Team USA’s women’s gymnastics team won gold on Tuesday in Paris AFP But a feud between the team and ex-member MyKayla Skinner erupted after the ceremony Getty Skinner has previously called out the team for lacking a work ethic Getty
Skinner , a silver medalist on beam at Tokyo 2020, criticized the team for a lack of work ethic in the run-up to this summer’s Games.
“Besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn’t like what it used to be,” Skinner said in a now-removed YouTube clip, per the NY Post.
“The girls just don’t have the work ethic.”
Skinner apologized for the remarks in an emotional Instagram post last month.
“I want to formally apologize to Team USA and to our gymnastic community for my comments during my recent YouTube episodes of the gymnastics Olympic trials, Skinner wrote on July 6.
“It was not my intention to offend or disrespect any of the athletes or to take away from their hard work.”
