Olympic medalist MyKayla Skinner has been at the center of controversy after comments she made about work ethic among gymnasts were seemingly criticized by former teammate Simone Biles. Biles raised eyebrows with a caption on Instagram that appeared to reference Skinner’s earlier remarks. Despite the drama, Skinner’s husband shared videos of her at a gymnastics camp, interacting with children and showing a more positive side of her life.
In the midst of the drama, Skinner has not directly addressed the backlash but has seemingly responded by blocking Biles on social media, as hinted at by Jordan Chiles in an Instagram Story post. The tension between the two former teammates has caused a stir among fans and fellow gymnasts, with McKayla Maroney and Suni Lee also sharing their thoughts on the situation on social media.
Skinner previously apologized for her comments, stating that they were misinterpreted and not intended to be about the current team. However, the fallout from the incident continues to generate speculation and discussion within the gymnastics community. As Team USA competes at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the attention remains on the athletes and the relationships between them, both on and off the mat.
