Welp wasn’t planning on full on sobbing right before leaving for work but here we are. I know I’m not alone in saying this, we’re all so proud of you. Not only for the incredible career you’ve had but also for knowing when to step back and make the difficult but mature decision to retire. Wishing you the best of luck in your future and looking forward to seeing where life takes you!
Me too right before work 😭😭I remember Whitney way back at 8 years old w coach Ron. But I dove learned anything after 36 years of life, it’s to do what you want and not to live on anyone else’s terms. I wanted to have a baby so badly start trying at 28. Was in medical school & listened to everyone telling me not to do it, I didn’t need or want kids, I was “going to be a doctor.” Here I am 36 w 2 miscarriages not able to raise $21k to finish IVF. Gave up training as a doctor for my egg retrieval portion of IVF bc the sxheudle did not allow. I am heartbroken, it’s my one true dream. And now doing it alone. I’m so proud of Whitney for making the hard but what she feels is the right decision. 👏🏻👏🏻❤❤
Same!!! 😭😭😭
you can leave gymnastics but gymnastics wont leave you
This whole season I've been thinking "Never say never."
I hope you are wrong. I’d really like to get over the bad use of my young corpus.
Totally agree. I left gymnastics due to injuring my ankles too much but it never left me I still want to go back.

I have gymnastics today
We all owe Whitney a thank you ! I Thank you for giving us the huge honor to watch your career as a Gymnast and to see the amazing young woman you've become. . Thank you for inspiring young athletes . I hope you vlog on your channel and I'm excited to see the next chapter of your life. We're proud of you, Whitney !
Crying. I'm so proud of you Whitney. You had a great career, I'll always remember watching your videos as a kid, wanting to be just as good. That montage at the end really made me year up. I never thought I'd see the day, Whitney Bjerken quit. But it happened, and that's okay! I can't wait for what's to come with music in the future, and I'll always look back on your gymnastics career with good memories, reminding me of my younger self who watched you. I'll never stop supporting you💕
Edit: i have more to say!
Thank you. Thank you Whitney for inspiring me, i honestly wouldnt be where i am today without your gymnastics videos. And you not only inspire me with gymnastics but also music, i love music and singing and performing. Thank you for everything Whitney❤ Can't wait to see where music takes you
What I noticed is that when the gymnast is given freedom to have fun, play with skills, be themselves, and take away the pressure- suddenly you see Whitney moving through mental blocks on skills that were challenging her. I wish every practice could have felt more like "playing" gymnastics like this one did, maybe it would be more sustainable for everyone!
Look at Chelsie Memmel, Whitney! Gymnastics will always be there for you when or if you decide to "play" with it again! ❤
“I can’t do a double back” **does two beautiful double backs**
Thank you for everything, Whitney 🥹
Whitney, you’ve always inspired me as a tall gymnast. Being 5’10 in this sport is hard, and often times learning skills is difficult because of “those long legs”. You’ve shown me that being tall doesn’t limit what I can do, and I thank you so much for that. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and I can’t wait to follow along!❤️
Tall people problems. German gymnast Marie Sophie Hindermann is 5'9 (175 cm) and an Olympian. Nina Derwael is 5'7 and Olympic gold medalist. Never give up
Yes I loved seeing your gymnastics…as a former tall gymnast myself. I am 5’10” - was 5’9’ in college when I retired from gymnastics. I still have gymnastics dreams and always feel a bit happy and sad when I wake up.
I will always miss gymnastics but I too will always be reminded that who I am today is because of gymnastics.
I can’t wait to see you in your next chapter.❤❤❤🎉
I am the tallest gymnasts in the gym 😢 and I'm 15 😭😭 I hate it
My coach is always like “MRS LONG LEGS” I’m in level 4 and I’m 11 about 5’0 already 😢
Whitney, you certainly are who you are today because of gymnastics. You're strong, courageous and fearless. You're loving, caring and considerate. You're special, inspirational and awesome. Gymnastics may have helped to make you the amazing person that you are today, but you have made a huge positive difference to the world of gymnastics too. You have given back time after time after time. You have inspired so many people, taught so many, helped so many, and encouraged so many. Thank you so much Whitney for sharing your amazing gymnastics journey and career. Thanks for being the awesome, amazing, inspirational person that you are. Thanks for being yourself. This chapter in your wonderful life will never be forgotten, by yourself or anyone who has experienced it through your videos. Thanks again Whitney 😢😢and I wish you every success in your future endeavors and life in general. You'll continue to be awesome Whitney and I can't wait to see what your future holds, whether it be 🎤or 📽 or 🎸or anything else. You will always have my full support Whitney. God bless you Whitney. 😁😢💛😁😢💛😁😢💛
No because the montage give me give me chills oh my god Whitney I’m so proud of you for everything you have accomplished literally been here and grew up with you since you were like 10 I can’t wait to see everything you do in the future
Please don't use God's name in vain ❤️ He loves you very much ❤️
Literally… she inspired me to trained harder and it’s so emotional watching this even for me 🥹🥹
As an adult who started gymnastics at age 27, I can say there's a fairly robust adult community across the country, with people of all ages and skill levels! Come back and play around when you're ready
I hope you'll comeback to Gymnastics soon
I've followed you for 8 years now and you were the person who got me interested in gymnastics after discovering you on youtube - your videos inspired me so much that for years I've believed that I was actually meant to be a gymnast even though I'm now 21 and can't even do a proper handstand. I've loved watching your gymnastics and singing journey throughout the years and have been (and continue to be) inspired by your determination and resilience. I did competitive sport growing up and found it hard enough to quit when I went to uni without having thousands of people watching me do it, so I think you being able to recognise what is best for you and do it is really impressive! I hope you enjoy your new freedom and good luck with whatever comes next!
I follow your videos when I was 11 and you are the person who got me interested in gymnastics, in my country We don't have gymnastics halls because it's a rare sport, but thanks to you, I was training at home. You made my childhood. I love you.
Whitney just makeing me sob on a wednesdayly basis now 😭😭😭
I didn’t think I would cry… I’m balling my eyes out!!😭😭😭 I can’t thank you enough for all the inspiration you’ve given me from your very first gymnastics video, to your last. You can take a girl out the gym, but you can’t take the gym out a girl❤️🤸🏼♀️
Stop that was so sad. I remember watching her when I was little, I even got in trouble for trying to do kitchen gymnastics. I wish the best for you Whitney❤
I haven’t watched in years because life has been crazy and I come back and she’s a whole woman! That’s crazy!
Ohhh Whitney I wish you all the best in the new chaper of your life that's beginning now! I'm so proud of you😭 I've been following your channel for more than 6 years and you've become a really big part of my life! You were my inspiration for gymnastics, I've learnt English by watching your videos and I can't put it into words how I'm grateful to you for everything!❤ These memories in the end of this video made me cry😢 I know you also cried, cause it's really hard for you to let it go. Gymnastics was a part of your life for more than 12 years!! But it'll be fine! You make awesome music, I listen to your songs almost every day🤩 And I'm waiting for your new amazing original songs! Love you so much💗 Be happy😊
You have no idea how much you inspired me as a gymnast, I’ve been watching you for six years and admired you so much. Thank you for sharing your gymnastics journey with us, and I sincerely hope for the best in what you decide to do next.
Aww the ending made me tear up. I’m so glad you had that last practice and left on a high note hitting some skills you haven’t done lately. You’ve left the gymnastics world better than you found it, Whitney 🥹
I would love to see more vlogs of what you're up to now and what it was like adjusting to not doing gymnastics now :) So so so proud of you for this journey and i'm so grateful you shared your journey with us
i don’t usually leave comments but i watched whit grow up on youtube and i grew up watching her. i still remember when you were doing your level 4 meets. your technique was always spot on and i was always so impressed how hard you worked to be the best of the best despite the pain and pressure. congratulations on this new chapter of your life 🤍 i’m so excited for you!
I’ve watched this one thousand times and it still hits me, I’m a level one gymnast with a half twist on trampoline but just the thought of having to leave my gym one day, haunts me, I’ll have to clear out my cubby, and I can never imagine what pain and sadness you’ve experienced with that, and it’s a new chapter, and live your life to the fullest girl! Also I enjoyed how you worked like you hard no tomorrow, like u worked that bloody hard. I hope u have a wonderful time in you new chapter in your life, and thanks for inspiring me to keep hoping with my dream of being a level 10 or elite gymnast, hope u have a fun and wonderful next chapter, and don’t forget, work like you have 50 years, and play like you have no tomorrow.
I just finished my almost 10 year gymnastics career and the clip at the end brought tears to my eyes. I can't remember a time when I didn't follow you. You have inspired and motivated me in difficult moments and I am forever grateful. I wish you all the best for the future❤❤
I was a competitive gymnast for 7 years and during covid I quit due to having hip issues as well as I wanted to close that chapter and start a new one. When I first moved on from it, I tried tennis, running, and so on. I was out of sports for about 2-3 years after quitting gymnastics before I finally decided to try volleyball. I always used to harp on how volleyball was such a stupid sport and why would anyone want to play that, I honestly had no idea what I was actually talking about because I never even touched a volleyball before I actually started playing the sport. I am now invested in volleyball and have been playing for about 2 years now. I have played on 2 teams, my school season and club and now I couldn't be more proud of myself for going onto year 2 of playing volleyball, I am entering my 2nd year of school season. It was so difficult at first to learn all of these new things, but I grasped the hang of it pretty fast. With as much as I talk about how gymnastics damaged my hips and so on, I truly can't thank the sport enough for giving me the athletic ability and so much more to carry on to other sports. It truly is a privilege to experience being a competitive gymnast because it has so many values!
Hello, Whitney! I’m an overseas fan of yours. I have watched your videos since I was in the first or the second year of junior high school, and now I’m gonna be a senior after this summer vacation. Watching you doing gymnastics has always been my favorite thing to do since this sport was so novel for me to know and your techniques are extremely marvelous. Because of you, I got interested in gymnastics but there’s no enough resources here, so I learned how to do a cartwheel as well as one-handed cartwheel by myself, which was really crazy. After entering college, I joined the cheerleading club in order to learn more stunts. Not starting from an early age, I somewhat had mental blocks about being a flyer. Even though I felt a little afraid, I still had a great time competing and performing with my teammates. However, I decided to quit in the second semester of junior because I had another plan for my life. It’s hard to leave, but those good memories will be in my mind forever. I just wanna say thank you for inspiring me and spreading gymnastics to people around the world! Hope everything goes well with you! ❤
The end gave me goosebumps 😭 I’m going to miss the gymnastics videos, thank you Whitney, thank you.
Thank you for the gymnastics, without watching your exploits in competition and training during a time that I was experiencing medical issues. Watching you made me do better and encourage me to do my physical therapy and get stronger. Now, you have a chance to grow into a new chapter and may it roar the world over as your gymnastics has.
I've seen every single one of your gymnastics videos. You were an inspiration to me as a coach. I believed in you and your talent. ❤️ Thank you, Whitney, for sharing your journey and I wish you the best in your future. ❤️
They say a dancer dies twice--once when she retires, and again when she actually dies. As a long retired dancer, I look back and think--a dancer is born twice. I'm sure it will be the same for you. Good luck in all your future endeavors!
Will miss you in the next college season, I had so looked forward cheering you from Germany to Alabama!
But it is what it is, I wish you all the best for your future, all wishes to come true 🫶🏼
If you do wanna come back, that would be great
Awwww man, you trying all these new skills makes me kind of bummed I won’t get to watch you in college 😢
Super happy for you though! Thank you for the years of letting us watch you in gymnastics. You’re an amazing young lady, I’m sure you will succeed in whatever you do! I hope we get to keep watching ❤
the way i'm in tears rn. I have been following and watching ur videos for abt 10 years now, literally more than half of my life. u were my BIGGEST ROLE MODEL EVER when I used to do gymnastics and ur the one who kept me going for as long as I did. I am so glad I got to watch u grow up and become such a beautiful human being. I am so proud u had the strength and courage to make this decision because I know u did not come to it lightly. I am so very excited to see what's ahead for u in this new chapter and u are still one of my biggest role models, i love u girl. 💗💗
I really wish you'd get back into Gymnastics someday
Breaks my heart that gymnastics in the states is so FULL ON. We live in The Netherlands and only top sport trains that much. Kids who want to train less hours can adjust their level to do so and still enjoy the sport. They can also just do it for fun and not compete, they can mentor/teach others, etc. You say you'll miss so many aspects of the sport when you don't truly have to give it up if you want to continue. You can just do it on your own terms, no? If it's 2 hours a week so be it. It's just for fun then right? Either way thank you for sharing your journey in the sport with us all. We've watched you grow up and have cheered and cried with you often along the way. You deserve the best life possible and I know you will SHINE in anything you do moving forward.
we’re so proud of you whitney! ❤❤
Nastia Liukin’s mom told her don’t quit on a bad day. You had a brilliant day! That onodi ❤! You left your mark on the sport and you had a beautiful career.
Looking forward to your next chapter 👏
I remember discovering you because I had the "The strongest girl in the world" video in my recommendations when I was like 13 years old. I remember I was so amazed by your strength. Then I started watching your videos and I loved them! I grew kind of attached and was soo happy whenever you uploaded a new video of gymnastics practice. I DEVOURED that 37-minute gym practice video from like 7 year back. Now I'm 21 and even though I'm not crazy over your content anymore, I still really enjoy the videos you make, whether it be gymnastics or singing or whatever is going on in your life. Sometimes I think about whether it's weird that I in certain aspects look up to someone 3 years younger than me, but honestly, why not. As far as I can tell, your a great person with passion who loves what she does, and that's admirable. I'll definitely be staying and staying curious of what will happen next in your life. Keep making music, I enjoy it a lot, and be confident in what you're doing! Lots of love from Germany❤️
I remmeber as a kid watching and cheering on her thru my screen, same age as you. Randomly decided to check up on you, and here it is. You were my childhood, and hopefully we both move onto bigger things
That ending caught me so off guard in tears. I remember watching those clips in their full Videos years ago. It would be great to see videos of you doing gymnastics again from time to time but that’s ofc up to you. Hope you have a great future beyond gymnastics!
I honestly wish you'd consider giving Gymnastics another go.
i definitley wasnt on planning on crying while watching this very last gymnastics vlog but i am so happy i did! I love you whitney and i am so sad that you have officially retired BUT i am super excited to see what your next chapter brings you!! You have inspired me to chase after my dreams and to keep being myself no matter what the world says! I love you whitney! 💯❤❤❤❤
That made me cry, I wasn't prepared for this video and those last clips.
I'm not a gymnast but I've been hooked on each of your videos for years, I haven't missed a single one. All of us have been growing with you and that makes this moment even more emotional.
We are so proud of you, Whitney, thank you for everything!! ❤
I knew this day would come, but I honestly didn't want to watch it. I've got tears running down my face and I've never met you. I've following you for sooo long. You and your family have been awesome and I've enjoyed watching you grow up to a very talented young lady. I wish you all the best in the years to come!
You never know Whitney, you may come back as an adult gymnast in 10 years time 😄 Been watching your gym videos for many, many years and it was part of what inspired me to return to gymnastics after being 'retired' for 10+ years! Now I just do it for the fun and community that comes with adult gymnastics 🥰
I hope you'd come back to Gymnastics in around 10 years
You are a great athlete and a wonderful singer/songwriter ❤❤
I’ve been watching since you were little - gonna miss seeing your gymnastics progression! Does your gym do casual / free gym sessions? I quit gym cold turkey and my body kind of broke down - definitely recommend keeping the stretching / fitness up and slowing down slowly. Best wishes to you Whitney! 🤸♀️
U R WERE MY CHILDHOOD! I loved gymnast bc of u! Thank you Whitney^^
Whitney !! I am from Hong Kong and keep watching your videos since ten years ago. As seeing you training hard everyday, you really affect me to become more strong and persistent person when hard times come! Thank you so much!!! I hope you will read my comment and share more good music!!!! Always support you !!!!!
I'm crying and ive never cried over a yt video before. I'm gonna miss your gymnastics Whit. You'll do great in whatever comes next in your life
I have been watching you since the beginning. Through all the years, the tears, the struggles, the triumphs. Through good days and bad, through surgeries, set backs and injuries. I have seen you grow in gymnastics and life. Your determination, dedication, the friendships you made. Gymnastics helped mold you into whom you are today. You will succeed in wherever life leads you now. Thank you for taking us along on the journey. Can’t wait to see where your future lies. I must admit, this video had me in tears but happy tears. Happy to see you become the person you want to be. Keep shining.
I’m actually sobbing. As someone who’s watched Whitney’s gymnastics career since they were very young and as someone who looked up to Whitney so much it’s bittersweet to watch her leave the sport that was my source of entertainment when I was younger. I love you so much Whitney and hope you do amazingly in your music career and anything else you want to do ❤❤❤
Gosh, it's been a while since I’ve watched your videos about gymnastics, and I didn’t know that you had already left gymnastics. I've known you since you were a kid. I always idolize you and am always impressed by how good you are at gymnastics. I always watch your videos, even the tutorials on how to do a split, and those other videos that you and your siblings do for challenges, like the “eat it or wear it challenge.” I didn’t realize how grown up you are now, and I’ve just realized how old I am too because I've been watching your videos since I was 10 years old. You really are amazing, and thank you for being part of my childhood Wishing you the best🫶🏻💕
we will miss you gymnatics and good luck on your next chapter of life
Thank you Whitney. I saw a video of you when you were still a little girl and then I got married and had my children. My 7 year old daughter is now doing gymnastics and you’ve been the inspiration for me when I started toddler & mum gym with her. I am not a sporty person but my daughter loves her gymnastics and only because of you I was inspired to show her this journey. I’m sure you’ve changed many lives like that. Thank you and I wish you all the best ❤️
Thank you for showing us your journey, even thought it wasn't as happy or pain-free as we assumed. I followed you since your time with Ron. I am melancholy, but not crying over the end of your gymnastics. Perhaps it's because I know this is just one of many chapters in your life. I am glad you are taking control of your future adventures.
It’s so crazy and beautiful to see how much you’ve changed through all this years, you are so inspiring and l am so happy to see that during all these times ❤
Awee Whitney I’ve been watching your vids since forever and I’m so grateful for the inspiration and for you sharing your journey with us. You’re incredibly strong for persisting all of these years and you should feel proud for everything you have accomplished and trust that you’re doing the right thing for you! It’s about the journey, not the destination ofc🫶 good luck with whatever comes next :)🥹
I’m a middle age woman. from Singapore who has been watching your gymnastics for years and seeing you grow. At one point, I was really hoping that you will make the national team because your gymnastics was so graceful! Thanks for the wonderful videos and the hours of entertainment. All the best to your future endeavours!
This has me in tears😢 wish you only the best
oh whit!! that made me cry so much!! I will miss seeing you do gymnastics, I watched you all throughout my gymnastics career you inspired me so much! I’m so happy your moving on and I hope the next chapter is amazing for you!! ❤❤❤
the end montage broke me. you did what’s best for you but you made so many memories that’ll never be forgot.
Wow crying 😢 full on tears. That was beautiful Whitney! Thank you for letting go with you on your gymnastics 🤸♀️ journey! Good luck with whatever is next
I have been following you for many years now, and I am so proud of you Whitney!!!! Can't wait to see where life takes you and what new passions you discover!
It’s crazy how this is already the last season, I literally grew up watching all your videos
Best wishes on the next part of your journey❤ You have been a joy to watch grow up, you have left a legacy of kindness, authenticity and encouragement to all you who have met. You have been wise and courageous and gracious beyond your years❤
Oh my gosh, that Shaposh is pretty good, too bad we didn’t get to see it in competition. What a career. Congratulations, young lady, this is something to always be very proud of.
You are amazing Whitney! It’s been a privilege to follow along on your journey. I am so happy for you! Wishing you all the best always. Looking forward to seeing where your extraordinary talents lead you Whitney! Big hugs from Houston, Texas.
thank you so much 🤍 I really appreciate this
@@WhitneyBjerken I wish you'd get back into Gymnastics
Talk about emotional, this was such a fitting ending to a great career, whit I hope you continue on utube, for singing or vlogs or whatever but I've always loved your editing, thanks for such a great series and congratulations, will miss these videos but look forward to your future endeavors 🙏
Been watching you for a few years watching you grow up to the young lady you are today but we all have to move on you can see gymnastics wasn't making you happy towards the end so here to the next chapter of your life will still be here watching you make great music so you have fun enjoy life can't wait to see the next video💯👍🎉

I am sad to see your gymnastics career come to a close but happy for what the future has in store for you. Wishing you the very best and much happiness on your next journey. You deserve it! Take care and God bless! ❤😊🌺
I’ve been watching your videos for many years. So incredibly proud of you! You have accomplished so much and I wish you the best as you move on to new adventures.

It’s been amazing to watch your career from a youngster to grown woman. You are amazing. Thank YOU! Love from a fan in Australia 🇦🇺
You have touched the world young lady. Well done.
End of an era, start of a chapter. You were truly amazing at gymnastics and always have been. It’s sad to see you let go but you are going to go on to amazing things. You inspired me to start the sport I love, I will always support you
I really wish you had given college gymnastics a try since it’s so different. I have loved watching you. Good luck with your music.
You should consider doing College Gymnastics someday.
Hey Whit hope everything is going well for you really hope you're not going to stop making vids the world loves you and your CZcams vids. Wishing you peace love and happiness✌️
GERMAN:
Ich danke dir.
Mit einer Träne im Auge werde ich die Zeit vermissen und immer wieder daran zurück denken.
"Wie ein kleines Boot im Ozean" --- so hat es begonnen -- und als erwachsene Person wird dieses Kapitel enden.
Auch wenn ich nie etwas geschrieben habe, so verfolge ich diesen Kanal schon von Anfangan und danke dir für viele Stunden voller lachen, mitfiebern und Informationen.
DANKE !!!
English: (?) ... :-)
I thank you.
With a tear in mind, I will miss the time and keep thinking back.
"Like a small boat in the ocean" --- so it started-and as an adult, this chapter will end.
Even if I have never written anything, I already follow this channel from the beginning and thank you for many hours full of laughter, fun and information.
THANKS !!!
I was here in the very beginning, and can’t believe it has been ten years. Thank you Whit, and enjoy your new journey ahead❤
Crying right now 🥲 I follow you since the beginning, you have so many reasons to be proud of you! You are inspiring, thank you for sharing all these moments with us all these years ❤️
Whitney, it was so nice to see you having fun in the gym at your last practice. The whole reason we all started going in the first place! Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Ahh the thumbnail had me crying I’m so happy that your starting a new chapter in your life! And Tysm for making the best gymnastics vids and music videos on yt!
11 years ago, my daughter began to artistic gymnastics, I inspired her with your video. Since then, we are still watching your videos. =) thanks
I'm crying 😭. Thanks to you I started with gymnastics ❤❤
I do gymnastics, you’ve inspired me my whole life. Great job! Crying right now. I’ve been watching you since you started. 😔😞
Yes!
the montage at the end made me tear up. I have been watching you ever since your level 4 state video and it makes me so proud to see how far you’ve come not just gymnastics wise but as a person and I am looking forward to all the amazing things you are going to do in the future ❤
Proud to have been a neighbor (Alabama) these last few years. My favorite performances are always when you're on the bars. They are so perfect. I loved them as a child, and learned many things, but never had a coach and a gym to work in. You are blessed, and I am sure God has much more for you to accomplish in life. (1993 Master Men's Inline Speed World Record holder). Be all you can be, no matter who says you can't, or tells you it's impossible. That year, I trained harder than all the others and surprised my coach at 1993 Regionals.
ok im crying(!) whitney you i have been watching you for years. you have made me love gymnastics, you are the first youtube channel i have actually loved in years and have loved every video. all the gymnastics training all the tips you gave me to get even better. I believe your years of gymnastics benefited not only you but also many others watching. NOW IS THE BEST WHITNEY!!
What you've achieved is amazing Withney. You've inspired me so much and I discovered gymnastics thanks to you. I hope you do well with your new life. ❤
I’ve been watching since almost the start of the channel and all I can say is - I’m so proud of you, Whitney ❤️ You had an amazing career and I can’t wait to see what you’ll do next 😊
I don't know, my heart aches watching this. I'm not good with such things^^ I wish you all the best. Thanks for sharing your gymnastics story with us
You are an amazing athlete! And an amazing person!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! Can’t wait to see what comes next!!! 🦋
Gymnastics will be with you through everything in life and just know that even after retiring you can still go back to it
Hi Whitney!!! I remember I used to watch your vids while doing my homework as motivation to try something new after I finished it. I was cheering you on when you were learning gienger, and it is the same motivation that I carry for figure skating. You have inspired me so greatly throughout your career and I hope that we can understand a fraction of your strength, both physical and mental, in continuing gymnastics for so long. Good luck in the future !!!❤
Best Wish for whatever you choose to do in life. Ive missed quite a few episodes i was ho p ing that youd be on a college gymnastics team. God Bless and thank you for sharing your life.
i always cry while watching this. youre so amazing whitney youve inspired me so much😭😭😭❤❤
I stumbled across your videos many years ago. I watched you grow into such a stunning athlete. I will miss watching your amazing gymnastics, but I m so happy for you to find out who you want to be! Life ebbs and flows into new dreams. I hope your next dream is even bigger and better then you could have imagined :)
Can’t believe I’ve been watching your videos for the 10 years! Where has the time gone!? So proud of you Whitney!!
I haven’t cried this hard in years!
i love how she continues to impress her coaches even on the last training. you are so incredible whitney, and i know you’ve heard this many times, but me, and many others, are so proud of you. you have accomplished so much and i really mean it. i wish you the absolute best in your career and future. ❤❤
Gosh - this made me cry! So much time, dedication and energy expended - I can only imagine how hard it must have been to say goodbye. Good luck for the future, Whitney - I'm sure you'll make a success of whatever you do.
this was so bittersweet :( i've always loved watching your videos even though i know nothing about gymnastics.. in a few years it would be so fun if you tried your old skills and stuff haha! wishing you the best of luck in your future
also the clips of her and coach ron in the end made me cry, i had forgotten about him 😭
E pensar que eu estava aqui desde o início acompanhando ❤
That slide show... wow. I'm near speechless. It was so beautifully heartbreaking. Wow is the only fitting word. God bless you.
