Summary

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.
