I always forget how young she is that’s wild. It was definitely a mental thing and probably let the pressure get to her. She was pretty much the face of the USA Olympic team last year, happy that she clearly got through it

👏 yeah the Beijing Olympics were so bizarre and probably a terrible athlete experience with the covid backdrop too. Wish everyone got a re-do 😂 Can’t imagine dealing with a loss like that then being fully locked down in a foreign place to deal with all the stress & pressure alone

I remember my dad telling me 7 years ago that this young american is wrecking everyone else. I thought that's gonna be a one hit wonder but man did she exceed all of my expectations - Mika is just insane honestly.
