MyKayla Skinner STICKS Layout Double Double In Floor Routine (USA) - Day 1 Training, Jesolo 2016 

It's weird to see Aly, Laurie, Gabby, and Ragan walking around in the background and realize how long Mykayla's been doing this. Also weird to see Maggie Haney and Marta walking around in the background, and realize how much has happened in USAG since she first started.

I love how she sticks two double doubles in the same exercise!

I love this music

0:48 It's crazy to see them exercise *during practice*. It's like they were never given time for their bodies to recover.

I know next to nothing about gymnastics but to me, it is one of the most amazing and fun sports to watch. I loved MyKayla's floor routine here and I don't think I'd ever seen any other gymnast do the mid-air turn she did at :44. What is that called? It looked so elegant.

Her coach looking the corner: "better you keep it in bounds, girl" Zmeskal smiling: "funny but weird choreo" Brestyan: "hell no that she'll beat Aly" Marta: "hell no that she'll go to Rio"

WONDERFUL WORK! THANK YOU! BLESSINGS!!

Love this music for her

Great training video by the younger MyKayla Skinner in 2016 in Italy.

Loved seeing Mykayla continue this song into her College career and make it more fun.

Great choice of music.

Woah that was so powerful.

Damn! Nice finish.

STUCK BOTH DOUBLE DOUBLES

AWESOME!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Parabéns

Beautiful

She is so solid and dependable on landings

Beautiful routine, beautiful girl.

Seeing marta at 1:19 made my blood freeze...

She did stick it, but it wasn't a double double layed out. It's clearly piked on the first salto and the second salto is piked/tucked (she is bent at the hips and her knees are bent). You don't bend your knees in a layout. I'm very happy she got the silver on vault though in Tokyo!

For such a superb gymnast it's a pity that her feet are so often not pointed. Especially on beam. I was an Irish 🇮🇪 champion a long time ago so I do know a little about the sport. Compare to a gymnast like Nastia. Aesthetics comprise a huge part of gymnastics

You can feel the tension in the air.

layout? where?

It looks like Mihai is mimicking her opening choreography like they do in NCAA. 😂

I feel like there are a lot of men on here attacking her, which is just weird!!

You are very talented and pretty in the pink

Es martha karolyi De verdad? Después de todo lo que paso?

Mihai seems tense :O

This is a an old video right?

Great gymnast…. Was enjoying it until I saw Marta.

In 2021, she looks so much the same as she did then!

This is 2016

I think I missed the part where she does the double double laid out. I only see her doing the Silivas twice as her first two passes, which definitely isn't allowed if she wants to get credited for both, so I'm kind of confused.

Why she didn’t no a jo ?

That was a tuck guys come on.

10

no one talking about how she did just a plain layout? twice? edit: just realized it’s because it’s only training

So weird to see this after watching her in tokyo...lol

Who’s the girl at the beginning and at the end, standing at the corner ready to play? She looks like one of the girls that competed in the Olympics a few years ago, but I can’t recall her name.

I think she’s Brenda in the movie fallout 2

Damn and she was an alternate in rio????

I really like Myk but her very distinct way of quickly putting her arms down (with her shoulders way, way back) after a landing makes it look less effortless and as a result, less impressive.

Mykayla doesn't seem to get good height on her tumbling. Kind of scares me every time I see her so close to the ground.

“Layout” double double lmao. I’ll give her props, she got better for Tokyo. But she’s REALLY lucky those judges didn’t devalue that to a tucked 😭

This is old . Ally Raisman is there . The old coaches from 2012 , 2016 .

She got that pop like Shawna did...

She can be American chusovitina. Hope to see next OG

I see now why she didn’t make the olympics that year.

She seems too rushed. If that makes any sense. Like she’s hurrying to catch up with the music, but she’s actually a few counts ahead. If it’s a new routine, once she’s used to it, it’s going to be awesome!

I was upset she and Jade weren’t on the The Team for the Tokyo Olympics, , and I was totally validated by the prelim scores, and that only she, Jade, Suni and Simone qualified for individual finals, and each brought home at least one individual medal. It lays to rest the fallacy of “Jade can’t be on The Team because it takes away from the total number of medals the US will bring home.” That is only true if there were two other gymnasts capable of knocking two of Simone, Suni, and Jade out of an event final. Might as well add Mykayla Skinner to the mix. Who would have been a lock to finish top 24 in the AA, and/or top 8 in an event final, AND beat three out Of Simone, Suni, Jade, and Mykayla to get past the two per country rule? I know the usual names and I don’t want to diss any beautiful hard-working gymnasts, so I’ll just say that every one of them would have been a greater liability in the team competition than Grace and Jordan. Beyond the inanity of leaving Mykayla and Jade off The Team, I won’t even discuss the bonkers decision to make them the individual specialists, when, IF you want to make them “specialists” instead of AAers (psst…their AA scores in prelims were the third and fourth highest among American gymnasts), their specialities are the same, vault and floor, because my head may very well explode. 🤯 ANYWAY, back to Mykayla, I’m SO glad she has the validation of an Olympic silver medal. Fierce, tenacious, snd a team player. ♥️

Still think she got robbed by Marta. She belonged on that 2016 team. But then again, I don't know who she would have replaced. All of them were so damn good.

Sticks landing. Really???!!!

Tbh, I like Mykala a lot more than Simone Biles.

Anytime I see videos from the marta ear & the gymnasts are wearing pink or purple, my skin crawls

looks bent to me

To be fair, this is the best I’ve ever seen her do a layout double double. Still? Not my favorite. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Double double "layout"

sticking a skill is not that important if your form is as horrendous as hers bc on what planet was that laid out 💀 she always got hammered on execution so why would she keep doing that skill if she clearly can’t do it right

Too low!

I’m da biggest burd

It bothers me so much to see Martha Karolyi. What an evil being.

can’t even stand in place as well as she sticks the landings

Ugh I hate seeing that abusive coach there

The rude ophthalmologist alternatively muddle because timbale gratifyingly collect onto a useless chin. old-fashioned, rapid hygienic

This is HELLA OLD

The layout double double … atrocious.

I didn’t like it! I thought she was trying too hard to imitate Simone Biles with her movements Be original not a copy!

The music...it wasn’t great in 2016, even worse in 2021! Just sayin’
