I literally can't stop crying, she is such an amazing person and gymnast and to have your senior season cut short like that😭😭😭 I was there, I can feel the pain, sending all the good and healing vibes and lots of strenght
But let's be real. The coaching staff has always known she is tender. Kiya needs a 2 pass routine and to be paced properly. She didn't need to be on floor so early in the season.
The commentators and a lot of people think that happened with the short landing, but I personally don’t think so. I had Achilles tendinitis in college too and the back handspring punch INTO my next skill is what got me. If you play her last pass slowly, you can see she’s not in a tight pike, she doesn’t have her typical take off, and really closely on her punch, her ankle stretched more than a usual back handspring punch. And what’s crazy, is that during this exact routine I was just talking about how she still uses so much power on her backhand springs with tendinitis in her Achilles bc after I tore mine, I wish I would’ve transferred to round offs before the inevitable happened. Get well soon Kiya, road to recovery!
Same thing happened to Lynzee from Denver last year :// it makes sense. In gymnastics you rebound off your toes; your heels don’t hit the ground.. and if you’re trying to get that much momentum out of the back handspring, it’s a lot of pressure on your Achilles. I hate that it always happens on the takeoff bc the poor gymnast still has to land 😬
@@Eowyn126 Luckily when I tore my Achilles on my back handspring. In my mind I was going for a double Arabian but as soon as I felt a snap, I did a tuck full, landed one leg to a backwards candle stick basically so I was good there but I can just imagine still going for the skill knowing you still have to land safely. Let me tell you, just in my tuck full up in the air, it felt like I was up there for 30 seconds because so many thoughts were going through my mind as of what just happened lol
@@gc5808 that sounds horrible - luckily I never had an injury like that when I was a gymnast (I just had a couple broken bones lol). I’m glad you were able to have the presence of mind to change plans on the spot!
Messed up my knee on a rebound that was gonna be a layout- thankfully I didn’t even try for the layout. Then 2 ish years later i stubbornly went to stick a standing back and completely obliterated it. None of this shiz is normal on our bodies
Wishing her a speedy recovery, but ultimately there is a problem with womens ncaa gymnastics, and this is it right here. We need to talk about it. Injuries after injuries, particularly torn Achilles, acls, etc. the ncaa womens gymnastics model focuses so much on making their programs fun and easier (as compared to their previous JO career, still not easy, but relatively much easier), and so on. But they clearly aren’t doing what they need to do to prevent these injuries. Now I don’t want to come off of insensitive, but someone needs to point it out. Gymnastics is extremely hard on the body and you need to be in extremely good shape and really damn strong to prevent injuries (even those who are strong and in good shape can still have accidents, but when the injuries are happening at this rate, it is not from chance alone). The ncaa girls simply are not in good enough shape to do the skills they do, and in doing so we see way too many of these injuries. I could go on a huge rant of all the things that are problematic about womens gymnastics and ncaa womens gymnastics in general. But ultimately there are biological, physiological, and anatomical changes that will happen to pretty much all women who are in college. And if you don’t account for these changes, injuries will happen and it’s terrible to see. Additionally, so many of the girls have had to deal with so many negative experiences in their gyms prior to college and when they get to college, the college model tries to make gymnatics a much more positive experience and much more fun (as it should be anyways, but that’s a different rant). But having fun and being positive should not at the expensive of these athletes blowing out their Achilles, acls, etc.
Jay Clark is trash. He never should have had Kiya in the lineup due to her injury history. And she should have had a two pass routine. And he wonders why Georgia fired him.
Do you actually think Simone Biles would make the team in 2024? It be amazing if she made a third Olympics but after how she did in Tokyo team all around there might be a different line up?
watch any ncaa injury. that’s always what happens. the team needs to regroup. it’s hard enough to watch one of your best friends go down, but you still have to keep your head in the game so you don’t lose focus and get injured too
Adding on to what other commenters have said already, it's much easier for the coaches and the medical team to help the injured athlete without a bunch of people crowding around the injured athlete.
It’s weird to see her teammates huddle up and just focus on themselves….Like do that when she’s safely off the floor…..not while she’s lying there hurting
It's much easier for the medical staff and coaches to help the injured athlete, if said athlete isn't being swarmed by her teammates. And also they aren't allowed to do that anyway.
I've seen worse injuries in the NFL. This is nothing compared to what NFL players go through. Gymnasts are soft, weak and fragile. Gymnasts are the most injury prone athletes in all of pro sports.
Gymnasts are also athletes who consistently perform while injured. And their sport isn't focused on taking out other players. So who is really more prone to injury???
How can gymnasts take out other gymnasts when they don't compete against each other but rather against themselves to get the best score. It's not as if two opposing gymnasts are on the floor together at the same time. Also, NFL players regularly compete while injured all the time as well. Gymnasts are more fragile and injury prone than NFL players are since gymnastics is a non contact sport.
I literally can't stop crying, she is such an amazing person and gymnast and to have your senior season cut short like that😭😭😭 I was there, I can feel the pain, sending all the good and healing vibes and lots of strenght
Agreed 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Jesus loves you!!
Damn, I hate when anyone gets injured! Prayers for speedy recovery! 🙏🏾
I totally agree 100%
But let's be real. The coaching staff has always known she is tender. Kiya needs a 2 pass routine and to be paced properly. She didn't need to be on floor so early in the season.
Yeah, not sure why she was pushed so early into the season. I wish she was rested a bit more.
Let's be real. Gymnastics are not for black people. Let's be real okay. 😁😁
Ugh that's definitely a torn achillies I feel horrible for her. I hope she has a speedy recovery and is granted another year 🙏🏾
😔😔😔🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
she was doing beautifully, hope she gets better and can still compete afterwards
Sadly she is out for the season. Her surgery is this week. I hope she takes a 5th year. She still has so much to give.
Nooooo, I’m in tears. Im praying and sending love to Kiya. I felt that pain😭😭
Really, really hope she is okay- LSU literally cannot afford to not have her
They lost their heads after this routine
@@ieuanwainwright98 mostly- atleast Haleigh kept it together on beam, and Elena really rose to the occasion on beam as well!
@@madelineaanderson yes I was so happy for elena
What a thoughtless thing to say.
@@stevec6002 how they rlly did it rattled them
Your going to come back even stronger! Sending all my love and hugs and prayers for you to get better ♥️!
Prayers for Kiya Johnson!
Prayers for Kiya.. give her healing and help her get the strength to return.. Prayers to all the athletes!
Praying for you Kiya and hope you will soon be feeling better!!!!

So glad all the commenters know what she tore. Because I had no idea! Thanks guys!
Sending healing to Kiya Johnson and a speedy recovery.
I hope that she's ok
Prayers for her recovery
I hate to say it, but it looks so very much like every torn achilles tumbling take off I've ever seen.
My heart breaks for her!!!!
I feel so bad for her! Hope she heals well.
Today I watched Kiya and LSU win Natty’s!!
O no! I hope her recovery goes well
I hope she’s ok! That was really scary!
i may be wrong but im 100% sure she tore her left achilles
Nooo!!! Hope she is ok
I am sorry she got injured!
I feel so bad😢😢
Yikes! It appears that she tore her Achilles tendon. 😢
Poor baby! I hope she recovers soon.
Poor kid. I hope she gets better soon.
if you hate surprises, the tumbling pass starts at 1:16
I was there
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿💔💔💔💔😔😔😔😔
Jesus loves you!!
Please get rid of Jay. He can’t keep gymnasts well - he ran UGA into the ground and has done the same for LSU. He needs to go.

😂
So how many of lsu got hurt in this tournament 🤔
Llomencia anyone? Kiya has that same energy.
Are there any further reports on her?
Torn Achilles
Sadly this wasn't the only injury during this meet.
Where can I watch the readlstbif this I love watching the competitions
Oh no :(
She doesn't give up. Hang in there.
Ouch poor thing
Jay Clark is trash. He never should have had Kiya in the lineup due to her injury history. And she should have had a two pass routine. And he wonders why Georgia fired him.
Is she out for the season?
According to the comments, yes. She had to have surgery for a torn Achilles
This floor seemed dodgy, lots of falls
What’s happened?
Torn Achilles
I can’t wait to see Simone biles and Sni lee at the 2024 summer Olympic Games in Paris France 🇫🇷
Do you actually think Simone Biles would make the team in 2024? It be amazing if she made a third Olympics but after how she did in Tokyo team all around there might be a different line up?
Simone has retired
That looks like a compound fracture?! Looks like there’s bone protruding from left calf 🤢
I’m confused why her team wasn’t even looking her way or helping her or offering support lmaooo.
Probably to help keep them calm(er) and to allow for the officials to tend to her.
They had to go to beam right after. It’s usually the coaches that go to an injured athlete not the teammates
watch any ncaa injury. that’s always what happens. the team needs to regroup. it’s hard enough to watch one of your best friends go down, but you still have to keep your head in the game so you don’t lose focus and get injured too

@@Sunflower_vally exactly! gymnasts are literally taught to give injured teammates space
440th like
410th like
Why are the rest of her teammates huddled in a circle? Shouldn't they be supporting her?
Disappointing. I like the injuries where the bone breaks and comes through the skin and blood sprays into the audience.
Last time I had an injury it was doing vault and it made my anus leak fungus
It’s weird to see her teammates huddle up and just focus on themselves….Like do that when she’s safely off the floor…..not while she’s lying there hurting
It's much easier for the medical staff and coaches to help the injured athlete, if said athlete isn't being swarmed by her teammates. And also they aren't allowed to do that anyway.
They aren't allowed to go to her. It's against the rules.
I’ve seen in other sports them do this when praying for a teammate
@@alexisbutts9327 exactly. I'm almost positive that was a prayer circle.
leg white
Floor blue
That’s just bad
I could tell she had weak calves. I hope she gets better soon, work on those calves
I cringed 😬
Why do coaches keep letting these gymnasts compete when they are so heavy? Its not healthy an certainly does not look like an athletic gymnast at all.
that’s rude. you don’t have to be super skinny to be a gymnast. in fact most gymnasts aren’t super skinny, because we also have to build muscle.
but most gymnasts aren’t stick thin and are obviously very good..
Skill was clearly too hard for her
She’s been doing that skill for years and is one of the best gymnast in the country. You’re wrong.
Clearly not. She most likely tore her Achilles on the takeoff, reducing her power drastically.
That’s actually a very easy skill for her (probably has been for years), she’s injured
Probably landed wrong. She’s done this murmurous amount of times..
She tore her Achilles on the takeoff….of course she wasn’t going to land it properly when she lost her power to the tear…..jeez

Are we feeling insecure again Arthur? :)
she tore her achilles.. i want to see YOU do two flips and tear your achilles and just walk it off superman
Take off the helmets, mouth guards, padding, and everything else that protects football players. They’ll be injury prone in no time…
That looked like she blew her achilles. What a bummer!
