Who Is MyKayla Skinner? 5 Things to Know About the Olympic Gymnast


Olympic medalist MyKayla Skinner made headlines for criticizing the work ethic of the 2024 Paris Olympics U.S. women's gymnastics team

Ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, Skinner faced backlash for criticizing members of Team USA’s women’s gymnastics squad in a since-deleted YouTube video. Skinner later apologized via her Instagram Story, stating that her words were “misinterpreted” and “misunderstood.” She explained: “A lot of the stuff I was talking about wasn’t always necessarily about the current team because I love and support all the girls that made it and I’m so proud of them.” Katharine Lotze/Getty Images Biles once again appeared to shade Skinner’s comments after she and her teammates took home gold during the Paris Olympics women’s gymnastics team competition in July 2024.
