MyKayla Skinner on Pressures of Being an Olympic Gymnast: "It's Okay to Not Be Perfect" | PEOPLE
/ people - บันเทิง
I Love this woman. I like how she's emotional, expresses her feelings, and is simply gorgeous.
Very sincere, real, and positive! They all deserve recognition.
Can’t wait to see her in Vault Event Finals. My gut tells me Simone is out and MyKayla is in. Depending on Fate MyKayla could come home with a medal. I’m pulling for her to get that chance! Go MyKayla.
I hope so too, I'm just hoping everyone comes home with a medal
Me, too!
If she's in the final, a medal is hers to lose for sure!
Simone has to make a decision tomorrow!
In a way I hope Simone says she isn't ready and that Mykala gets the chance to do vault finals too. But in another way, I hope Simone feels better so she has a chance to shine on vault. Maybe even do the double tuck and get another "Biles."
What a rollercoster for Myk. She will probably compete in the vault finals on sunday!
Yes! 🤞
I wonder how she will do because she retired
@@caitlinweijers9060 she retired like 2 days ago😅 she'll do great
@@thatonegirl8975 yes I know but she probably didn't expect this
She sure did and won silver! So happy for her and what a way to end her career xx
I am so hecking proud if her! She was so amazing on hitting 4/4 on the olympics game!! Can't wait to follow her next journey! Love you Myk 💕❤️💙✨
Suni stars aligned with her ✨ 💕. Its time her stars shine the brightest this 2022 Olympics .
SO PROUD OF YOU MYK!!! You are an Olympian 🤩
This must have just published, negative comments… good Job MyKayla! I was Happy to see that the sport isn’t trying to ruin women’s lives, and bodies just for a 3 minute show, but they all considered their health, they all know even winners have to have life after the Olympics and she is there to help the women stay positive in a unique, trying time
These young ladies - ALL OF THEM - representing the USA in Tokyo are such an inspiration and represent their misunderstood generation beautifully❣️
She got the call and she delivered!!!! So happy that Myk's got a silver medal in the Olympics.
I love you and so strong and blessing angel and your health always comes first ♥️
Whatching this interview after watching her win the silver medal on vault 👌
Such a sweetheart ❤
I am so proud of how she's done, despite everything she's been through (especially COVID-19 & the pnumonia bout).
She seems SO sweet !!
She seems like a really cool and sweet person. Like somebody who gives her all in everything she does whether in gymnastics or just life in general. I wish her all the best.
She is realy beautiful !!!
Good role model. I wish her all the best in her future endeavors. Congratulations on her Olympic performance.
She is not my favorite as a gymnast, however I love her perspective about gymnastics and what she has to say. Lots of good things to say on her TH-cam channel, could see her doing commentary! Would be great for her and Laurie, I love nastia as a gymnast but she beyond redundant saying the same thing commentating. Laurie and mykayla would be great together
Yes and maybe train your kids! Your floor routine was the best and the best music:) loved it!
You are one amazing woman. You are so gifted and talented and humble at the same time. It has been an absolute pleasure watching you compete and who knows where the world will see you again. Good luck in your senior year at school and good luck in life. You will always be an Olympic Gymnast ❣️❣️❣️
She is a queen
Journalism is good for her, she's a good communicator
You need to interview her again now that she has her medal!!
Tell them you went to the Olympics and show them your silver medal! Congratulations!
She still has chance to make vault finals. Looks like Simone might drop out of that too. I am having my fingers crossed.
She won silver in vault. So happy for her.
People: LeVar Burton Immortalized with Figurine Designed to Encourage Kids to Read! Fortunately he sucked on Jeopardy as a game host! Good news
Kunta Kinte will not be hosting Jeopardy 🙂
too many "you know" and "it's like" and "like"
i never felt tanya harding was being honest with her audience, generally using them and leading them on in order to gain attention for her own personal corrupt ambitions. cheaters arent really acceptable unless extremely rare conditions of excuse are met, and they should instantly be disqualified from the current competition.
What?? Are you saying that Mykayla is a cheater? How exactly?
@@TheLauramccarthyim jus sayin if she is, then shes really let her fans and the integrity of the games down.
What would give you the idea that she cheats in any way? 😡 She’s worked so hard this last year. I’m happy that she got another chance, and that she won the silver medal. #2 vaulter in the WORLD! 🤩
Losers gonna Lose?Oh but they won silver anyway?What a scam.
They weren’t going to lose
You k ow, my daughter at ripe age of 18 discovered just how crude the ballet world is, she walked away!! She didn't make commitment and leave her dance mates to make up the difference. So these ladies made a choice to be in gymnastics, now they want to whine about it. Help me understand please! US is a free country and these chic's live well. Sympathy yes, but come on, do something noble instead of whining about something. You have a choice to do!!
it must be terrible ...
Just quit then and let a stronger person take over
I bet that you are one of the trolls that harassed Simone Biles for dropping out of the Olympics because of her mental health wellbeing instead of supporting her.
@@casey332 some people just don't understand this sport at all. If you are not there mentally, you could potentially injure yourself, if you can't focus on every spin, tuck , layout twist, etc. it's crazy that people think she Simone should just suck it up. They just don't understand.
It’s weird how bandwagons work. She dropped out and it’s not newsworthy. Athletes that compete despite issues and injuries are newsworthy. She’s not a bad person and it’s good that she knows her limits but there’s no need for any news coverage. You dedicated your life to a sport and that’s great if you feel pressure and think you’re unique you aren’t. We all struggle and we all choose. Being an Olympic athlete doesn’t mean you overcame struggles it means you’re good at a sport and that’s where it should end.
She didn’t drop out.
Wdym Mykayla didn’t drop out
She also overcame COVID and pneumonia while training for the olympics. And her ankle and foot problems. Barely had time to get it together. There are lots of amazing athletes who don’t have the determination or mental strength to go that far. What’s wrong with appreciating her accomplishments? Sorry if you’re bitter because you’re no talented or accomplished
