Thank you so much for posting not only your successes but your struggles too. It’s so important for young gymnasts to see that everyone has off days on some events and that’s totally normal! Can’t wait to show my 8 year old this one

You do not get enough credit for how talented of a gymnast you are while being the height you are! It is so incredibly hard, you are not on the same playing field as the others, I know from personal experience, though youre so much more successful than I ever was. I was nearly 5’8” my freshman year of high school trying to go level 10 and the physics just wouldn’t allow for it. I couldn’t be powerful no matter how hard I tried, I could barely swing bars anymore because of how much I had to pike down, all releases were nearly impossible at that point. You are so darn amazing!!

Girl, I can’t believe you’ve held it together for this long, under tremendous pressure. It doesn’t change the fact that you are talented in many areas. These rough times ,find the good in it.

Whitney!! I watched One In A Million yesterday, it was amazing! Your Dad is right, your fans love you for you, quirks and all. The part about you not being able to live up to the version of you that you show us broke my heart! The real you is the most beautiful, you have nothing to apologize for and have not let anyone down. I’m bummed that I don’t get to see you compete for Alabama but you never need to apologize or feel bad for living your dreams. Thank you for this mini series, nothing to be embarrassed about! You’re incredibly talented but we all know the hell you’ve been through with your elbow and growth spurts. Your perseverance is admirable. Wishing you the best in all you do, I will continue to watch your journey if you still want to share. Oh and you have really become quite the lyricist! Older brought me to tears in the movie. 💜💜 Oh and your beam routine was GORGEOUS and I love your floor routine this year with the music we got to hear last time!

Gap years are a great idea, esp as you’ve worked so hard for so long

I hope you can find yourself in the confidence you had as a kid. Not like pressure, but maybe you'll see yourself as you were younger and you were just going for it. Only love for your content! I don't watch your videos to see perfectionism, I'm watching to see you and the people that are with you and an incredibly difficult sport

She failed to mention how good her beam routine was! It was nicely done with very few mistakes. Gotta focus on the positives!

I hate that for you.. that you felt other girls glaring, whispering... That was USAG in the '90s. I thought gym has moved on from that. Sorry to see and hear. You're gorg inside and out no matter what you do, so long as you stay true to yourself. All the best to you!

Whitney, I appreciate the way you share the hard times with some humor. Your immeasurable value in this life does not reside on a scoreboard, but in everyone you touch. Always inspiring.

1. Your beam routine was beautiful! and 2. I bet if you felt that some of the other girls were looking or whispering, it was because they were a teeny bit starstruck but afraid to come say hi to you! Thanks for sharing your final season with us!

You nailed your beam routine! I know you wanted to do better on bars but don't let it get you down. Celebrate your beam routine and your floor and vault. They were awesome! -Jeannette

whit being in vegas is so nostalgic, i remember the videos about the gym awards and meeting annie leblanc back in the day

Whitney you are such a graceful gymnast! Thank you for being so real with talking about how you felt after your meet. What you said is very relatable sadly. Hopefully you didn't feel judged at any of your other meets.

Love the video Whit. I almost forgot it was a gymnastics meet video to begin with, and thought you'd gone back to vlogging. 🤣🤣 Can't wait to see the next episodes. So sorry things didn't work out for you in this meet. There was still a lot of amazing gymnastics work on display though, despite the errors. It must've been a very difficult season as you already knew you were retiring at the end. Still so very very proud of you though Whitney. As for the uneven bars, I would've thought there was a standard set-up that all gyms and competitions use, just with adjustment for the individual gymnasts for their size. You have enough disadvantage because of your height without any additional difficulties. So unfair. But you don't have to worry about that anymore do you? Finally Whitney. If I can give you some advice, don't worry or care about what anyone may be saying about you behind your back. If they can't say it to your face, it carries NO validity. As a singer-songwriter I know sang in her song "Bully", "No matter what you do God loves us the same. People will often be nasty. But they're just a bully". They're jealous of you. Not your problem. 😁😁Hope your well Whitney and enjoying your summer break. So nice to see you back on KZfaq. 🙌😁😃😉👍👏💙

Oh my goodness!! I've just watched your first competition on KZfaq and now the last one , you have grown so much into a lovely girl

Your Beam routine was AWESOME! Your poise,technique and extension on your skills were terrific. Don't let the haters get you down....It is hard to be different or I should say, someone who doesn't follow the crowd! You Go Girl follow your own path!

I've so enjoyed watching you over the years - your beam has always been fantastic and you have one of the BEST wolf turns (a skill I almost always hate).

Thank you for posting the mini series, Whitney ! You mentioned your ankle was killing you . Did you do something recently to it (Recently as of the time this was filmed in January) or was it just from the walking ? I'm excited for the future videos in the series and your new music coming out .

Whit, your editing in your videos is underrated imo, always do such a great job, whatever you decide to do after gymnastics, I will still watch , your a great person and have alot of other talents , hopefully you let us here some more music in the near future, great video 👌

Omg I can relate. Every time I go to comps I feel very confident on bars because I’m always doing good in practice. But the bars at comps are nothing like the ones at my gym!! They’re either to rough, too close, to slippery, or too bouncy! 😭😭😭

Love you Whit! ❤ Whatever you do in life, it will be fantastic. So much talent and beauty you are!!❤❤💪💕

The fact that you placed all around with a six on UB is still good

omg whitney i look up to you so much. being a gymnast myself, i understand how you felt after bars. its super frustrating but you still did so well, esp on beam!! you got this!

B.t.w., I just watched your separate video of your floor routine again. You are such a good dancer, it's amazing how much you harmonize with the music. It is a pleasure to look at!

You did a great job given the extra pressure that the other gymnasts don't have to deal with (the recognizability). Come back with that Whitney power we all know you have. Don't focus on it being your last season, instead leave the sport on a high. Work hard! Hard! I am always impressed by how well-spoken you are; you have a lot of class. Thanks for posting this, otherwise we wouldn't know what the outcome was. I'll be waiting for your next competition (or whatever you choose to post). I can sit and listen to you talk for hours. Good Luck from Canada!

I’ve watched you growing up for years now. I love seeing your family. ❤

You were right to not continue that bar routine when you didn't feel safe. Your safety should always be the priority, and anyone who is upset about that needs to get some perspective. Your beam routine was gorgeous. I'm sorry bars didn't go the way you wanted.

be kinder to yourself, whit!! give yourself grace

Thanks for the video and mini series. I can't wait to see more. I know all of this is now way in the past. You are at no-fun age where girls will be mean even if you did nothing to them. You have a great team, great friends, awesome family so lean on them! They are what matters - who cares what those mean people think. They don't matter! In a year from now, they will be long gone from your life and you will be on to bigger and better things! You have a long wonderful life ahead of you!!!! Enjoy every minute....

LMAOOO😂😂 Omg stop I did not expect that. You’re a queen tho it happens to the best of us! And the way you still placed for overall!! That’s impressive

You have been my gymnastics inspo for like years since 2016-2017 and i love that you are awesome no matter if you fail or not you still are the best love you lots❤

omgg that floor judge is just 😬😬 she be giving you the death stare. I love to watch ppl warm-up and compete but when time comes for yourself to compete its so surreal and nerve-racking. i have been watching you since forever and I love you so much!!

Every meet you finish you win. Mishaps are part of the world. You just move on 1st one in the bag, only can get better. As for people, you may think people are talking about you, I believe they are in awe of you. You are a major part of the gymnastics community and are a great role model. Have fun for your last season.

I can really relate to your bars issue!! I always have to change the bar setting like three times before I can actually find one that will work at a competition!

When I am at my computer at work or at home, I regularly ask you to sing for me and with a click or two you do. Thank you Whitney. Right now I feel like going back four and a half years to listen to your cover of Stay. ❤

Whitney thank you so much for these episodes! I appreciate you sharing it with us! I love your videos😍 And I really want to watch One in a million, but I can't find it😕 Will it be available in Russia?

I totally understand how the bounce of the bars makes all the difference. It used to drive me crazy when bars were too bouncy at meets because I did Maloneys at a slow toe handstand is a nightmare, but then if they were too stiff I got no bounce and could barely get off the bar. Those bars also looked incredibly bouncy so much so you can visibly see them going up and down.

Whitney, be proud of yourself. You have had an amazing career and have made friends/sisters that will be around for the rest of your life. Celebrate stepping into the next chapter of your life and just let me say 🤩WOW🤩, what a chapter that will be. Your voice is amazing, your songs are amazing and I know you will go far. Never give up fighting for your dreams. No matter how hard the day is when you go to bed remember tomorrow is a new day with a clean slate. I can’t wait to see and hear the music you make. Right now I am addicted to Psycho❣️❣️❣️ God bless you in all that you do ❤️🙏🏻

You definitely made the right choice to not finish bars. Safety comes first. Sorry that happened the way it did. We're our own harshest critic, though - your beam was good, even if not your best (you don't have to do your best every time!), and I thought your vault looked like a pretty typical performance. Floor and bars were just a fluke, I'm sure. At any rate, touring Las Vegas looked so fun!

Thank you for posting your successes and struggles! The whole meet wasn’t terrible though because your beam was beautiful!

16:21 of course, all these people will whisper about you, but they do it only because of their own insecurities, of course, they are pleased that you made mistakes, it is very difficult to close your eyes, I understand you 💔

I know it’s hard but do t worry about what others think. Jealousy plays a huge role in others attitudes. Everyone has an off day. It happens. My friends daughter has the same issue….comp bars are horrible. Look at the bright side…you did amazing as always on beam and you got to enjoy Vegas :)

OHH I'm gonna miss those vlogs ♡

Who could not like you you seem like the kindest friendliest person one could ever meet sorry you had to go through that

as upset i am to not be able to see you compete in college, im glad you were able to see your limitations and make the difficult decision to retire after this season. so proud of uou

This was incredible! Great job whitney! Edit:dispute your fail on bars it was incredible, and I'll be honest, bars ain't by best either, hate them.

Yeesh. It sucks that this wasn't your day at that meet. Those bars, man. Why are they so difficult for some gymnasts yet easy for others? Seriously, what's the deal with that? Anyway, loved this first episode, Whitney. Already excited for next week's! Sending you some hugs if you need 'em! 🤗🤗🤗

I LIVE IN LAS VEGAS.I WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN YOU GUYS IN PERSON 😊

You should see "O" at the Bellagio next. So so good. I've seen 4 or 5(?) different Cirque shows, & they're all amazing

That beam routine was amazing!

Can we just take a moment and recognize how gorgeous your make up looks, ✨stunning ✨ Thank you again, you have inspired me so much, and I can't wait to make as much progress as you have :)

So sad see you facing a problem that's beyond your control. Raise your head girl, because you did it great.👏

You are amazing 🙏🏼

YOU DID AMAZING! DONT BRING YOURSELF DOWN LIKE THAT!

I FEEL YOU ON THE BARS SITUATION like I’m tall but only made it to level 8 so i don’t fully understand the struggle with your skills, but let’s just say i had a situation on bars at last years woga classic very similar to this and i feel you.

Hi Whitney good morning happy Wednesday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

That was a rough one. Never seen your form, which is usually perfect on bars, break that bad. But, it happens to everyone.

Everybody has the occasional off-day, Whitney - don't let that one, slightly less than perfect experience knock your confidence. The bars thing is very frustrating though. You would think that some engineer would have worked out a way to make them adjustable for gymnasts of different heights by now. And there must be a way to ensure the consistency of tension, too. You're clearly at a disadvantage if you're having to pike more to avoid hitting your feet. Anyway, you still looked so elegant and beautiful on the other three pieces of apparatus. I think you made the right decision to finish your bars routine when you did - your head wasn't in the right place, and much better to stay safe. I really can't believe anyone would 'glare' at you or 'hate' you. They were probably just very excited to see you - and that can make people nervous. You're a lovely person. Stay strong. X

Flawless beam routine!

You made a safe choice about the bars. It could have been much more serious and you’ve been through a lot with injuries. You have battled through fame and you have worked so hard. Hope you hold on to the fun memories ❤

i always struggled with bar at gym, i feel you

Your competition leo is so beautiful! It looks so good on you🥰

Whitney, I hope you realize how important these moments are to share actually.. You are held to some super high standard but now the younger gymnasts see that everyone has bad days, bad meets, etc. You make mistakes and you're human. I'm glad you quit on bars, it was a safety issue and they really should work on making those bars safer.

whitney, everything will be fine, don't be upset, nothing can always be perfect too tight bars - it's really terrible, you couldn't do anything about it ❤❤❤

“Even though my vaults are bad it was good for me”😂

As for feeling others were glaring at you / talking about you - I think you nailed it when you said you felt self conscious the whole meet - the two ho hand in hand (feeling self conscious and that other people are talking about you). But, feelings aren't facts, and moee likely ran not, they were thinking about themselves and their routines, not you 🥰

6.000 is better than being disqualified! It’s not your fault, don’t be embarrassed.

Random BUT have you thought about film making? I assume you edited this video and it’s very well created.

Aww i was there too. I wish i had realized that you were there!

Am I the only one with the audio & video sooo off?! Genuinely curious bc I don’t think anyone else has commented this & I’m confused

Hi Whitney it's AbbyD here sorry to hear that you didn't do well on the Uneven bars but you'll get stronger in your gymnastics competitions and gymnastics practice ❤😂

That’s the same with me at competitions on the bars

College gymnastics is so fun. I hope you can do that in the future

That’s really annoying that the bar was so bouncy, certainly if you don’t practice on that. I once needed to compete on vault, but they put it on men’s height, so it was so much higher. I didn’t dared anything, until they put in lower on woman’s height. I also know what you mean if the bar is close to each other. I’m 176 cm, but when it’s on the furthest stand, it’s still close.

Bonito..trabajo..whitney..tequiero..🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

You're one of the tallest if not tallest girl there. It's harder when you're taller, I was too. You did great, just have fun and don't worry what others think or say. They need to learn to have fun too.

You did great

I hate bars as well. And I cannot do my whole routine in warm-up before actually competing it, otherwise I get too tired

Hey I think it's very understandable the meet went the way it did!! I actually think it would go that way for most knowing they were discontinuing the sport!! Your heart is likely not in it anymore! Sending love. I hope you had FUN because that's the most important part!

Whitney, I guess the girls were whispering about you years ago, too. You are well known, that creates envy. And people are just like that. We all have to deal with people talking about us behind our backs. That's unpleasant but one has to learn to accept that. Being very self-conscious at your last meets increased this feeling of uneasiness. And as soe has said here - of course some others will be happy that you made mistakes or were less than perfect. That gives them a comforting feeling of being better (at that particular meet at bars). Think of all the people that hold you in very high regard and even love you. And then go on doing what you like to do. 😊

I think toure a tad hard on yourself, Whit 😜. Ending your bars early was the SMART decision - if you'd kept going you might have hurt yourself, so it was super smart I think. Your beam was GREAT, tou got SECONF, right??! I didn't notice half the stuff you say you did wrong on floor -sure, judges probably saw the mistakes, but to the majority of us, it was a great routine, way above what 99% of us could ever do. Same with your vault 🥰.

I miss you however I wish you would come back to gymnastics too 😢😢😢😢😢😢 I love to see Paris ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Beam Queen. Good luck going forward!

🎉

Is the video and the sound track not syncing ?

Hey! Great job on 7th AA

Good video on Las Vegas Fun. Meet not included in that fun. You may want to work with the USA Gymnastics officials about meet technical specs as those bars look under setup to me.

Whitney, you might have fallen on bars but u did so good on everything else, and at least u did ur best, way to go!

hi Whitney dont worry a lot of us gymnast have bad meets even a perfectionist has bad Meets trust me I had a couple bad Meets and have fallen off bars

When you were going to do college gymnastics, which events would you have competed?

I'm so glad I'm not an artistic gymnast but a rhythmic gymnastics so I don't have to rely on meet apparus/equipment

Dear WHITNEY , my beautiful magical Angel 👼friend you are absolutely beautiful your Jimnastic are absolutely fantastic I am so so very very very proud of you your a beautiful star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 even your best is absolutely brilliant your great 👍👍👍👍👍 your brilliant please stay safe and well ,from David ps your really great 👍👍👍👍your brilliant

What gyms have you gone to along your gymnastics career

WHATEVER! You will get past it.

i miss nessa so much she was an amazing coach

Hey I was in las vegas on December 14th-18th of 2022

Haha...the girls who were whispering were probably saying, "omg, it's Whitney! It's really her!"

Those bars ARE super bouncy 😵‍💫
