Whitney is the reason I started gymnastics, she's the way I'm the gymnast I am today, always trying to make my gymnastics look as perfect as hers, trying to be a good sibling and friend like Whitney is to her friends and family, I have so many same leotards as Whit, I just love her (no in a weird way tho!) I live in Scotland and my biggest dream is to travel around America and visit Georga Elite and meet Whitney, that would mean absalotly everything in the whole world to me, she's just so so so amazing!!!!! So humble, an increadlable gymnast, singer, KZbin and I'm sure friend too! Whit you are the absalot best and have helped me in all my gymnastics and life too, even tho we've never met, you've kept me going when my body image and eating disorder struggle was almost making me re-think my gymnastics decision but I knew I was going to fifill my dream of training at your gym one day, THANK you whit for everything you've done for me! xxxxxxxx your the best Whit xxxxxxx

Wow that’s an amazing story that’s the same way with me I was watching lotta people do gymnastics and then I was really younger I loved it and I would always do it in my house in the living room and hallways I would just do handstands for rules back walk over and I loved it so much so I started I started watching KZbin videos to get a better bed early Whitney I would love to go to Georgia to I live in America

[@mindyschocolate]

That was a nice double turn on beam. Slow and controlled. I wonder if a double leg hold turn would be possible?

[@ChronicallyCassidy]

I bet

[@erinm9445]

The hard part is that she does that turn on her bad side, (the double turn is on her good side) making even a single turn harder. A double with raised leg has never been done as far as I know, and would be extra hard on the bad side.

[@gymcentric5727]

@@erinm9445 it’s called a sugihara, named after aiko sugihara in 2017/2018 i believe. Rated E because of the turn D cap, not worth using when there are easier E dance skills.

@Caroline Coleman no, at almost the end of this video. My biggest fears as a gymnast was missing a foot at the end of the beam as Im launching into my dismount. Riley's fall was terrifying.

[@dontreadmyprofilepicture1691]

Georgia Elite Gymnastics (Whitney's team) consists of eight girls, Harmony Webster, Cilla Park, Olivia Kennedy, Delaney Fisher, Madelyn Dorbin, Leeiah Davis, and Whitney Bjerken. Also in Regional Championships (level 9 and 10s competing) Whitney was 204th place in the All Around out of 557 gymnasts. The top gymnast was Lali Dekanoidze (Level 9) and got an average of 9.8 each event. If anyone's wondering what the song in the beginning was, it's called Broken And Beautiful by Kelly Clarkson.

[@imissnj2]

There are 31 gymnasts on her level and team, not 8. You also don’t rank different levels together for placement, only her level.

Although I'm not nearly as good as Whitney I just absolutely love her gymnastics and all of her videos. My dream is to be an amazing gymnast like her someday and she just motivates me more than anyone. I started gymnastics pretty late for anyone who would get really good at it but I'm advancing really quickly. And the way that she still is going after her dreams after all her injuries is amazing! Such a motivation :D

Great to see you back in the gym and you have comments back woohoo!! Whitney how tall are you now? You look like you have grown at least 4-5 inches since last year. Can you share your long term goals for your gymnastics journey? Are you planning to do collegiate gymnastics or what is your plan? If you hadn’t had to deal with injuries and your elbow surgeries had you dreamed of going to the Olympic Games? How is your elbow now? Sorry for all of the questions, but since you haven’t had comments I didn’t know how to ask them. Thank you in advance for answering any of them. I was a nanny for a little girl (she was only 6 at the time)who had hoped to one day go to the Olympic Games and complete in gymnastics. She was actually extremely talented. I actually wish I knew what happened with her because she didn’t go that far. My family moved to another state and I went to college and got married and as it happens things get complicated and I lost touch with her family.

[@andrycrisiana]

Just like Jade Carey got attention when she was a Level 10 for her vault, I think Whit can also get the same type of attention from national team coordinators for her balance beam. Whiney is so talented. She has struggled with some injuries but if anything we have learned in past months that an elite gymnastics career does not need to end by 18. We are seeing older gymnasts like Skinner, Memmel, Francis, and many others competing in their mid-twenties and even in their thirties.

[@Sunflower_vally]

She has confirmed that due to her injuries and her hight that she is unable to follow the elite rout and has been focusing on college for the past couple of years.
