Team USA selecting its most controversial gymnast has fans across the gymternet arguing.
. And for what it’s worth, she’s fully vaccinated now, too. While I usually steer clear of both sides–ism, in this case both sides have a point: It’s fair for people who feel marginalized and hurt by Skinner’s behavior to decline to forgive her and to wish she hadn’t made Forster’s cut; it’s also fair if other people find her efforts at contrition have sufficed, and to cheer her on.
Over and above Skinner’s “comportment” issues, some gymnastics fans also simply don’t care for her because, bluntly put, her gymnastics is spectacular, but it isn’t pretty. She has always been a daredevil first and foremost, famous from her senior debut in 2012 for throwing the most difficult skills she possibly can. Skinner is equally famous for a technique that sometimes borders on chucking and execution that is notoriously bereft of, say, Biles’ breathtaking air or Lee’s beautiful lines.
