MyKayla Skinner Training A New Vault

While everyone else deals with their post worlds depression with tears and videos of their favorite worlds routines, MyKayla Skinner was upgrading her skills.



MyKayla is seen on this Instagram video training a Yurchenko half on two and a half twists off. This vault in the men's code is a Li Xiaopeng. Named for Li Xiaopeng, a three time Chinese vault world champion and an Olympic champion on parallel bars. MyKayla is on a mission. She's going to have a skill named for her in the code yet!
