Skinner Apologizes After Questioning Talent and Work Ethic of Current US Team

Former Team USA gymnast MyKayla Skinner has issued an apology following her controversial comments about the current US women's gymnastics team. Skinner, 27, recently apologized after she questioned the talent and work ethic of this year's US team during a YouTube video.

In a video that has since been deleted, Skinner criticized the team's performance at the Olympic Trials and said that she believed the team was not as talented or hardworking as past US teams. Her comments sparked backlash from fans and fellow gymnasts, who accused her of being disrespectful and undermining the current team's efforts.

In a statement posted on Twitter, Skinner apologized for her comments and said that she had not intended to insult the current team. She said that she had been emotional and frustrated at the time she made the video and that she regretted her choice of words.

"I want to apologize to the current US women's gymnastics team for my comments," Skinner wrote. "I was emotional and frustrated at the time and I said things that I should not have. I regret my choice of words and I am truly sorry for any hurt or offense I caused."

Skinner's apology was met with mixed reactions. Some fans accepted her apology, while others remained critical of her comments. The current US women's gymnastics team has not yet publicly responded to Skinner's apology.
