Mckayla Maroney has been super vocal on insta lately about her experience competing, and how the U.S. girls must be going through/feeling and I’m obsessed! I can’t wait for her book to come out!
From the video:
- Two weeks before trials she hit the back of her head so hard that she broke her nose and kept failing concussion tests over and over (obviously they cleared her to compete anyways)
- She broke her foot on beam right after arriving in london and blames Marta for making them practice immediately after getting off the plane (and having her do beam which she wasn’t scheduled to do anyways)
- Larry lied to Marta and said that it wasn’t a new injury
- She said that event finals were particularly awful for staying warm because it was longer than any individual rotation in the TF or AA
- She couldn’t feel her legs at all for the first half of her vault run and said this is probably what happened to Jade
God, every time I think I’ve heard the dumbest shit the karolyi’s did I learn something else
