I am a 2016 Olympic Alternate and former NCAA athlete and have deferred my senior year at the University of Utah to come back to elite gymnastics and try for a spot on the 2021 Olympic Team. This channel documents my journey and gives insight into the life of someone preparing for the Olympics!

I am really hoping she does a sort of travel vlog. I just really love behind the scenes stuff.
I think we all do 😂 It might be hard for her to do all the filming by herself while also focusing on being at the freaking Olympics.
@@katekramer7679 I know, I just hate that the athletes family and friends can’t be there to provide support, and share in the greatest moments of their lives.
@@shmock5504 I hate it, too, but the alternative is horrible to think about. ESPECIALLY for MyK, since she's already had COVID once.
Same!!!
@@katekramer7679 She's like always 6 ft away from Leanne.
"OK so can I be done? I'm just kidding." CUT TO Bob, no reaction 😂
😂 I freakin love that! I would tell my girls all the time, ok, one more good set and you’re done, knowing good and well they were probably going to have to do 3 more. Here’s this Olympian, 2 weeks out from the biggest meet of her life and she’s trying to get out of an assignment! 😂 No shade intended. Olympics aside, she’s got to be exhausted by now. I was watching just now thinking, how cool-she started her gymnastics career as a kid in her club gym, rose to the top of the sport, had an illustrious career at Utah, and will now end her career by competing for her club gym at the Olympics! Keep pushing girl, almost there!
When you are done competing I would like to see what your workouts look like as a non athlete, also the recovery you have to do after competing all these years to be pain free, if you get the surgery, any physical therapy you have to do when your done competing as well. What your body goes through just to be a normal person after competing. Thank you!! Good luck!!
We are planning to keep the videos going so I'll definitely show that!
@@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial That’s terrific because I’m trying to lose 50 lbs and while I don’t expect to be doing any flip flop being able to run again would be wonderful!
McKayla, I know you want to medal and I pray for you. That stated, Lord willing you will see this, You have touched so many lives. I am recently widowed. Not only did I watch my husband pass but am I now a single mom of 3 kids. 2 of which are still young 10 and 14. Many nights I have not been able to sleep and I watched your videos. You encouraged me to keep going and passed the time of late nights. Between you and .Chelsea it is don’t give up. Thank you for sharing your journey. McKayla Skinner is already a winner
You got this! 🙂
Seems like a good plan to me. Don't really need to add any difficulty at this point as it risks injury.
It's about cleaning up the execution.
Yes this is an absolute must. Her difficulty is impressive enough. The ONLY thing that has ever hurt her scores is her form. Is she cleans that up she'll medal for sure
Yes a routine where she in confident is most important a new routine or even small changes she won’t know as well and might be nervous and not execute as well
Yes! But hopefully focus on VT in order to get that medal 🥇🥈🥉
I cried tears of joy and relief when you made the team. I am sad that there won't be fans in Tokyo for you, but I hope you know that there is a lot of love and support coming your way from home. Keep working hard and good luck at the olympics. Can't wait to watch you do your thing and to see you peak at the right time.
hey Myk! I’m a professional ballet dancer and just wanted to give you a little tip on your pirouette with your leg parallel! You tend to (like a lot of people) stick your neck out a little bit and tuck the head which can cause the turn to be wobbly. Try and lengthen your neck a feel like your “ears are being pulled back”. If you watch Shawn Johnsons beam routines at the Olympics she did those turns realllllly well so maybe look at hers! 🤗 I want to see you in that All-Around SOOO much and every tenth counts so thought I’d just give you a heads up as an adoring fan! You are gonna CRUSH THIS!!! ❤️
Very kindly worded advice. I’m certain MyK will appreciate this. ☮️💟
Thank you for being so kind! 🤗🤗
Ooo great tip! I have the same problem with my head being wonky on my turns. GO MYK!
awesome . . . you are a nice person
Omgosh i was gonna say the same thing! Us dancers think alike.
You look like you’re peaking at the perfect moment! Can’t wait to cheer you on. Go make your dreams happen, Myk!!
right? shes looking better every time
“Believe in your own magic. You already have what it takes. Dream big. Be bold. Have faith. Inhale positivity. Exhale self-doubt. You’ve got this.” Oh Mykayla....you sooooo got this!
Can't wait to watch you and the rest of the gymnasts!
mykayla is giving us the gymnastics content that we have always needed
good luck in Tokyo! I love that you're showing athletes that they can come back and be competitive after college ♥️
Handstands and feet/legs form on bars are looking great. I think Myk is peaking right on time for Olympics
Jonas’ sneeze 😂😂😂 “that’s disgusting”
Hey OLYMPIAN! I started watching Golden and it’s so cool to see you talking about trying to make the Olympics and now you have!!
You are an inspiration to me. Cheering you on all the way!
So happy for you MyKayla!! You earned this!! Can't wait to see you in Tokyo!!
I am glad she's doing all around❤️, excited to see her in Tokyo👏
I've never seen an athlete work harder or deserve something more than you Mykala. I'm so excited to see you crush it in Tokyo.
I'm a tiny bit concerned that you doing AA means you have less time to focus on your vault or floor fx, but honestly... It's your final meet, and it's the OLYMPICS. Go big or go home, as they say!
Super excited to see you compete AA and I know ur gunna do great!
That’s what I also thought... Just focus on her strengths to earn a medal, rather than waste her time trying to reach AA Finals when we’ve got Simone, Suni, and Jordan who are ALL pretty solid AA gymnasts... But whatever makes Myk happy, I’ll support her! I’m just hoping she really earns a medal coz she’s been working so hard trying to get to the Olympic Team! 🥇
@@indakgalak TBH, I kind of think that if she keeps improving, her odds of qualifying to AA are on par with her odds of qualifying vault and floor. She's got the difficulty, and her form genuinely keeps getting better and better.
I just wish our women weren't having to compete against their teammates as much as (if not more than) they're competing against other countries.
There is only so much pounding you can do to practice vt and fx, esp given that she also has the bone spur pressing on the achille tendon. So it's good to do some ub and bb training also.
All 6 athletes will compete all 4 events during qualifications in Tokyo. The team will then put up the 'best' 3 on each event from the 4 person team for team finals and all 3 scores will count.
The top 2(per country) for AA and each event then go on to compete in the event and AA finals. I know there's a cap on how many total spots are in the finals I just don't recall what it is.
Given this it totally makes sense for MyKayla to continue pushing on each event.
I think it is better for her to do all around. Inside of me saying that she have a chance to qualified into all arround, vault, beam, and floor. She have a huge chance to qualified into vault final. She also have a good chance get into beam final. I know a lot of people will not agree with me on that, but she have 6.6 potential D-score on beam. If she can hit beam routine like in her training, i think she can get 7.6 + on execution. That will give her 14.2 on the beam. I think she can handle the pressure on the olympic better than at olympic trial. She had too much pressure on trial but still stay on the beam. The chance to get into beam final is bigger than floor final( if she still doing DDLO).
SO GLAD to see you cleaning up bars. I wish they would have done that with you sooner and you could have snagged 4th, but we can’t change the past. So glad you are cleaning things up! Good job.
I think that she just needed the motivation of making the Olympics to help her push herself
She was working on cleaning up bars a long time ago. Also she was trying to add an extra twist to her pak, so now that they're focusing on clean vs extra difficulty based on feedback etc they're just polishing now. Totally makes sense to me.
@@elisharoberts1029 I know they have worked a ton on her bars in general. But no one other than Tom has talked about the small details in any of the training videos and it’s been bad habits causing so many deductions forever. I’m glad they are cleaning it up for the Olympics, but it doesn’t make sense to not have done it for trials too.
@@mark_c28 agreed. Excited to see her kill it in Tokyo! 😊
My wife and I discovered your videos by accident a couple of weeks ago and have been hooked ever since. I don't know how you and Jonas find time to produce the videos but they are eye-opening and riveting. They provide a rare opportunity for the uninitiated to see what goes into becoming and being a world-class athlete. You and Jonas are a 'class act'. Thank you Thank you Thank you. PS Thank you!
❤️
Myk, you are continuing to improve! I love Bob's philosophy! I definitely think working all 4 events is the way to go! I have been watching you for several years now and am absolutely stoked that you are going to Tokyo. Great job at OT's...stay healthy- really looking forward to you bringing it ( congrats to your great coaching team as well).
Yay. So glad Bob explained. I was so confused haha
MVP Bob right there 😂
All your hard work has paid off! Us fans are so proud of you! Team Myk!!!!!! You are going to hit! Praying for you ❤️🥇
Go Myk! can’t wait to see you as an Olympian!!!!!!!
Love the old intro, but I'm sure Jonas will make the new intro just as epic. Can't wait to cheer you on through my T.V. at the Olympics!🥳💖🎆🎉🎊🦋🌞🌈 Keep that positive attitude going. 🌟You don't have anything to prove to anyone, just go out there and enjoy yourself. You deserve this.. 🤗🥰😘 And remember to breathe.😁🤗
You are giving us a look at the Olympics in a way I don’t think it has ever been shown before! I love all of the amazing professional coverage - but I feel like I am truly along for the ride through your vlogs!!
Love you Myk and so happy you are an Olympian! You deserve it! You're looking great! All the best to you in the coming weeks!! YOU GOT THIS!
This is the comment of 10K YAS-ES!!! Your strength and focus post Trials is astounding. You will get those form issues fixed by the Olympics and a spot in the AA and multiple event finals. I’m rooting for you ✨
Myk, you may be feeling tired, but you are looking so STRONG!!
If you really work out the little form kinks, and truly hit as you’re capable of, you won’t just be an Olympian! You’ll be an Olympic medal winner!
This is just my Jonas appreciation comment. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🏅
God bless you MyKayla, you are in my prayers for a wonderful, healthy, successful, and safe Olympics. Enjoy every moment! God bless America!!
I think if she takes out the double double she will really amplify her score on floor exercise!! I’m so happy for you myk, just form form form! You got this!
Your pirouettes on bars are looking so good, omg! I love watching you on bars, you have nice lines and handstands, and great height on flight elements. I feel like your bars were underscored at trials and I'm really hoping the Olympic judges give you and others scores more in line with what I think is deserved. Definitely think your routine can and should score in the 14s. So glad you're giving the AA your all as well, I have so much faith in you and what you can do when you put your mind to things. You are a force!
I agree! The handstands in this video were killer -- the lines were so pretty but the strength was awesome.
I’m so stoked for you and the rest of team USA! I’ve been wondering what the plan was for you! I decided to think ahead this Olympic cycle.. I’m taking paid time days off of work this year to be able to watch on the live stream! The televised competitions usually aren’t the greatest so I’m stoked. Good luck, Myk! You got this!
Awwww lovin the vibes! Paid time off!!! Yassss :)
I'm doing the same. Just gotta figure out how to actually vacation at the beach at the same time!
That last double twisting layout looked awesome!! Looking good Mykayla❤️
Your videos make me have so much more respect for gymnasts or even elite athletes in general. Thank you so much for doing this MyKayla I am rooting for you! And thanks Jonas for working hard and being the best video producer you’re honestly such a pro now haha!
Poor girl I'm excited for her but that's a lot of work God bless you and the other girls stay safe what's more important is being happy and living your life to the fullest
We are so Excited and proud for you
I love your floor music! So much fun and congratulations you are looking strong and confident and I can’t wait to see you crush it in a couple weeks
I am so so so happy for you!!! I was crying watching the trials. You so deserve it!!!
My daughter J (8) just had her first time on the beam, and was scared to do a round off from the beam. She would lose her mind if you replied to this with some encouragement for her.
Congratulations on making it to Tokyo. That in and of itself is an amazing accomplishment. Good luck on any events you choose to compete in and hope to see you in a final.
You still have plenty of time. Just worry about the fine tuning. And take care of yourself.
MK, for every " I cant" I want you to say Five cans :) You got this girl!!
So happy you made the Olympic team! I want you to make it in 2016! Can’t wait to see you in Tokyo!
I hope you see this Mik. Her coach seems amazing and so supportive and nice.
Him
I know this floor music. It is a Polish song "my słowianie" by Cleo!
I imagine it's hard at this point to keep pushing so I hope it helps to see how many people are cheering you on. It was so good to hear you laughing and enjoying yourself as your coaches help you reach for those last tenths. You look great on every event!
Nice job after a long week!!! So happy you are going!!!! You may not like for us to give you tips, but I've noticed that your last turn/leap series the turn with leg up and the switch leap your right knee is always bent slightly. Even in both competitions. Try to feel a squeeze your knee and thigh, so you know it really is straight. I'm rooting for you lady!!! You are an inspiration and I'm proud of you!
manifesting good vibes for you in the lead up to Tokyo and for Qualifications!!
I am so sad that there will be no spectators. This Olympics is getting crazier and crazier. I hope Myk is training her butt off and kills it out there. She has nothing to lose... I 🙏 she comes home with a medal🏅! Good luck Myk!
Cheering you on girl!!! You did that at qualifying and you got it!!!! Just believe in yourself!!!!! ❤️ 🤍 💙
Keep killing it girl! It’s looking cleaner every time. I am so excited to see you compete in the Olympics!
Come on guys, Lets get Myk to 100k by the time Tokyo begins!!!
Girl, I am rooting for you so much. I'm so proud of you! So happy USAG finally recognized your greatness
Great video. Looking forward to seeing MyKayla Skinner at the Olympics!
Hello, just started watching a few of your vids. That intro is awesome and one of the best I've seen. Good luck and hope you get the medals you deserve.
come on myk you got this! i cried when you made the team. you have come such a long way and every time i watch you, you just get better and better. keep pushing!!
Myk i was so routing for you. I told my husband when we were watching it that this is my girl ! I am beyond happy for you. YOU DESERVED THIS! Ur amazing and i can’t wait to watch you at the olympics!
We adore you and will be routing for you sweetie!! You can do this Makayla!!
All your hardwork is paying off!! I'm so glad you came back and stuck with it! Not only did you make the team but, you have a great chance of making the podium too!! Congrats sweetie and Good luck!! I'll be cheering you on all the way from Tennessee!
Okay, everyone at Trials was talking about how much Jade's bars have improved, but you are ALSO looking like a natural bar worker these days! Keep it up! There's a VERY real shot of qualifying for the AA finals!❤️❤️❤️
I so wish this 2-per-country rule didn't exist, because y'all actually have a legitimate shot at qualifying 1-6, and that's INSANE.
If you qualify in third behind 2 of your teammates, you'll be the bronze medalist in my heart.🙌🙌🙌
Mykayla I am praying for you! I really can see you on that medal stand for all-around. Best of luck!
I cried so bad when you got the individual spot and after you last vault....I have watched you ur whole career!!!!! Wish you all the luck in the world 🌎 Team Mykayla 💙❤
I'm so excited for you! Cannot wait to watch you in Tokyo! Congratulations! ❤🤍💙
please to a packing video for the olympics! really love watching ur videos!
obsessed with the gym videos!!! I'm going to be so sad when they stop. Please push out dozens more before you retire!
I’m super proud of you MyK! You go girl! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
So glad that you get to go out there and compete your heart out! Way to go, Myk!
im so proud of how much you improved, you got it in the Olympics. Just be confident.
I'm loving this behind the scenes olympics content
You are my favorite gymnast in the USA. Hugs from Brazil!
Soooooo happy you get to compete for all around and event finals!
We’re all so proud of you! I’m hoping and praying you bring home some gold!🥇
I'm happy for you! good luck and bring home many gold medals as you can! GOD BLESS YOU！
Best of luck! I love how you point your toes, your form.
i know this sounds weird, but i clicked on this video at 3:33 pm and clicked on the comments to read rhem. there are 333 comments at 3:33pm. :)
your an amazing inspiration. I will be cheering for you so much at the Olympics, cant wait!
So excited for you. Have the best time.
So excited for you all!! Be safe (as possible being an elite athlete), safe travels and bring home your best!!!
I know you announced it on IG, but what does going pro in gymnastics mean? Rooting for you in Tokyo!
So proud of you Myk - You were incredible!!! Was Bob at trials with you as well?
Looking great! I really think they are going to regret not putting you on team. You just keep improving!
So happy you're getting your shot. And while I would NEVER wish anything bad to happen to any of the athletes, the simple fact is it's possible that unexpected injuries or covid could happen, in which case you could end up competing ON the team after all. Anyway, enjoy this homestretch of your career, stay safe, do your best and be at peace with whatever happens. Can't wait for the Olympics!
Super proud of you Myk! Looking great on bars and beam, super crisp compared to Pre trials.. Can’t wait to see you tighten up that floor routine… PS. Looking pretty shred.. Those other girls in Tokyo better watch out for MykMuscle!!! 💪😜 🇺🇸
Go Mykayla!!! We are rooting for you!
Love all your videos!!

I wish u all the best in Tokyo. I’m hoping you get GOLD!!!
You are incredible amazing, can't wait to see your performance in Tokyo Olympics 🤸🏻♀️🥇🏆👏👏👏👏
Loved it so much as always!! You are looking amazingg🥰
Best part of this video is when Jonas sneezes and she says “that’s disgusting”
I thought he belched not sneezed.
You got this girl. Would love to see you win big. 🏆
I wish you all the best, Myk!
Did she say "down time isn't staying in shape, go run or something" omg gymnastics is intense, can't even catch your breath! Lol
That was a VERY good bar day!
That first pak was gorgeoussssa
Been rooting for you since 2016. You got this!
You got this!! You look so confident!!
