      All 6 are American treasures. All 6 medaled in one event or another. They faced down extraordinary circumstances, including (but not limited to) the 1-year postponement, no fans in the stands & Simone's case of the twisties. These 6 are as wonderful to me as the Magnificent 7 back in '96.

    What a rollercoaster of emotions! Actually your story is my fav of the olympics.
    Following your journey, sharing your pain and gain was such a great documentation of how hard it is to be an olympic athlete, physically and mentally.
    You are such a funny, true and authentic person and you deserve your victory so much!
    Never change and all the best for your future! And now enjoy your holiday time!

    Due to the influence of the coronavirus, the tournament was postponed for one year, and I think it was difficult due to the adjustment of conditions and the difficult environment. Please rest your body slowly. You’ve done great work. Congratulations on the silver medal!! We look forward to seeing you again in Japan!

You dealt with a bad case of COVID-19 which resulted in hospitalization. There was some question as to whether you were going to be ready. You made it and you were presented with an opportunity which you totally seized! You've shown alot of character and I am inspired! I am so proud and happy for you! You never gave up! This Silver medal is sweet and it's the culmination of everything you've been through!

    Seeing the lucky leo hanging in the background at the beginning of the video made me so excited.

    I cried watching you on the podium with your medal!!! 😭😭😭 I’ve watched how crazy your journey has been, the many times you’ve tried out for this competition, and the struggle you’ve been overcoming one after another! Even you almost left home before last minute you got the call to compete in the vaults final and dang you showed up and showed out! You delivered!!!
    I’m so happy and so proud of you Mykayla! You really finished your Olympics with such flying colors!! Wishing you all the best in the next chapters of your life! Xx❤️❤️

    Now for the big let down that always follows a great accomplishment. Just chill, kick back & take it one day at a time. So, so very proud of you Ms. Silver Olympic medalist! Hope you do a couple more of these videos to show how you're doing post Olympics. ❤️
