McKayla Rose Maroney is an American retired artistic gymnast and singer. She was a member of the American women's gymnastics team dubbed the Fierce Five at the 2012 Summer Olympics, where she won a gold medal in the team and an individual silver medal in the vault event. Maroney was also a member of the gold-winning American team at the 2011 World Championships, where she won gold medals in the team and vault competitions. She defended her World title and won the gold medal on vault at the 2013 World Championships, becoming the first U.S. female gymnast to defend a World Championship vault title. Considered the greatest gymnast of all time, Biles surprised the world last week when she withdrew from the women's team all-around final, citing mental health concerns. She later pulled out of the individual all-around finals and then the vault, uneven bars and floor exercise finals too.
Widely considered among the greatest gymnasts of all time, Biles shocked fans when she withdrew from the women's team finals mid-competition Tuesday, leaving her teammates to compete without her and ultimately win silver medals. She also pulled out of the individual all-around finals, an event that showcases four different skills. Biles later explained that she's grappling with the "twisties," a well-known phenomenon in which gymnasts start losing control midair and struggle to finish complex maneuvers safely. She told fans on social media that competing in her current condition could prove dangerous. Biles also cited a need to look after her mental health, a revelation that drew support from other athletes and celebrities. Jade Carey and Skinner competed as individuals and are not part of the women's gymnastics team event, which holds its final on Tuesday.
Jade Carey, of the United States, poses after winning the gold medal for the floor exercise during the artistic gymnastics women's apparatus final at the 2020 Summer Olympics. 2016 Olympic team champion and balance beam silver medalist; 2016 U.S. all-around, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise bronze medalist; 2016 Pacific Rim team gold medalist. Ashley Landis — The Associated Press Jade Carey, of the United States, poses after winning the gold medal for the floor exercise during the artistic gymnastics women's apparatus final at the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Skinner competed on all four apparatuses — vault, uneven bars, floor exercise and beam — during the qualifying round and received a complete score of 55.398, placing her fourth among American competitors and 11th within the competition within the all-around.
But just two gymnasts per country can advance to the finals in individual competition.

The women's team captured the silver medal after Biles withdrew Tuesday because of mental health issues she says are resulting in "the twisties," a loss of air awareness.
Skinner's fans are confused as to why she was once again snubbed for the team competition, because her high level of vault difficulty would have made her contributions to the team score slightly higher than McCallum's will. However, McCallum's floor exercise, while not as difficult as Skinner's, is typically executed more cleanly and scores higher. Teammate Sunisa Lee stepped in to take the gold medal in the all-around competition, while another member of the US team, Jade Carey, won the gold medal in the floor exercise.

Olympic Trials, even though they knew it meant she was giving up a shot at making the four-woman team that ended up winning silver during the team competition last week.
Following her qualification round, Biles was set to compete in all four of the events. In Rio's 2016 Olympics, she won four golds -- in vault, floor, individual all-around and team all-around -- and performed with such distinction that she was chosen as the US flag bearer at the closing ceremonies.

Biles has noted on social media that she's been suffering from the "twisties" -- a phenomenon in which gymnasts lose the ability to tell where their body is while performing twists, making it difficult to negotiate a safe landing. Unlike Biles' other events, her beam routine doesn't rely as heavily on twists, aside from her dismount, which she replaced on Tuesday with a double pike. When she had a chance to qualify for Tokyo this year, she placed fifth in the all-around and was named as the plus-one specialist.

MyKayla Skinner won Silver at the Tokyo Olympics after stepping in for Simone Biles. Her dreams of taking home a medal came true after she crushed the gymnastics vault finals on Sunday.

But in each case, the states are looking to persuade uninsured Americans, especially young ones, to go ahead and buy health insurance. Starting next year, just about everyone in the U.S. will be required to have health insurance. Some states are cracking wise in ads about the exchanges, where people will be able to shop for insurance starting in October.
The federal health care law is taking on unique personalities in states that have opted to run their own health insurance marketplaces. Skinner, along side Carey, was only competing in individual events, a recent move for the games which will be phased out for 2024, so she won't be a part of the team events.

This means a patient could believe his or her emergency air transport was taken care of, only to face a rude awakening when the bill came. Nationwide, though, state insurance leaders, politicians and even one of the nation's largest air ambulance companies have raised concerns about the slickly marketed membership campaigns. The memberships often don't include every ambulance company in an area, and the choice of which medevac service answers a call is out of a consumer's hands.
