MyKayla Skinner's Cheng: Terrifying

    MyKayla Skinner has became known for the difficulty level of her vault. MyKayla is one of the only girls in the World to be performing the Cheng vault. It is an incredibly intricate vault, there are many steps to the Cheng. You must do a half turn onto the springboard, half twist onto the vaulting table, and 1 1/2 twists off. So, if I were to describe this vault in two words, it would be intricate, and hard. But just because MyKayla can do the Cheng, doesn't mean she can do it correctly. MyKayla has the nasty  habit of only blocking off with one arm for the Cheng, not only is that a built-in deduction, but is also dangerous. If MyKayla blocks off of only one arm, she can seriously injure her arm. I can not express how many injuries can occur to her because of her blocking, and I do not like it. MyKayla is an athlete who has great potential, but she just needs to be careful. If MyKayla injures her arm on vault, it  could seriously damage her shots at making International Assignments, and Marta, her coaches could make her downgrade her vault. MyKayla needs to properly block off, or this vault will come back and bite her. So MyKayla, if you are reading this, please, please, please, please, please, please try and change your blocking, try blocking with both arms, or else you will break your right arm. So do this for us, MyKayla, not us, do it for yourself. Yourself.  Don't  hurt yourself, and you will get plenty of international assignments
