22 july 2024 в 21:28
The days are getting closer to the 2024 Olympics in Paris, and the USA gymnastics team has already set foot on the ground of the «City of Love».
Every four years, the Olympic Games take place to showcase the skills of the world’s most highly skilled athletes in competitions. «The history of the Games dates back approximately 3,000 years, to the Peloponnese in Ancient Greece. Sporting competitions organized in Olympia took place every four years and were named the Olympic Games», - as stated on the Olympics website.
The world has had the opportunity to see athletes like Michael Phelps, Naomi Osaka, Usain Bolt, and others.
In a post published by Simone Biles, she gave an insight into the team’s training. The group of girls was photographed in their matching uniforms with the American flag. The 27-year-old gold medalist captioned the post with three French flags. Each of the other girls also reposted training photos on their social media.
This inspiring group is ready to compete on the field starting from July 26th — the beginning of this Olympics. This post came shortly after former gymnast Mykayla Skinner expressed her opinion in a now-deleted Youtube video, saying: «Besides Simone… I feel like the talent and depth just isn’t there like it used to be. I mean, obviously, a lot of the girls aren’t working as hard. The work ethic just isn’t there for some of the girls».
The 27-year-old later spoke out about this and how they misunderstood her comment. She noted in her apology on Instagram Stories: «Hey guys… A lot of what I was saying wasn’t always referring to the current team because I love and support all the girls who made it, and I’m so proud of them. It was more so going back to my own gym and just the work ethic is different compared to how we did gymnastics in the Marta (Karolyi) era».
Olympic gymnast teammate Gabby Douglas, who unfortunately had to withdraw from this Olympics due to an ankle injury, shared: «Honestly, if you have a certain way of doing things, listen to your body… If you don’t need the hours of pounding or you don’t need a stricter coach, and it works for you, then I say why not structure around how your mind works, how your body works… I really believe you can’t put everyone in one category… It’s just my opinion, everyone is different», - she told E! News
