  • I'm finally competing on uneven bars again! It's been 2 months since I had my 3rd surgery on my right elbow, so it's been a challenge. I left myself some room for improvement, but had a great time competing with my team.

    Good job! I love watching you on beam and floor. So elegant and powerful. Bars will get there. Just takes some time to get it all back. You’ve got it though….great job!

  • @swim4scofield
    @swim4scofield Před 2 lety +71

    8th AA! That's some tough competition! Because your scores were really good!
    Don't be so hard on yourself. Really the only cause for concern imho was the wobble on the beam series, but I thought the rest of that routine looked really good. And series wobbles just happen sometimes - I'm sure you'll be rock solid next meet. Floor looked solid, too. Your vault was probably the best I remember seeing you do - the landing was much more controlled. And don't worry about bars - it was your first time competing in a while! Plus, as you say, you didn't get a proper warmup. You did absolutely fabulous!

    Whitney, you are such a beautiful gymnast. You should get extra points for that awesome flexibility and your loooong stature. You are special, especially coming back from elbow surgery. Please keep on, you are great to watch.

  • @haldayley3386
    @haldayley3386 Před 2 lety +44

    WHITNEY, you’re so mentally & emotionally mature now. . You are so VERY CONFIDENT and you’re outlook is accurate. You don’t feel down on yourself because you are about to overcome the training deficit caused by three surgeries each of which would cause a whimp to give up & leave gymnastics. . 👍🏻 I’ve heard the comments of collegiate gymnastic coaches about you👏✅🎯 Your coaches at Alabama are said to be very eager to work with you in therapeutic training. The collegiate gymnastic world has said that Alabama “REALLY SCORED BY GETTING YOU IN THEIR PROGRAM.” I say that you really scored by getting into their program. The CRIMSON TIDE WOMEN’S GYMNASTIC PROGRAM IS A PERFECT MATCH FOR YOUR OLYMPIC PREPARATION NEEDS‼️👍🏻🥴🎯 For now you owe allegiance to Alabama (They Own Your Gymnastics‼️) but when you graduate, YOU’LL BE A BIG ASSET TO THE USA WOMEN’S GYMNASTIC TEAM 😉

    Great job just competing everything with recent surgery. Your bars will be amazing once you get your endurance back. It seemed like you struggled to keep your elbows straight at times and that is probably because of your surgery. You will be back to full strength soon. Congratulations on a great meet!

    I laughed so hard at the end with Braxton and his excitement! You can be really really proud on yourself Whitney, you must be working really hard after everything that you've been through with your elbow! And I can still remember the times when you were little and you had to cry sometimes when you fell down. And of course it's okay to cry sometimes, but if you compare that to who you are now, I think you also grew a lot mentally! I am so so so proud on you and I hope that you are proud on yourself too!❤ I can't wait to see what the future brings for you. Lots of love from the Netherlands😘
