Gymnast MyKayla Skinner‘s time at the 2020 Tokyo Games is over after colleague Jade Carey scored the 2nd area in the vault finals. While her journey to the podium has actually concerned an end, MyKayla assures audiences they have not seen the last of her.
“This is closing the book on my gymnastics career, and my only regrets were things outside my control. So no regrets,” the 24-year-old professional athlete composes on Instagram on July 26. “For now I will just try to fill the hole in my heart.”
She continues, “Don’t be a stranger here or on my YouTube! Lots of fun things coming.”
As for how MyKayla is feeling, the Olympian confesses she’s still processing the occasions of the past 48 hours. “Heartbroken is an understatement, but I am proud of myself for getting here after everything I’ve been through,” MyKayla shows. “I would have loved for my scores to count for the team and I would have loved to compete in event finals but I still did some of my best gymnastics here as an Olympian and that’s something no one can take away from me.”
