After another strong night at the U.S. Olympic Trials where she again finished fourth in the all-around, MyKayla Skinner narrowly missed making the U.S. Olympic gymnastics team. She will be an alternate for the team at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. On the team are defending world champion Simone Biles, defending Olympic all-around gold medalist Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman a member of the 2012 U.S. gymnastics gold medal winning team, Laurie Hernandez, and defending world champion on the uneven bars Madison Kocian. There could be a multitude of different reasons why other gymnasts were chosen over her even though she scored better than several of them.
