Thanks for the update...this is a really good, very informative interview. :-) Wishing Mckayla all the best in her recovery and hoping for a successful 2015 and beyond!
I don't see her making it back either with all the healthy ones we have. I like her though and I'd love to see some veterans on the 2016 squad. It helps.
once i was stretching in front of my mom's italian theatre friend and she didn't have enough english to say that i'm a rubber band like most do, so she just said "are you broken?"
iamkarenh karen, you need to stop stalking me. goodness. every comment i make you have to lead with an insult. you started with an insult and you ended with an insult.. youre an ugly moron. go away and dont respond to any more of my posts idiot.
Moron. That comment wasn't meant to be derogatory. Saying someone has a high pitched voice isn't a description of their voice. If I closed my eyes, she sounds like Kerry Strug. Get it now idiot?
I do not think she is going to make it the junior field that is coming is highly strong.. Wow so that mean this year there will be a new Vault champion. for worlds
not really. none can touch her on vault plus no juniors have two vaults so she's still the optimum pick. And finally with time to train properly she can improve consistency on floor, bars and beam . She already improved so much last year with little time so I imagine she will be picked with key for the AA in the American Cup.
Sr Azul yes but what im saying is that a team cant be made up of just AAers. You need event specialists too, ppl who can make a final and medal, and as long as she is the best vaulter and has time to finally work on floor she will be an asset in that respect. She explicitly said she wants to do the triple next year for world's. Im just saying that that alone would be awesome to have in Rio. Plus with a stronger vault and floor she could MAYBE do AA if she stabilized her beam and bars, a viable endeavor now that she is taking the season off. Look how badly we did in event finals in 2012 because we had 4 AAers on a 5 man team but only Aly could realistically medal in an event final. This time we need to concentrate on having strong specialists (who could compete AA in a worse case scenario) b/c medal count is important, not just team, AA gold.
***** I agree with what you're saying, but I'm wondering if Maroney can get in as a Vault/Floor specialist considering those are USA's strongest events. Plus, the depth of the team by the time the Olympics roll around will be amazing and make it that much harder. I know that she is determined though.
withlove312 well i think that because she's already post-op and has been back in training a few months already, she will be in shape long before the American Cup rolls around which mean she'll be back by the start of the new season along with every other elite. Technically, she's ahead of Bailey Key, who is still healing from her own injury and turns senior next year, so I have good faith in McKayla's successful return because time is on her side, plus always she bounces back quickly. Good news: just recently she posted on twitter that the reason she hasn't been so active on social media is because she's working hard in the gym and also she is working technique on bars and beam with plans to up her d-score and execution on all 4 events :) A separate issue is that the US has depth on FX/VT but part of that depth was Maroney lol. Atm, we have one amanar (Biles), one questionable cheng (Skinner) and a ton of beautiful DTY's from all the other girls. Price was a part of that FX/VT depth but she is gone, Presisman was a part of that depth but too many injuries have lessened the likelihood of her amanar or a competitive floor routine returning. Dowell has her amanar that she'll perform at the world's selection camp but has ankle injuries and she may not be a on this year's world's team. So who could've guessed it earlier this year, but if Dowell doesn't go to world's the US will be using one DTY in TF!!! And that folks is why we need Maroney :)
She is one of those rare gymnasts from the USA who is so incredibly well-spoken.
she should try hosting, she has a natural charisma
She's always so spontaneous... I just love her interviews :D
Love this girl's Attitude.. and she has stuck an amazing personality...
Thanks for the update...this is a really good, very informative interview. :-) Wishing Mckayla all the best in her recovery and hoping for a successful 2015 and beyond!
I'm so sad, that she didn't come back to the gym😔. Love her so so much ❤
i love watching her in interviews
Champion Words.... BELEIVE!!
she is so cute! Go mackayla, hoping for you to get better of that
Love McKayla, hope she'll her recovery will go as planned and hoping she'll fully get back to gymnastics soon.
The queen of the skies!
I love this !!!
Perfect
Smart decision McKayla, Good Luck!
I love Mac! I really hope she can come back. Fingers crossed for her!
Who's here 10 years later???
I don't see her making it back either with all the healthy ones we have. I like her though and I'd love to see some veterans on the 2016 squad. It helps.
Shes back for the 2015 season and has been training quite well... Healthy and fresh isn't always that good.. It can be a very bad thing
She will be back with a vengeance!!
once i was stretching in front of my mom's italian theatre friend and she didn't have enough english to say that i'm a rubber band like most do, so she just said "are you broken?"
Nice to meet ya. Can't wait to watch ya in Rio 2016...don't call it a com back think redemption story girl.
It would be great to see her in Rio, so I hope she is able to do what she feels is best for what she wants :)
Her team vault in London was the best I’ve ever seen it should have been a 10 perfect i don’t think there will be anyone who can do it better.
10 in execution cause it can’t be done better I don’t see hoe
stupid injuries ;(
Ikr i want her back!😭😭😭😭
Her high pitched voice is identical to Kerry Strugs
pappysprite You should stop talking because you're not good at it.
iamkarenh karen, you need to stop stalking me. goodness. every comment i make you have to lead with an insult. you started with an insult and you ended with an insult.. youre an ugly moron. go away and dont respond to any more of my posts idiot.
Moron. That comment wasn't meant to be derogatory. Saying someone has a high pitched voice isn't a description of their voice. If I closed my eyes, she sounds like Kerry Strug. Get it now idiot?
And here I though you've forgotten all about me. Shall we have another comment battle?
Not really. Plus, she is certainly more articulate than Strug was at her age. But more importantly, who cares?
Professional, beautiful, strong willed, 😇!!!
Makayla is my moms friend Marks niece
She must be planning a 3.5 yurchenko if she plans on making Rio
Shes making plans for 2016 and 2020
What question was asked?
"Your job is hard" 😂
I do not think she is going to make it the junior field that is coming is highly strong.. Wow so that mean this year there will be a new Vault champion. for worlds

Ummm no kareharpies just keep in mind 2015 will be all about simone and bailey keys

looks like she won't be coming back :(
Yup
She likes talking.
Some gymnasts look like they'd have a chipmunk voice, McKayla isn't one of them. Complete surprise.
Yea ☕️🐏✔️
So... Bars is not 'real gymnastics'? :)
I think she means that she is only doing a couple of tricks on bars but is not doing any complete routines on the bars.
I understand that friend, I just thought it was a funny remark
Ester Loeve Indeed. She probably meant tumbling :)
She a late bloomer, huh? Her voice isn't as high anymore.
What a motor mouth! Ask her one question and then MM takes over. ;)
she sounds like an ant lol
Comes off a bit unapproachable and her voice is nails on a chalkboard.
You have literally the opposite interpretation of her. Unapproachable? She’s really well spoken.
Well she is famous for gymnastics so it's okay
