MyKayla Skinner Hospitalized With Pneumonia, Lingering Effects Of COVID-19

MyKayla Skinner is hospitalized with pneumonia after suffering some lingering effects of COVID-19. Skinner posted the news on her Instagram story. The two-time World Champion and NCAA Champion is competing for a spot on the 2021 US Olympic Women's Artistic Gymnastics team.


Her husband Jonas Harmer contracted coronavirus a month or so ago while on a business trip. The couple quarantined during that time of testing positive for COVID-19 but Skinner is still experiencing additional symptoms since the initial diagnosis.

We wish MyKayla a swift recovery during this time.
