MyKayla Skinner STICKS Layout Double Double In Floor Routine (USA) - Day 1 Training, Jesolo 2016

[@lofi7259]

It's weird to see Aly, Laurie, Gabby, and Ragan walking around in the background and realize how long Mykayla's been doing this. Also weird to see Maggie Haney and Marta walking around in the background, and realize how much has happened in USAG since she first started.

true, although this is from 2016 and she was at worlds years before that and was an alternate for rio 2016

Her coach looking the corner: "better you keep it in bounds, girl" Zmeskal smiling: "funny but weird choreo" Brestyan: "hell no that she'll beat Aly" Marta: "hell no that she'll go to Rio"

I think Brestyan was like even that wont beat Aly. Don't attack me I love Aly and Skinner

I kinda like the choreography 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@reneepeters3045 Agree! The choreograph is perfect with the music.

[@mst3kanita]

I hate even seeing Marta in this clip.

[@duranca]

This was great floor music and the passes were awesome. I wish another choreographer could have stepped in to replace some of the tacky dance moves (those jerky arm movements - not very pretty). But I love how she tackled those passes with such confidence and determination. She is fearless.

[@julieselvey333]

I know next to nothing about gymnastics but to me, it is one of the most amazing and fun sports to watch. I loved MyKayla's floor routine here and I don't think I'd ever seen any other gymnast do the mid-air turn she did at :44. What is that called? It looked so elegant.

Great training video by the younger MyKayla Skinner in 2016 in Italy.

[@gerritduplessis7122]

WONDERFUL WORK! THANK YOU! BLESSINGS!!

[@corystajduhar]

She did stick it, but it wasn't a double double layed out. It's clearly piked on the first salto and the second salto is piked/tucked (she is bent at the hips and her knees are bent). You don't bend your knees in a layout. I'm very happy she got the silver on vault though in Tokyo!

[@autumnmoberg8774]

Ok we don’t need the hate comments they are really just unnecessary that pass is really hard so if you really want to be that rude and hate on people then I want to see you do that tumbling pass

[@iwishiwasaplatypus]

@@autumnmoberg8774 yeah but we aren’t professional athletes, Skinner is. She has never done that pass properly and it should have been downgraded every time. It’s not ‘hate’ to point that out.

[@nondescriptbeing5944]

@@autumnmoberg8774 this is not hate, it’s a fact

[@jodavitow]

@@iwishiwasaplatypus I'm not a fan of the pass at all but no, it shouldn't be downgraded because the angles of her position are not enough to justify a downgrade according to the code of points. They're enough to justify huge deduction tho, which she absolutely gets.

[@poemaboutthemanfromnantucket]

I think I missed the part where she does the double double laid out. I only see her doing the Silivas twice as her first two passes, which definitely isn't allowed if she wants to get credited for both, so I'm kind of confused.

[@gbfutureolympians2883]

For such a superb gymnast it's a pity that her feet are so often not pointed. Especially on beam. I was an Irish 🇮🇪 champion a long time ago so I do know a little about the sport. Compare to a gymnast like Nastia. Aesthetics comprise a huge part of gymnastics

I really like Myk but her very distinct way of quickly putting her arms down (with her shoulders way, way back) after a landing makes it look less effortless and as a result, less impressive.

[@Tony-lx7lr]

I like it tbh. It makes more of an impact when she lands and makes her landings look more solid.

[@lisastiles1408]

I was upset she and Jade weren’t on the The Team for the Tokyo Olympics, , and I was totally validated by the prelim scores, and that only she, Jade, Suni and Simone qualified for individual finals, and each brought home at least one individual medal. It lays to rest the fallacy of “Jade can’t be on The Team because it takes away from the total number of medals the US will bring home.” That is only true if there were two other gymnasts capable of knocking two of Simone, Suni, and Jade out of an event final. Might as well add Mykayla Skinner to the mix. Who would have been a lock to finish top 24 in the AA, and/or top 8 in an event final, AND beat three out Of Simone, Suni, Jade, and Mykayla to get past the two per country rule? I know the usual names and I don’t want to diss any beautiful hard-working gymnasts, so I’ll just say that every one of them would have been a greater liability in the team competition than Grace and Jordan. Beyond the inanity of leaving Mykayla and Jade off The Team, I won’t even discuss the bonkers decision to make them the individual specialists, when, IF you want to make them “specialists” instead of AAers (psst…their AA scores in prelims were the third and fourth highest among American gymnasts), their specialities are the same, vault and floor, because my head may very well explode. 🤯 ANYWAY, back to Mykayla, I’m SO glad she has the validation of an Olympic silver medal. Fierce, tenacious, snd a team player. ♥️

[@ilsimmigrationservices4407]

But didn't Jade make the decision to not try out for the Team? I thought she had the choice, and eventually she said she was going to take the spot she had earned.
