MyKayla Skinner sparked controversy among her fellow Olympic gymnasts when she criticized their work ethic
Olympian MyKayla Skinner made waves in the gymnastics community when she criticized the Paris hopefuls during the Olympic Trials.
Per their website, the U.S. Center for SafeSport is an independent organization designed to prevent and respond “to sexual, physical, and emotional abuse” in the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic movement. It is not known if SafeSport is currently investigating any misconduct surrounding the current women’s Olympic gymnastics team: Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera.
“Whoa. She really said that out loud and posted it. That's something,” Chiles’ mother, Gina, wrote via X on Wednesday, July 3.Skinner has since apologized for her actions, claiming her remarks were “misinterpreted” and “misunderstood.” Karolyi was the former national team coordinator for USA Gymnastics. During her tenure, athletes were allegedly required to follow her strict rules without asking questions or voicing objections according to a 2018 éxposé from the Associated Press.
