MyKayla Skinner Vaults Into Olympic-Sized Controversy
Rich and Weekly - A podcast by Wondery - Thursdays
Categories:
Richies, we’ve got ourselves an Olympic-sized beef. Silver medal-winning gymnast MyKayla Skinner recently stirred things up when she strongly criticized the training program and work ethic of today’s Olympic gymnasts in a now-deleted YouTube video. People are reacting strongly online - including two fellow Olympians, Simone Biles and Dominique Moceanu. They are not giving her high scores. MyKayla’s trying to walk back her comments, but every time she apologizes, she seems to make things worse. Listen to Rich and Daily on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
