With the amount of injuries she has been getting, she should probably quit sooner rather than later. I know gymnastics is her brand and what gets her views and something she is very passionate about, but these injuries are not good for her body at all.

Time to retire. I know it hurts, but she fought the good fight and was never problematic.

Geez who was that woman squawking while Whitney was on the beam? Maybe she's a great coach but I didn't particularly like her tone at some parts...
In her newest video, half of it is just her shrill voice.

And she won the two events she competed in: beam and floor. No videos yet though. I doubt she was allowed to bring in a spectator to film.

Even if it was a smaller meet because of the virus, I am still very impressed by her progress. Poor girl, if she were only a few inches shorter and less fragile, she would have given the elite world a run for its money.

The competition video was just uploaded to Youtube!
Actually there were lots of spectators in the gym, next to a lot of athletes. But I guess this is Georgie, so the regulations aren't as strict there.
She got a 9.5 on beam and 9.3x on floor, with a new floor routine! (The one she had already posted last summer, I think)

Many of her teammates postet pictures from the competition with captions like „just the beginning“ or „only up from here“. But she didn’t

I am not enjoying the half-truths tho. She competed at Atlanta Centennial at the end of January but she didn’t do as well which is perfectly acceptable since she is just coming back. But now they’re pretending it didn’t happen and have uploaded the February ‘Paws for a cause’ meet claiming that it’s her second meet when it’s the third. It’s okay to fail once in a while. No one is judging an 8.8 on vault after more than a year off. I just want to watch gymnastics lmao.

Whitney didn't have a good meet at Atlanta Centennial (her second meet in January) with lots of mistakes and deductions, so she decided not to upload that meet. I guess she is free to upload whatever she wants for her youtube channel. She did quite good at "Paws for a cause" though.

Whitney said she tested positive for Covid after her last meet... I wonder if she got it at the meet, there's so many people at these events, I highly doubt they disinfect the bars, beam, etc. between each person.

Is anyone still active here?

Whitney announced her verbal commitment to the University of Alabama a few months ago, I’m super proud of her. Her hard work is paying off :) She also just competed at Nationals, I hope she posts a video of that soon.

Sadly she retired before college gymnastics could become a reality. Not in itself surprising as she had clearly moved on mentally, but her announcement was the least bit passive aggressive - she seems annoyed that all her gym fans won’t automatically pivot to following her music career. But she was a prodigy in the former and just one of millions in the latter, so I think some disappointment is quite natural.

She didn’t seem annoyed to me at all. I feel like she came across that way out of fear of how her fans would react, which is completely valid.
