This A- list gymnast was trying to make a comeback.

She barely missed out on the last Olympics and then lost all of her sponsors because of some comments she made.

For the past year, she has said COVID doesn’t exist.

Well, of course, she and her husband got it and she got a bad enough case of it that she probably won’t qualify for the Olympic team this time around either.

There isn’t enough time for her to recover.

Olympic gymnastics hopeful MyKayla Skinner hospitalized after COVID-19 infection

Team USA gymnast MyKayla Skinner landed in the hospital this week after developing pneumonia, part of what she described as lingering problems related to COVID-19. Skinner, who served as the United States’ alternate at both the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio and the 2019 World Gymnastics Championships in Stuttgart, Germany, posted the news on her Instagram story late Monday, 4 January.

“Life update! Jonas caught covid from a business trip a month ago and he was fine but I still have lingering problems,” Skinner’s post read. “We quarantined and I only went back to the gym when it was safe but it’s still been difficult and it turns out today I developed pneumonia.”

A day later, she posted an update on Twitter, saying she was at home recovering.

“I will be ok,” she said in part. – Source
