#aww i remember a couple of years ago when she had the little dark fringe haha

So now if someone mentions a gymnasts name in a tweet on their personal twitter account it’s “involving the gymnast in the conversation”? Fucking Madness. That’s what the @ function is for lol.

Gymnastics is a sport, gymnasts are public figures. Fans of the sport are allowed to discuss the events and happenings in the gymnastics world, and guess what, not everything they have to say is going to be complimentary all the time. But people are allowed to have opinions, and if a gymnast can’t handle that, then maybe constantly searching their name on Twitter isn’t the best idea? So many people in the gymnastics world act like the slightest criticism is hate speech. NO other major sport is like this.

#also this is more about the fans than the actual gymnasts like obviously if you see something criticising you your primary reaction is #to defend yourself #although what that poor girl said was hardly criticism but anyway #i just dont think its fair that that twitter user is more than likely going to get tons of hate for saying very little

How come all these American gymnastics stans’ constant bleating about women being allowed to show and express their emotions in whatever way they want never quite extends to Komova crying over her silver lol

#it was 7 years ago lol get over it

Two-time NCAA champion MyKayla Skinner of Utah announced today her intent to explore the possibility of a berth on the 2020 USA Gymnastics team.

Two-time NCAA champion MyKayla Skinner of Utah announced today her intent to explore the possibility of a berth on the 2020 USA Gymnastics team. She has been invited to participate in the National Team Camp in June. Skinner, an alternate on the five-person 2016 USA Olympic team, placed fourth in the all-around at the 2016 Olympic Trials. She was the 2016 Glasgow World Cup all-around champion. “I love competing for the University of Utah and am so grateful to my coaches, teammates and the 15,000 fans who come and support us every (home) meet,” said Skinner. “In my three years at Utah, I have grown and matured as a gymnast, made improvements to my form and refined my technique. While I love college gymnastics, I’d like to try and compete for my country. I see the opportunity to pursue an Olympic berth as a chance of a lifetime. If things don’t work out for whatever the reason, I plan to return to the University of Utah for my senior year.” “MyKayla is a world-class gymnast and we are supportive of her desire to test the waters of resuming her international career,” said Utah head coach Tom Farden. “She has the opportunity to participate in National Team Camp and qualify to the American Classic and beyond. The Classics will allow her to gauge if she wants to continue to pursue an Olympic berth. We are keeping a roster spot open for MyKayla should she wish to come back this fall. Obviously, we would love to have her back for her senior season.”
