Mykayla Skinner finally made the U.S. women’s Olympics 2020 gymnastics team after being left off the Rio 2016 squad.
The 24-year-old Arizonan’s vault is good enough to land her on the podium alongside teammate Simone Biles, but she might not get the chance to try.
Fellow Arizonan Jade Carey, 21, earned one of those spots for her performances at World Cup events. Skinner, who trains less than an hour away from Carey, was awarded the second spot last month at U.S. team trials after finishing fifth overall. In Rio, the two-per-country rule kept American Gabby Douglas, the defending Olympic all-around winner, out of all-around finals despite finishing third in qualifications.
