many years! Thank you for your sacrifice and dedication! We support you and are proud of you!
Mykayla, I don't know if you will even see this comment because you have so many, but my heart is bursting for you! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos (and thanks to Jonas for the editing) in order to give us insight into what it's like to be an Olympian. You are such a bright light, you have the most positive outlook, you are an absolutely amazing human, an incredible role model, and you are sooooo resilient. I can't wait to watch the rest of your journey and I am hoping and praying for your to have so much success and happiness.
Proud of you all ladies...Wishing you all the best of luck. You are all Champions and you should be very proud.
Thanks for sharing an Olympian's perspective of getting to the games and what you had to go through.
I literally have never clicked so fast!! I am so excited to watch this vlog :)))!!!
Yo USAG would have never allowed this filming before Simone and all the others bravely stood up for reform. So proud of all of you!! Thank you for sharing this journey with us!!!
I think they've also realised that it builds up support for the gymnasts and sport in general which can only be a good thing for their income in the future. Social media is becoming more and more and source of income directly and indirectly
Watching your podium training on TH-cam and felt like crying when watching you. I feel there’s something so special about you. I think your spirit has a lot to do with it and no one can take that away from you.
My friend prayed for you today as I talk about you so much.
Lots of love and prayers to you and your husband from Ireland xxxxxx
Congratulations on Silver! 🤸🏻♀️ Thank you for being mentally and physically strong and representing yourself and The United States of America in the Olympics.
This is SO COOL! Getting to see something people have only ever imagined. Thank you for taking us on this journey.
I can only imagine the stress! Not having anyone there from your family, having to practice and be here and there, my stomach would be super unhappy with me too! You’re doing an amazing job and I’m so happy to hear the equipment is better than you hoped! I know y’all will do great! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Happy Birthday Jonas! You are an amazing husband and friend to our Myk! She’s lucky to have you! Go get’em Team USA! 🇺🇸🤸🏼♂️🏅🤩
Thank you very much beautiful MyKayla for taking us with you! I was really excited to see you girls in Tokyo just hanging around with all of us. I wish you the best wonderful experiences in life now and always. Infinite love, admiration, and respect for you. Blessings.
MyKayla !! Team MyKayla all te way ! You got this girl ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🎉🎉🎉💕
MyKayla, don’t worry about filming! Be present and enjoy your experience. This is a once in a lifetime experience and you should get to enjoy it fully without stressing over filming. We will all understand ❤️
Breathe, remember ur love of the sport as a child and keep it simple!! You are a class act!!!
Just wondering… is this surreal for you!? I can’t even imagine! Training your whole life and dreaming for this moment!! You got this girl! Do your best, and don’t forget to in joy yourself! 💗
You were my favorite member of the team ❤️ Your genuine spirit is so apparent even without knowing you personally. Always an Olympian!
It's COOL you can récord everything and post it, I think this is the first time we can see inside the olympics. Greetings from Chile, South america.
I would love to visit Chile one day....Your country has such great natural beauty. 👍
Don't stress, just do your best 😌 bc everything is going to be alright!
There's no limit on the ways you can bloom 🌹
Be proud of how far you've come.
You deserve to be there and we are all rooting for you!! 🎉👏
Be yourself, there is no one better 💯
🗻こんにちは私は日本人です🌸 困難な時に日本に来てくれてありがとう日本を楽しんで行って下さい🙏
😀Hello I'm Japanese Thank you for coming to Japan in difficult times Enjoy Japan👍
Seeing Kara everywhere not far from the other athletes... my anxiety omg. Hopefully no one else gets it! Good luck Myk!
I do not think it is wise that they have all been traveling together. This could take the whole team out!
I saw Sunisa Lee, but didn’t remember seeing Kara in this vlog.
@@ShelleeGraham she's at 10:28!
I got scared on the girls behalf at 17.00 in which I saw some of them signing their name on a wall!
I would guess that SO many people have touched that wall too!
I really don’t know what the organizing team of the Olympics are thinking! THAT wall must be a Covid hotspot! 😱 One if the girls signed her name, touched her phone and then touched her face! 😱 I hope non of them got infected there!! 🙏
@@MrCph2200 Fomite transmission is much much less a concern than aerosol based. They'll be okay in regards to the wall, cheers!
ya'll are amazing just watching this stresses me out with all the traveling, packing going going going. You guys are all so calm. Im so stoked for all you guys your all gonna kill it CANNOT WAIT. Good luck GO USA xoxox
Omg the fact that you can just like. Hang out with Simone is literally a dream 🤩that’s amazing. Two queens in one place ✨👑✨
Ikr Simone is so cool
Not only hangout. They're roommates.
How are roommates determined? Do they get to choose who they room with?
Love the brutal honesty MyKayla! It's not all roses and sunshine being an Olympian and I respect you showing the good, bad and ugly! Keep pushing. I am rooting for you and the rest of Team USA so hard! I hope everyone stays healthy and safe!
I love seeing her eat, back in the day they use to restrict the gymnasts diet.
Yeah its great!
Bruh what
Yeah at mine gym they could fire someone for that
@@sophiar.9879 they weren't allowed to eat candy or any junk food. Shawn Johnson said they used to have to sneak candy bars
Your outlook is such an inspiration! You are focused and soaking in the experience. You will rock it! USA is soooo proud of you! Thank you for this amazing Olympian day-by-day vlog. Jonas, THANK YOU for editing this at breakneck speed!!
I love you and Jonas for sharing all this with us. I know it’s difficult with Covid to have to be in a hotel but I think they’re looking at safety like you said and you guys are going to do great. Thanks for sharing what it looks like they’re in Tokyo. We are all sending our love to you you’re gonna do great Mykayla!
I just want to say thank you to you and Jonas for taking the time to do this. No other gymnast that I’ve followed has ever given us an inside look at what it’s like to be there. Thank you! Take good care of yourself. Oh and for upset stomach: try some ginger if they will let you. I have a tincture I use and it settles my stomach in a minute or less. Good stuff! Good luck! Holding space that you make some event finals and bring home a medal or two or three! Have fun!
I mean, they get a lot of money from this 😅
I am so happy for you making the final after all. I wish you have your best day ever and get that well deserved medal
True.. Very True..I will be rooting for her.
You competed so brilliantly, Skinner!! Congratulations! And thank you for showing the world what true tenacity looks like.
Thank god SOMEONE is doing a Tokyo vlog!! I searched the interwebs for hours trying to find other Olympic gymnast vlogs and nothing so THABK YOU! And you’re my fav so double whammy!
Yea only bc her husband is basically making her which is kinda fucked up. Athletes aren’t doing vlogs bc they are so focused and have so much on their plate
It is killing me watching y’all right next to Kara and Leanne 🥴😭 praying no one else gets it. That would be devastating.
just know that Kara caught covid after that.
@@aprile5209 that's exactly what I meant lol
Myk, I love how you talked so candidly about your diarrhea troubles 😆 We've all been there!
Congratulations MyKayla on winning olympic silver medal on Vault! You rock!
Jordan in that bucket hat was super cute. That girl is just living sunshine ☀️
Hello
You are part of the team! I know what you meant but don’t consider yourself not part of the team because you are! You are amazing! Thank you so much for taking us along on your journey. I love this vlog. You girls are going to kill it!
omg yay an olympics vlog!! can’t wait to see you do what you’re best at in tokyo!!
It's absolutely amazing that you've made it this far. Being a Top US Gymnast is no easy feat. Good Luck!
I am so happy for you for making it to the Olympics. I've been cheering for you as you've worked to overcome so many obstacles. We are proud of you...... period!
You are where you are supposed to be Mykayla!! You have worked so hard and will be amazing!! We all have faith in you, feel the support and do your thing!! ❤️❤️❤️
Some reason I always thought your tape, and medical supplies would be provided by the Olympics or our country.
Apparently I'm wrong.
Kick A$$ in Tokyo, cheering for you from Philadelphia.
They prob also supply tape but I bet each athlete has their own brand preference of tape and want to bring what they are used to using.
Also the part where they have to bring half of the leos themselves! I can understand if the USOC wanted to get the athletes a "sneak peek" before they go over, but don't make them pack am entire suitcase when they're trying to pack personal items!
@@katekramer7679 I'm sure they want athletes to try things on and make any adjustments, launder, etc. I couldn't wear newly-made clothes without washing due to my skin.
@@leoren2685 That's a great point! It's still a ton to pack.
@Racheal Wood @Kate Kramer @Caitlin Tibbels & @Leo Wren You won’t see anyone sharing ANYTHING due to Covid. That is why they have their own chalk, tape, snacks, etc, etc. We won’t be seeing communal chalk stands because one rip of a hand in chalk opens up the door to an infection (& not just Covid). I didn’t see her pack an individual chalk bin, so maybe each country will share one, but we will see. Medical supplies, besides the approved OTC list, are 100% provided by the team doctors as are therapy products. The leo’s being matched with the proper undergarments is vital & they have to take their own practice leo’s & warm up clothes. Their main outfits are in the 3 bags delivered to their rooms (talk about a hefty luggage fee coming home 😳, hopefully Jonas & her family can take a couple of bags with them, lol)! As Caitlin said re: tape, every athlete sees different types of trainers & Joe (her therapist from Mayo Clinic) has her doing very specific ankle tapings, plus tape is used on almost every apparatus! I order supplies & injections for a Rheumatology & PM/R office, & the cost of tape & pre-tape (from one of the largest medical suppliers in the US) is insane! A box of pre-tape (or Coban) is more expensive than a box of syringes w/needles attached. So Myk was packing 💸💸 in supplies! Crazy town right? Regardless, I hope that Joe gave her the bags of tape & I’m just so insanely excited & proud at how far she’s come! Saying tons of prayers that she stays healthy, confident & gets to compete in multiple events! Two more weeks 💜🙏🏻!
You got this McKayla have fun stay positive and strong and take deep breaths relax and GO TEAM USA 🇺🇸
This confirms my personal hypothesis that the last few floors I've seen you all compete on seemed messed up/crappy/sounded bad/had horrible rebound. SO excited to see you all compete. Stay safe and healthy! Sending you all happy healthy vibes.
(EDITED + I really love your candidness..the zits..the poops. Thanks for being real. I also get the poops when I'm stressed. Totally normal lol.)
I get diarrhea too. I notice when Jonah (sorry if spelled wrong) was showing her stuff when packing there was a box of Imodium and was curious if she gets stress diarrhea and well seems she does. Thankfully she thought ahead
@@mommysaver71 I SAW IT TOO and had the same exact thought! Too funny!
Good luck in vault finals. I commented yesterday saying I was hoping for this to happen. lol. I mentioned that then maybe Simone will come back for at least one event later. Would be nice to have you win gold and Jade win silver on vault, Suni win gold on beam, and Simone gold on floor.
I'm so sorry you didnt qualify for any event finals myk! But I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PROUD OF YOU!!!! You have come so far and you are an Olympian. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!
