I react to my Olympic routines

[@simplystreeptacular]

That's a big YES!!! to vault finals!!! I remember being absolutely *heartbroken* for you after quals because you had gone out there and slayed, and when I found out you were into finals I *could not shut up* about how proud I was of you. I *shrieked* when I found out you'd medaled. I'd known you were destined for greatness since you fought your way to 2014 Worlds but watching you do arguably the best vaults of your career to get on the Olympic podium was absolutely unreal.

[@sandram3338]

Second that!

[@janetjohnson7279]

👍🏻

[@shasty9]

I definitely want to see you react to vault finals and hear about your experience going through that. It was an emotional roller coaster to watch that so I can't imagine what it would have been like to live it! Your ability to focus and finish those last two events of the Olympic prelims was impressive. You're definitely somebody I admire for your determination to never give up and always give it your best :)

[@ericagerlach7267]

Yes!

[@oracaud]

MYK of course we want to see you talk about your Silver medal performance!!! I love this video, it is so nice to hear from your perspective what you felt when competing because as a viewer all we see is the routines.

[@LMFuqua]

Yes vault finals video and discussing that whole week from your perspective

[@westonding8953]

Your Olympic routines were amazing! We are our own worst critics. You deserve to take full pride in your accomplishments!

[@Brittanyknuckles1427]

I will never forget getting up at 4 am Sunday morning with my husband to watch you kill it in vault finals. He’s not really into gymnastics but he knows how big a fan I am of you and how ive been following your journey since you were 15 and I’ve done my best to never miss a meet whether it’s elite or college (as long as it was on tv lol) so he made sure we were both up at 4 am so we could watch and seeing you get that medal and sharing that with my husband will forever be one of my favorite memories. There’s seriously nothing better than watching someone you’ve been rooting for so hard finally achieve all you’ve wanted for them. Congratulations again mykayla i seriously could not be more proud of you!!!

[@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial]

I appreciate it 🥲

[@JB11334]

I would like to see your fitness routine now and what physical therapy you are still going to do if you have any nagging injuries, if you are going to have surgery on your foot. Do gymnasts tape their feet because of injury or to stabilize their feet for all the impact? Thank you!!

[@millacabral9475]

I'm pretty sure it's both. Most gymnasts I've seen tape quite heavily around their arches and ankles to stabilize, and even more so when they have an injury.

[@JB11334]

@@millacabral9475 thank you!

[@crustyrash]

It's so crazy watching you react to the Olympics. A year ago we were watching you train. It's quite the journey you've taken us on. I would love to hear what it was like for hearing that Simone withdrew and that period of waiting to find out if you'd be competing on vault finals.

[@mindikruse6938]

Yes to vault finals please!🥰 You were amazing for your whole Olympic journey!!! I hope you truly appreciate what an amazing woman you are and all you've accomplished with your hardwork and tenacity. 💖🙏👑🤸‍♀️

[@smileyfan16]

What I remember most is being miserable in the hospital with pneumonia, shortness of breath and not having answers to what was wrong with me. When you got the chance to compete in vault finals I was overcome with so much joy and happiness. I saw light. Your Olympic routines were absolutely amazing.

[@smileyfan16]

Can I also just add that I woke up around 3-4 am to watch vault finals live. This is what I did for you Mykayla because I wanted to support you. I was so happy when you got silver on vault. Well deserved. Seeing you have Covid early in the year made me realize that I was going to be ok.

[@CuzEDoes]

A big yes to vault finals! Can you show us the entire final and your reactions/feelings as each person went?

[@JennaLeigh]

That would be cool! She'd have to do a LOT of editing to avoid a copyright strike from IOC and/or NBC. Would be awesome!

[@kellyryanne2391]

I would love to see and hear your experiences hearing last minute that you're taking part in Vault finals!! I'm so proud of you and can't wait to see more

[@AmyCH102]

Definitely do a reaction video to the entire vault finals. I think it would be cool to do a reaction video to these routines and / or vault finals with Jonas and your family to see what they were thinking as they watched you.

[@bce4au]

Aside from your beam routine being the best at the olympics…you just had the worst soul crushing of your life with that vault qualifying. Then you got up there & had the beam routine of your freaking life!! YOU did THAT!! & that right there is something to be extremely proud of!! Ya did good!! 🤍👏🏻👏🏻 that right there says more about your character. Here for it. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@zombieloveproductions]

I’m smiling so hard watching you be proud of yourself and your performance. I know that this experience was such a rollercoaster of emotion so I hope that now looking back on this, and for the rest of your life, you can know that you gave and did your best at THE biggest meet of your life. I love you and love your attitude. Congrats, again, Myk! Can’t wait to see what your future holds!

[@shugie47]

I cried watching live and cried again watching this reaction. You absolutely killed it! So wish I could've met you in Indianapolis on tour! So proud of you!!! Can't wait to see what's next!

[@sarahgrace4473]

Mykayla!! So proud of you!! I love you so much and your performances were amazing! btw, y'all totally should start a family!! My dream is to be a momma and literally you are going to make an amazing mom!! Love you!!

[@JoMomma]

The performances you gave on bars and beam after the vault was what made me respect you immensely!

[@anthonylovesgymnastics3787]

Gurl, YAS to vault finals recap!! You nailed your AA routines. It was so much fun to watch and cheer you on through your incredible journey.

[@kimberlyroosen5565]

I definitely want to see your vault final and hear about the rest of your journey at the olympics. I still have high hopes that you will move forward for 2024 olympics in Paris. I love you MyKayla and it was great watching you perform in Tokyo.

[@danielsullen3065]

You did really well and it's very inspiring to watch you persevere and finish strong. I am currently in my phD program and I am struggling a bit. This is my second go-around at attempting which reminds me of your Olympic journey. Watching your video really has inspired me today. Thanks for being awesome!

[@Leadoff10]

The hug from Grace though after vault. IDK how you felt but it seem like she knew you needed it big time. It must have been great to have her there.

[@jenniferwatson1944]

Yes please do a reaction video to vault finals!! I stayed up until probably 2am here in California to watch you compete. When I saw that you placed 2nd and got the silver medal I was crying happy tears and thinking “she did it!”

[@brodypenn]

Props to you and Jade for being the event specialists but still placing ahead of Grace and Jordan in the AA. That was amazing. Such a middle finger to the selection committee, prove them wrong!

[@kevinsam3078]

Agreed, i think jade and mykayla shouldve made the team, jordan had no international experience whatsoever, eventhough she did well at trials, i expected her to fuck up during quals and Tf, obviously i didnt want that, but i hated that the selection committee only used the scored from trials and dint take into consideration any of the previous meets

[@rebeccaspellmeyer5761]

@@kevinsam3078 Agreed! I always thought Grace was a bad choice for the third spot and Jordan was a big ? So to see the 2 "alternates" bring home medals and not the two everyone thought was a big confirmation of that. I would have loved to see MyKayla at worlds.

[@MaryLab2930]

@@kevinsam3078 i lowkey didn’t expect jordan to mess up at all, considering she never fell once at any of the competitions this year prior to the olympics. i feel like grace also adds nothing to the team. jade and mykayla should’ve been on the team instead smh edit: i think she messed up both bc it was the olympics and bc her mom was going to jail or something like that

[@Sarah-mz2ou]

You hit every routine you performed at the Olympics! That's awesome!

[@Hulachowdown]

I love how you talk about the emotional side. I really think that helps when younger people realize that even their idols have feelings and get emotional. So many times I was told to not get emotional at competition or training.. which just made me feel guilty which made it all worse. I think it is good to acknowledge it and work with it, instead of ignoring things . And your success shows that getting emotional wasn’t a bad thing and you probably feel so much stronger for pushing past it.

[@BenThompson]

Your pull through for your Olympic medal and finally living your Olympic medal moment in Tokyo is transcend, the country was so proud that day especially when jade balked and you were the only US medal hope, so much respect for your career perseverance and Olympic experience

Girl you should feel nothing but pride about your Olympic experience! No one can take the fact away from you that you are an Olympian and had the meet of your life there! and to top it off the way you did with a medal! Gurl, wear that with pride! You did amazing and should be so proud of yourself! It was amazing way to put a stamp on your career! YOU MADE IT!!!

[@annaweeks4662]

Please talk about finals and how Simone encouraged and cheered everyone else on. On a side note I'm so sad there will be no last year of college gymnastics.

[@Zoe-ft4bp]

I remember crying the night you made one of the individual spots, I am so happy that you had this opportunity and continue to shine. As a gymnast, you are one of my idols.

I’ve watched you compete forever that was your best beam ever, I can’t handle that dismount. I feel like I didn’t get to see you on beam often but that was fantastic!

[@charleyanne]

I'm glad your foot held up through the Olympics. My right foot/heal has started bothering me, I've been trying to stretch it more so I don't have to get shots or anything else done to it. I'm so happy you did so well, even though your scores didn't reflect it. Wishing you all the best! 🙏🏻❤️😘

[@ashleywinter209]

I've never woken up on purpose at 4 or 5am for anything. I woke up to see you and omggggg I cried when you didn't place at vault. While I was sad for Simone, I was EXSTATIC ! TO see you were going to compete in the finals. My husband was like, you don't even know you, why are you screaming at 5am?! I threatened him with no breakfast and divorce if he didn't hush 🤣 he knows you have been my favorite for the last 9 years! Thank you for liking my life interesting and enjoyable for the past 9 years! You deserved to be at '12 and '16 games but I was most excited to see you at the games over any other team member!!!!

Yes. It's been so helpful and interesting to have insight into all the work it takes to perform for 18 to 240 seconds at the absolute extreme of human ability. I have much more appreciation for all gymnasts seeing you practice, fail, repeat. It makes the sport tangibly amazing rather than of-course-she -can-do-that amazing.

Ok listen I literally cried because I was soooo proud of you when you won that silver in the vault final I now that there were ups and downs in the olympics but I think that the outcome in the end was really great and special because everyone had their moment to shine and show their greatness and that hard work really does pay off.You are amazing Myk and I wish Joans and you alle the best in the future .I can not wait what the future hold for u.I am really excited if you end up commenting on the vault final video .

I cried when you didn't place. I didn't even cry a little bit either. After hearing everything with Simone and feeling so hurt but proud for her I realized. I literally screamed out loud home alone. I felt bad considering..... I then had to look it up just to be 1000000%. I stayed up until 3 am just to watch live. Just seeing your name on the list made me cry. Then seeing you when it cut to the live feed. 😭😭😭😭 I almost couldn't see your vault that's how fast the tears where rolling. So proud.... I said so many prayers!!!

I'm so happy you were able to throw such awesome routines at the Olympics and then top it off with your VT medal. I feel you've had so many times where you could have just quit but you've kept with it and fought through it all. You are a great role model and I hope you continue with gymnastics in some fashion. I wish there could be more competitors in the Olympics and worlds. Like the US could send a few teams.
