I know I'm not the only one who cried when they saw Mykayla on the podium with a silver medal. I'm so so proud of you Mykayla with all the hard work and effort you have put into your gymnastics career :)

"I feel like my unfinished business is officially finished". This is so satisfying/inspiring/awesome/impressive/incredible/deserved/perfect. CONGRATS MYK !!!!

Enjoy your well-deserved vacation and then PLEASE do an Olympic haul video - I'm SO curious to know what everyone got in those duffle bags.

I love how the title is so casual. It’s like a to-do list 11: tour Olympic village Noon: eat sushi 2: win silver medal

Good morning. I am a Japanese living in Tokyo. Due to the influence of the coronavirus, the tournament was postponed for one year, and I think it was difficult due to the adjustment of conditions and the difficult environment. Please rest your body slowly. You’ve done great work. Congratulations on the silver medal!! We look forward to seeing you again in Japan!

What a journey. Of course nobody is mad at you for not sticking a GoPro to your forehead and enjoying the ride. Though that would have been quite a picture, you with a GoPro on your forehead vaulting - that would have made these Olympics true 20's Olympics! 😁 👏👍

What a rollercoaster of emotions! Actually your story is my fav of the olympics. Following your journey, sharing your pain and gain was such a great documentation of how hard it is to be an olympic athlete, physically and mentally. You are such a funny, true and authentic person and you deserve your victory so much! Never change and all the best for your future! And now enjoy your holiday time!
-
The fact that you vlogged anything is much appreciated! Hope you enjoyed every minute of your special experience!

Simone's Bronze was so wonderful! I am so happy she was able to compete that one last time. I cried when you won your silver and cried when she was able to overcome her twisties. You both are great American champions!

The chefs with their banner saying they were proud to cook for you literally made me weep a bit. They’re so cute❤️

Couldn't be more proud of you, Myk! Ending your elite career with an Olympic medal! 🥈🇺🇲 #USA CONGRATULATIONS

Seeing you kiss the silver medal was the BEST! So happy your dreams came true; you EARNED it!

Congratulations on your silver medal 🥈!!!! So happy for you to achieve the “icing on the cake.” Love to see all the support between all of the team. I’m glad you’re there for each other, cheering, and behind the scenes supporting. Weirdest Olympics ever, but glad that it went well for you…enjoy your well deserved vacation!

Omg, don't even feel bad for not filming. This is your time, your journey, and your experience, and you need to live it. It's not every day you go to the Olympics. I am so proud of you and how far you've come, and you did an AMAZING job in vault finals. ❤❤❤ Lots of love and have a safe journey home.

I’ve been watching your journey for a while and when I saw you’d won a medal, I was honestly so proud for you! You’ve been on an incredible journey and seeing you win a medal was definitely the cherry on the top! Enjoy your vacation, very well deserved!! Xx
