Joining Biles on the womenā€™s roster, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, and newcomer Hezly Rivera.After the squad was announced, MyKayla Skinner, who won a silver medal on vault at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics,

chimed in with her thoughts on this yearā€™s roster during a two hour watch party on YouTube.ā€Besides Simone,ā€ Skinner said. ā€œI feel like the talent and the depth just isnā€™t what it used to be. I mean, obviously, a lot of girls donā€™t work as hard. The girls just donā€™t have the work ethic.ā€MyKayla Skinner is really out here advocating for abusing athletes and thinking sheā€™s something special when she only made the team as an individual (she didnā€™t participate in team AA) and she only competed because Simone withdrew. Girl, shut up.

After seeing three girls suffer devastating injuries during the trials, Skye Blakely, Shilese Jones, and Kayla DiCello, Skinner said she wished she made a comeback this year. ā€œNot saying anything to the girls that got injured, but if I could come back, I think I would be able to do it. And I think I probably couldā€™ve made that Olympic team.ā€Skinner, who also criticized SafeSport for limiting how tough coaches can be, faced immediate backlash for her comments, including from Biles.MyKayla Skinner is really out here advocating for abusing athletes and thinking sheā€™s something special when she only made the team as an individual (she didnā€™t participate in team AA) and she only competed because Simone withdrew.

ā€Not everyone needs a mic and a platform,ā€ Biles posted on Threads.Gina Chiles, mother of Jordan Chiles posted on X, ā€œWhoa. She really said that out loud and posted it. Thatā€™s somethingā€¦.ā€Skinner posted an apology on her Instagram Stories on July 3. ā€œHey guys just wanted to pop on here really quick cuz I know we did the re-cap on YouTube and I feel like a lot of you guys had misinterpreted or misunderstood exactly what I was meaning or had said.

ā€A lot of the stuff that I was talking about wasnā€™t always necessarily about the current team because I love and support all the girls that made it and Iā€™m so proud of them. It was more about going back into my own gym and just the work ethic is different compared to when we were doing gymnastics in the Marta (Karolyi) era.ā€ā€And Iā€™m not sticking up for MĆ”rta or saying what she did was good,ā€ Skinner continued. ā€œIā€™m just saying it was different. So anyway, sorry for anything that got out of context or seemed hurtful; that was never my intention and seriously, throughout the video.ā€Ā
