I was obsessed with her in 2012 and wanted her to make the team so bad. It’s such a shame what happened to her. She was a decent all arounder but went into the Olympics injured so she only did vault. We had no idea but she was being abused the whole time. And then she fell during vault finals and the whole world made a joke out of her disappointed face after losing a medal she was almost guaranteed at 16 years old.
Exactly i don't understand why it went viral. If you were the best you knw u should have won the gold. It was her right to be sad or to be happy. Why judge???
People got to realize that even with that fall, she won silver! How many can say their worst day at anything won an Olympic medal of any color. Her worst vault in 5 years earned 2nd place! 🥈?💕
Ace The Skylord I think overall it was a funny joke to say shes not impressed but a lot of people took it too far and said her face meant she was a brat or ungrateful when it was a fairly small and human reaction to failing spectacularly on a world stage (I don’t think a silver medal is a failure but I mean how she must have felt).
@@cookieaddictions NBC shares a lot of the blame for making people think she was disdainful of the Silver. The whole time she's on the podium they're running the camera up and down from her face to the silver medal. They did that right through the playing of the Romanian National Anthem for the girl who won the gold trying to catch McKayla crying. This was despicable. And through all of that - there was no mention that I saw of the fact that she was competing with a broken toe - which would of course - still be broken when she was standing on the podium. .
ALL of her gymnastics was amazing. She was underrated on the other three events. A 3 1/2 twist on floor, stuck?? Seriously, that’s amazing gymnastics. And her bars releases were high!!
I already liked her back in 2012. It takes steel to do what she did in vault, amazing. Then we all found out what she dealt with at the same time. bless her.
I’m glad other people also think she’s fascinating. She always stood out to me - and not just because of her vaulting ability, although that’s definitely part of it because I mean wow!
You know what it is about this gymnast seeing the end of the vid -- she's not afraid. Like she goes go for it. You can see she over steps and all that but do you see the impulse that she gets when she's in the air or tumbling?? Dude its amazing. Zero fear.
honestly i would be terrified to do half of the skills mckayla did, especially that 3.5 twist!! the concussion she got from doing it in missouri looked awful :( i remember her saying that she was scared to do a lot of skills, but she was so brave to do everything that she did, especially under the horrible circumstances :(
I remember watching her compete when I was so young, and for some reason I always remembered her, and now YEEEEEARS later in the 2021 olympics I’m watching a ton of gymnastic videos and she’s so COOL LMFAO WOW SHE WAS SO GOOD I DIDNT EVEN KNOW
she has always been fierce and that is what i’ve always loved about her. not many gymnasts have her spunk and attitude (in a good way) and i just love it !!
@@wiscovirgo the fact that she was most often the one to speak up in fierce five interviews and crack jokes always made me laugh, she had/still has such a great sense of humour
She has such a great personality and I think that is why I enjoyed her FX routines so much. She got to show a little bit of it. I always thought she gave great hugs in 2012 too. She just full on hugged which showed she loved her teammates. I so wish she could have stayed longer competing. I know her body broke down from all the mental and emotional and physical stuff but she was a fave because she was so exuberant.
her floor routines were my favourite!! i absolutely love her FX from 2009 (if you haven't seen it already!), she was an amazing dancer! her relationship with the other 2012 girls was so sweet, along with tons of other gymnasts :) she looked so happy every time they did well which i absolutely loved
I am the same age as her and she has plenty of medals, a successful career and now is retired. Meanwhile, I'm hoping to start with my career next year, which God knows whether is going to be a quarter of successful as hers lol. She has all my admiration and respect (:
Truly one of the greatest Vaulters of all time. Quite honestly she was hugely underrated on other events too. She was an incredible twister, and had tremendous power, coupled with grace and artistry. On FX and BB she moved so gracefully and beautifully. The fact that she (and all of our incomparable ladies) accomplished so much while being mistreated and openly abused by a broken & utterly corrupt USAG is nothing short of superhuman. Rot in prison Larry Nassar! And Bela Karolyi, Martha Karolyi, Valeri Liukin, the Rybackis, Maggie Haney.... All the disgraceful coaches who facilitated this- call them out and forever keep calling them out!!👊💪 Sorry about the rant at the end. We're here to give Mckayla her 💐
If she needed naps, it meant she wasn’t getting enough rest, so back off haters :). Coaches need to respect growth spurts and respect their gymnasts’ bodies. Full stop.
Imagine going through what she was, at such a young age, and still slaying so hard at the worlds most noble, ancient and prestigious athletic competition. People commenting on her lips or disappointed face or anything about her, are the melt chewing gums she steps on when she takes the trash out. Literally to anyone saying bad things about her. That's exactly how low you are.
Nothing says Mykayla like that one handed hair flip at a 1:22.👀🥰 And after 1:30 and scaring the hell out of her mom, that little off camera giggle. LEGEND!❤️ That look on Jordan's face at 3:28 says it all. HELP! 😂🥰
why is she SO likeable?? she is tho. also Boss B*tch is such a good song for that montage you made. also also, 6:40 is a crazy clip 😱 fantastic edit 👏🏼
i literally saw that i had 69 subscribers and went "nice." HAHAHA you're so right!! i'm glad she seems to be living her best life rn, i hope she's happy!
it's such a shame she was so badly let down by people who were supposed to care for her. considering the circumstances she was under at the time, she's achieved the most amazing things. she definitely deserved a gold medal, but i hope she's proud of what she's managed to do in her life :)
I didn't get to follow her in the 2012 Olympics because I lost my parents in June and July of that year. I have watched the current Olympics with my little cousins. My 11 year old cousin Cora wants to learn how to do the ribbon thing.
You were ridiculous McKayla and I mean that in the greatest way possible! I’m pretty positive you still are. The dedication and the heart and willpower to keep going after all you had to endure says a lot about you as a person. You were such a darling when you competed and you’ve grown into an amazing woman. I selfishly wish you would have competed longer, but you did it your way and I can respect that. This is a wonderful video.
Mckayla will always be that girl

She deserved a perfect score in that vault. Yes, I will be forever salty about that.

You are definitely not wrong.
If that didn’t qualify for a top score, I highly doubt we will ever see a perfect score again.
Yup!

When these young gymnasts get interviewed it always sounds like they have a script to read from. McKayla always showed so much personality.
