FILE- Mykayla Skinner, of United States, prepares to vault during the artistic gymnastics women's apparatus final at the 2020 Summer Olympics , Sunday, Aug. 1, 2021, in Tokyo, Japan. The Olympic medal-winning gymnast has come under fire for alleging that gymnastics coaches are scared to do their job out of fear they will be reported for abusive behavior. She has since walked back those comments, saying she did not intend to disrespect any of the women who will compete for the U.S.
" have to be really careful about what they say, which in some ways is really good, but at the same time, to get where you need to be in gymnastics, you have to be a little aggressive and a little intense," Skinner said. "Besides Simone , I feel like the talent and the depth just isn't like what it used to be," Skinner said. "Just notice like, I mean, obviously a lot of girls don't work as hard. The girls just don't have the work ethic."
She also said she hadn't fully dealt with the emotional and verbal abuse she experienced while training under former U.S. national team coordinator Martha Karolyi.
