MyKayla Skinner returns to the Valley after Tokyo Olympics Silver medalist MyKayla Skinner is back home in the Valley! She won for her vault exercise at the Tokyo Olympics after Simone Biles stepped down. New Olympic medalist, MyKayla Skinner, has returned from Arizona on Wednesday and her supporters couldn't be happier. Skinner left the U.S. hopeful to qualify to compete for Team U.S.A gymnastics and is leaving Tokyo as a silver medalist. Skinner topped off her first Olympics by coming in second in women's vaults with an average of 14.916 on her two Cheng and Amanar vaults. http://instagram.com/p/CSCg66Sl6Ps The Gilbert native landed in Arizona around 5 p.m. and her family and friends were there to greet her. Skinner posted on Instagram a farewell to Japan, saying "See ya soon AZ," in a much different tone than her first farewell to the Tokyo Olympics. Last week, Skinner was prepared to go home and posted a heartbreaking goodbye to the Games after an Olympic rule only allowed two gymnasts per country to advance to event finals. In the vaults competition, those two gymnasts were Simone Biles and Phoenix native Jade Carey.

MyKayla Skinner is finally getting her well-deserved vacation! The 24-year-old gymnast — who vaulted her way to a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics — is visiting Universal Studios Florida with her husband, Jonas Harmer. On Friday, the pair shared several photos and videos to their respective social media pages as they roamed the theme park, starting with the popular "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" attraction. Harmer also scooped up his wife while they posed near the Jurassic Park River Adventure ride. Skinner had only just arrived back hone in Arizona on Thursday from Tokyo, but choose to jet off on her getaway with her husband rather than join team USA's gymnasts on their press tour. "The rest of the team is doing media in New York but MyKayla chose to come straight home to go on vacation with me," Harmer wrote, in a post on Instagram. "For now I am excited to finally enjoy some alone time with my wife…" he said in another. "Gymnastics has had its fair share for long enough now 😊 I love you MyKayla!"
