PSA so it turns out that Jonas got some of these questions from old quizzes and some scoring has changed since then so there's a few answers that aren't accurate lol. I still would've failed BUT makes me feel better. Shoutout to those that commented the right answers

[@oozefang9120]

the only thing that can help someone at your level is to jog miles, and swim before you hit your sport. youll be tired before you do your thing, which will help, you need to becareful for injuries. when youre at your level, you cant really improve much , exhausting yourself before you do your training is the only way to make your training a up hill battle. you can jog 4 miles in 1 hour 30 minutes, swim a slow mile, then try for some light weights. then go do your practice. it makes it a up hill battle where youll be super tired and have to TRY HARD to make it look good.

[@mingming9604]

myk should get one more point for her answer on this one. lol .. It is 1 whole point in fall on beam...

[@gemarijke]

The code of points has changed over the years so some of the answers would be different now than they were a few years ago. It really depends on when these questions were written. So you probably weren't wrong on some of them!

[@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial]

this is the comment I needed. Haha thank you that makes a lot of sense

I thought it was .1 off for a small step or hop and .3 off for a large step or hop

[@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial]

yeah I don't know where he found all these quiz questions haha I was wondering about a bunch of em

[@sleepy5017]

Pretty sure it is too and then additional 10th's for every step after the large hop.

[@ChronicallyCassidy]

Yeah for JO that’s right.

[@gabriellaporazzi6182]

It is, he was wrong. A hop larger than a meter is 3.

[@baileyokeefe16]

Same

[@jfeathe1211]

It’s super important in elite gymnasts to understand the difficulty value of skills and the deduction values. Understanding the mathematical trade off between doing upgraded skills and risking higher deductions is vital. For example, the Nabieva (G) with a 0.3 deduction is worth the same as a Ricna (E) with a 0.1 deduction.

[@alexkaitlinthomas]

As long as her coaches know tho, it's fine.

[@josephqualtier961]

That’s what a coach is for lol

[@nancynewman1356]

You two are adorable. Myk you don’t need to know, you just do it! That’s why you have coaches.

[@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial]

❤️❤️

[@freddycooks]

It would bug me to not know the deductions if I did gymnastics. I'm the type who has to know the "why" If I got a 14.6, I would need to know why. I feel like knowing what causes the most deductions and knowing the impact that a specific deduction makes to the overall score can motivate you work on those opportunities more. Maybe that's just me.

[@lvega5606]

No, it's just you and 99% of everyone else. I cant imagine how someone who is dedicating so many hours of so many days of so many years to making an olympic team would not spend maybe 3 hours studying the basics of how gymnastics is scored, so that they could drastically improve their odds of making the team.

[@whitykitty2651]

completely agree. If I dedicate my time to anything I always want to be the best I can be

[@ahnafabdullah7850]

Completely agree here only when you know where you’re going wrong can you figure out how to make it better

I'm a pianist, and similarly, I would totally fail a piano test like this (history/difficulty/names/trivia), too!! I know a lot about what's important to have and give a successful performance, but not the other stuff! Lol, so I would be in the same boat. 😄

[@Ms.Opinionated]

I can only imagine going from college back to Elite scoring system. That's too much to remember.

[@aperson8391]

I did not know ANYTHING about gymnastics but I love watching some people do it. Thanks for helping me. Also don't feel bad that you didn't know a lot,it was very entertaining to watch👍

[@FrancesBaconandEggs]

I think that 6.4 used to be the value of the Amanar but it got downgraded with all the other vault skills for the 2017-2020 code of points. So it makes sense that you mixed it up!

[@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial]

this makes me feel better. Thank you!

[@stephanietodd1876]

An Amanar was 6.5 from 2006-2012, 6.3 from 2012-2016, and is now a 5.8.

[@elliesharp401]

I love watching your videos about training! I’m 27 and it’s gotten me motivated to get back into the gym. I’ve gotten so unfit I cant handstand cast after my kip! The muscle memory is there by the strength is gone ! - I was 13 the last time I was in the gym so Half a lifetime ago! Are you excited for the Tokyo olympics? I’m from Australia so we always watch and back the American and/or British teams because Australia’s team doesn’t usually qualify. Some individual events we do but gymnastics is really underfunded here because of how big a land mass with have with a small population so sometimes people drive 2hours to a gym!

[@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial]

Get back in there! I'm gonna need a good long break once this Olympic run is over but I'm sure I'll find my way back in the gym eventually. Yes I am excited for Tokyo. I would love it if you rooted for us Americans 😁 2 hours to a gym is crazy. I thought just 20 minutes was annoying haha

[@elliesharp401]

MyKayla Skinner I’m Only 30mins but I can see why a lot of parents just put their kids in swimming 😂 thanks for the reply! I love watching you guys crush it, you Americans have so much strength and power to your routines! 💕

[@hollyc4624]

Lol. The only thing that surprised me is that you are such an amazing gymnast and don’t know what the scoring is for what seemed like common things. That’s actually interesting as a parent that has watched a lot of daughter gymnastics. Glad you’re focused more on the skills than the rules (they change every year anyway). Keep up the hard work!

A fall off the beam is a full point, but a fall onto the beam is a half point I think.

[@FrancesBaconandEggs]

Yeah he definitely messed that up.

[@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial]

thanks for the clarification! I knew something was off haha

[@wendyaultman3252]

nocturnal dream In JO a fall is .50. Touching the beam is .30.

[@gabriellaporazzi6182]

If by fall onto the beam, you mean big stumble, of you stumble on the beam and touch your hands that's .8, so almost a fall.

[@FrancesBaconandEggs]

Gabriella Porazzi did Myk’s coochie fall way back in the day cost her 0.8?

[@andrycrisiana]

I assumed that everyone on the national team would have a solid grasp on the CoP and history of gymnastics. There are some great blogs like "an old school gymnastics blog" that dive deep into details of history of modern gymnastics. Maybe I am overly academic, but I feel like having a good grasp of the history and evolution of the sport adds a lot to an athlete as he/she can understand the big picture and also handle interviews, press conferences etc much better. Wish you the best for 2020NE. Hope you make that Olympic team!

[@pattypatpatrick_]

Myk must have just had the hardest longest workout before this…bc she’s over it! And I find it hysterically funny. This video is everything. Their banter back and forth is hilarious start to finish. Jonas saying “still do” about her hating gymnastics is Hilar. Also…Mykaylas facial expressions deserve their own gold medal. Way to crush trials and make the team. Been following you for ages and it’s time for you to be on DWTS! Make that pro coin!

[@elisharoberts1029]

I can't believe Jonas missed Mary Lou Retton on the Dancing with the Stars question. Fun questions. Don't feel bad for not knowing all of this MyKayla. I struggled with the skills/deductions most.

[@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial]

Hey I'm not complaining cause at least I got extra credit out of that question lol

[@elisharoberts1029]

Trying not to fan girl over here! You're 1 of my all time favorites. My son is mesmerized by your gymnastics. He'll be 2 in about 2 weeks. He's already trying to copy your moves. He's totally fearless, which is awesome for him, but his dad and I might have a heart attack.

[@sophiepitaleff5831]

I got almost all of them right! Gymnastics obsessed person, don't judge! At the beginning when Jonas says that when he asks Myk about a skill she says "I don't know I just do" That is the thing about gymnastics, you don't kow how you do it your body just does it's thing!

[@elliesharp401]

It’s definitely a full Point for falling off the beam in elite

[@1MALICIOUSDIETY]

I guessed a 14/20 for MyKayla. I surprised myself with a 17/20. Jonas is right though, better to do the skills than know the stats and things. That's the coaches job. It's just distraction for the dedicated athlete. Hope to see you in 2021!

Dancing with the Stars is my jam! Without using the Internet to confirm answers (so go easy with me on spelling): Shawn Johnson, Laurie Hernandez, Aly Raisman, Nastia Liukin, and Simone Biles (apparently since mary got eliminated early her season so I didn’t remember her like most others)

[@---cz5fh]

Mari lou retton also was on dwts

[@freddycooks]

The Amanar start value was a 6.5 in 2012. Technically, you got that right. It was 6.4 in 2013, 6.3 in 2014 - 2016 and 5.8 in 2017- 2019. (If I'm not mistaken)

[@gabriellaporazzi6182]

I think Jonas was looking at the older scoring system about a fan on beam, because it used to be 5 tenths, but now it's a full point.

[@ri3lalee]

I got everything right except the fall one, I'm still pretty sure it is 1 point off. I mad an educated guess on the first one and FIG being the oldest federation one. You should really look at the cop and see the difficulty and deductions of everything, it may be helpful.

[@freddycooks]

[@rexsanchez2162]

oatmeal and brown rice help with ligaments, water mellon has oxygen amino acids , swimming helps with cardio. dates, dried figs, strawberry in your oatmeal with milk blended is absorbed faster. raw vegi puree with great fruit helps with energy, youll be up all night if you dont workout or study. half a head of cabbage, alot of spinach, 1-2 cups of raw broccolie, carrot, cauliflower, tomato. drinking it helps it go down easier, it should make 2 big pitchers. prune juice helps absorb proteins. milk and greek yogurt is good. if you weigh alot, you can walk all day with the bar on your back once and a while.
