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.

[@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 🥲

[@westonding8953]

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

[@LMFuqua]

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

[@BureauKat]

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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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. 💖🙏👑🤸‍♀️

[@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

[@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!!

[@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!

[@RachdelaTorre]

Yes, vault finals please!! So glad you had the bar and beam routine of your life!!! Can't wait to see what other exciting things you have in store for your future! Always a fan :)

[@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!

[@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.

[@andrycrisiana]

Honestly, Myk's journey to her olympic medal was pure drama with the biggest twist in the end. AMAZING!

[@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. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@kdahlek]

This was so much fun to watch with you! Yes, please do the vault finals! YOU have change the vibe of competitive gymnastics, and your upbeat spirit will live on forever! Really… I am a vintage gymnast and fan, and you, MyKayla, raised the bar… you have been the catalyst that has kept this sport alive during truly, the most tumultuous period USA Gymnastics has ever experienced. Thank you.

[@kokobeebad]

Yes- to vault finals video reaction! What an amazing ending you had! Loved watching you shine!

[@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.

[@cecidelgadillo5726]

we need a vault finals reaction Queen!!! love you Myk you are incredible !!!

[@AaMmack]

I think it’s so cool that you guys documented even some of your training in the weeks and months leading up to heading to Tokyo, because it adds another level of viewership knowing what you’re talking about and being able to witness even a glimpse of the hard work you put in💪

[@sydney.sebastian.soccer]

So proud of you! Don't let anything break your spirits. I'm so sad to see this career of yours that you were amazing at go away. We'll will forever miss you out on the floor even through TV!

[@heathercebulla9190]

Love that your back to You Tube! Love this video and can’t wait for the next one on Vault Finals!!

[@davidharmer331]

So glad to see you two making videos again! I've missed them the last few weeks! This was a good one. Bonus points for MyKayla's comment at 19:20. :)

[@drea8052]

Your love for the sport definitely came through and it was your time to shine girl! ✨ I hope this experience was everything you dreamed of!

[@nancynewman1356]

You were so awesome. Loved the tour. You did a wonderful job. Bless you and your sweet family.

[@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

[@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!!!! We love you Myk!

[@keljells]

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!!!

[@careypennington9336]

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.

[@JoMomma]

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

[@beambreaker]

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!

[@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!

[@Sarah-mz2ou]

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

[@thorgerdurhalldorsdottir1402]

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. I got misty eyed when you won your medal and I was so happy to you ladies have fun on tour and just enjoy the sport. Can't wait to see what you do next!

[@stephaniecline7648]

I absolutely loved watching you have an all around great qual! All of your hard work really paid off, and when you got the call for vault finals I was going crazy for you!

Yes, please do the recap on the rest of the olympics, I loved this recap, thanks.

[@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
