Heading into the qualification round at the Tokyo Olympics, both MyKayla Skinner and Grace McCallum had already seen their dreams come true. The goal, for years if not longer, had been to make it to the Olympic Games and both Skinner and McCallum accomplished that. Once in Tokyo, though, the goal understandably had to shift, so the duo set their sights on qualifying for individual event finals, with McCallum also hoping to help the four-woman U. S. team in whatever way she could in their quest to win a gold medal."The goal is to make all the event finals for the team and to contribute any way that I can," McCallum said. "I want to get an individual medal, but we'll see."Mykayla Skinner, of the United States, performs on the balance beam during the women's artistic gymnastic qualifications at the 2020 Summer Olympics, Sunday, July 25, 2021, in Tokyo.

Natacha Pisarenko, APThe University of Utah gymnasts — past and future — each had their moments early Sunday morning, but ultimately fell short. McCallum finished with an all-around score of 55.165, fifth among the six American gymnasts, and while she had strong performances on vault (14.533) and uneven bars (14.100), she failed to finish in the top 2 among the U. S. competitors on any event and did not qualify for an event final.(Only the top two competitors from any country advance to event finals at the Olympics). McCallum will have the opportunity to compete in the team final early Tuesday morning, though, as a member of the four-women team. Skinner, an individual competitor, finished with a 55.398 in the all-around competition, fourth among all Americans, behind Simone Biles (57.731), Sunisa Lee (57.166) and Jade Carey (56.265). She was great, as expected, on vault, scoring a 14.933 on her Cheng and a 14.866 on her Amanar, and finished the night with the fourth-best overall score on the vault by any gymnast. Because she finished behind Biles and Carey, though, she failed to qualify for the event final on her strongest event.
