COME TO THE OLYMPICS WITH ME

Packing, traveling to Tokyo, where we stay, where we train, what we eat, what we do, and more! All the behind-the-scenes of an athlete at the Olympics.

[@Glub2]

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 🥺

[@nicolebrown5987]

Rooting for our sis!!! She really showed the hard work of becoming an Olympian. Because she did, I have the utmost attitude of gratitude.

[@persephonexx]

Literally! And her husband for editing and recording most of her vids!

[@CourtneyBishopPOA]

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!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@luciarehermann7921]

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!

[@numbersandsports4206]

"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.

[@MsBlushing24]

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

[@Candyfloss701]

literally. that witch wouldn’t allow the snacks either!

[@nightflyer3242]

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.

[@josefinaazpiroz]

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.

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!

Sorry Myk but Melo stole the show here 🤣🤣🤣 love this vlog ! Team Myk Tokyo!! 🇺🇸 Happy Birthday Jonas !

[@jenniferwatson1944]

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”

[@sandram3338]

Hahaha true !

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.

[@rebeccac33]

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

she is not an alternate, idiot.

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
