Shayla's "story" was far from over after the disappointment of breaking her leg right before 2008 Olympic Trials. Shayla is currently a junior at the University of Georgia and competing for them in NCAA Women Gymnastics.
Broken legs with gymnastics are hard to have and then start training again it takes more than a year to get back into shape and almost 2 years to get as good as you were. trust me i know firsthand it happened to me on uneven bars.
@lamo0or1 because they girls train their whole fucking lives to get to where they are then they get an injury which can prevent them from being the best. Imagine that, training 7 days a week, morning and night. it would suck.
How many other people lost out on Olympic dreams, or dreams of other sports. I think just about everyone had dreams they lost out on, myself included. The list of ballplayers who lost out on big league careers due to injuries is a long one indeed. I feel sorry for this girl, but it isn't a tragedy. It's life.
I'm shocked at how stupid this video is. So she broke her leg. BIG FUCKING DEAL!!! If she really wants to compete again she will. And I completely understand being depressed over not being able to do the sport you love, but this video hit new lows of stupidity.
ok so sad story because she broke her leg and disn't went to olypics?? i get se was depressed an stuff but seriously.... people die becouse of gymnastic.. she survived.... gosh.
please this video puts bad thoughts about gymnastics when really gymnastics is about taking a chance but also it requires strength beauty skill and cordination
She is still living her dream. I thought she died too, the way the music was playin and the pics. Well, she broke her leg, and that is unfortunate..could have been her neck, back, ribs, a whole lotta shit could have happened: Death. Many gymnast have died or died of complications, so yes she is blessed. Also very pretty. :)
This is not sad. So what- she didn't make the Olympic team. Do you know how many girls dream of making the Olympics?! Feel sorry for the ones that would have been great but whose parents didn't have the money to send them to the schools and teams so they could master their art. This girl had every chance. She was one of the blessed ones.
Had she won Olympic gold that wouldn't define her either. People aren't what they do or what happens to them. People are possibilities. What happened to her isn't sad, sad is just one way of being about it. Sadness isn't in what happened, sadness is in some people's minds. It doesn't exist in time and space.
This is ridiculous and the poster of this video is either irresponsible or more likely just a kid who doesn't understand. By calling it "Shayla Worley a sad story", they're saying SHE is a sad story, I guess since she didn't make the 08 team. That is frankly insulting. I'm sure she has happy, sad and every other kind of story just like everyone else but none of them define her. Had she won Olympic gold that wouldn't define her either. People aren't what they do or what happens to them. Peo
hello... I think you misunderstood me...I myself took gymnastics....I was asking another person (commenting on their comemnt) about why THEY thought gymnastics was stupid ....if it their passion, its their passion......peace
I do not know exactly what was but I believe you will achieve your dream, if God will be with you, but if you do not ostveri attempt to achieve it at least in my dreams! and I'm training for gymnastics so that we could possibly give advice on how to get into B program, and to be better and more successful? thanks!

I love watching gymnastic but I don't know all the gymnast men or women. So when I saw this vid I don't what I should be sad about. Did she die from breaking her neck doing a very dangerous move or from cancer. What is the back story of the vid.
Look, you ahev great ideas behind the montage, but it's not well done. , you have good ideas, but please use better material. Try to separate the text. words aren't very moving when they looked as if they have just been thrown on lazily. also, don't reuse images.

shayla isa lucky to have people like the poster of this video. a strong support system helps everyone that hits the speed bumps of life, get through those darkest of times. never stop believing!!!
that is a sad one, yes, but atleast shes still alive, like Kerri Strug before her, she moved away from gymnastics after an injury, I hope these ladies who have moved away from gymnastics after injuries, are all happy, and healthy, i know it's hard for a dream to be ended, but hopefully they have found something else to do, be, that means as much to them as being an Olympian... or maybe find a way back to the sport she dedicated her youth to...
i was so sad when i found out she broke her leg:( ..... i realllly wanted her to make the 2008 team... at the olympic trials i only cheered for her and nastia...
shayla is very talented and for her to make the olympic will mean more to her then any other gymnast thats been there 3 times and i think that even if a gymnast like shayla hasn't gotten the chance to go to the olympics and knowing as good as she is it makes you think that your not good enough and it puts a lot in your mind and then you make mistakes cause you figure what is it going to take to let her get on that team and represent the usa at the olympic games
Yeah, it's really not all that sad. This montage is tad bit overdramatized. Shayla Worley and her family felt far too assured that she'd qualify to the Olympics, anyway. Even if she hadn't had the injury, she wouldn't have made it.
actually i know her and we were friends at the gym....she was doing an illusion at the olympic trials and had a gaurenteed spot on the olympic team....well she was warming up her illusion in warm-ups and they were thought that she had shin splints and well when she did the illusion the leg that was up in the air broke. her spot on the olympic team was gone, because she wouldnt recover in time!
she never would have made the olympic team. I think it was a good thing that she broke her leg, at least she can use that as an excuse, she would never have to face the fact that she was not olympic material in any situation.
Do you think that she will try for the Olympic team for London '12?? That would be so awesome if she did!!! I'm so glad to hear that she's still competing on the collegiate level!
Very disapointing that shayla was not chosen for the olympic team, but god has better things for her to do. very kind of u to make it for her. i always youtube gymnastics monatages, and im surprised that all of them are about death or paralysis. Cant someone focus on positive stories of girls who achieved their dreams? Please no one take this the wrong way. im not bashing the video or user, but i think its just as easy to look at the positive for her and other girls. Best of luck to you shayla!
She is an amazing gymnast and would have been on that team for sure if it wouldnt have broken her leg, but she went to Beijing as a contributor for insidegymnastics magazine...she is now at UGA being amazing
all i can say is...it didnt turn out the way you wanted it, but you are able to WALK, RUN, SKIP, BREATH ON YOUR OWN,DRIVE A CAR, HAVE CHILDREN...i understand you were disapointed, but you are alive...you can help someone else who is a much worse state than yourself! i'm not knocking this video because everybody strives to do different things and you couldnt do what you trained for, but i'm proud of you and impressed you made it that far! keep your head up!
my coach almost made the olympics but she broke her neck at the olympic trials.. stuff happens.. every four years out of 4 thousand gymnasts (on the girls side, plus the number is prolly in the 10's of thousands) only 6-8 make it to the olympics. that means 3,992 gymnasts don't.. but you know don't worry about them its not like they wanted to go to the olympics either..
I wish i was in gymnastics or cheerleading and i love to watch videos of it but every time i watch a video it almost makes me cry cuz i want to be in it so bad but my mom dont have enoguh money for me and my twin sis to go it cost $30 bucks a month for each of us
She is lucky she still has a gymnastic career and go for the next olympics. Tragic is what happened to Julissa, Christy, Elena and others who have died from their sport. Truly sad is Kristi Phillips who was at the top of her game for years, but too young to compete at the olympics. When trials came around Kristi had hit puberty and a huge growth spurt. She didn't have enough time to adjust to the brand new body and ended up an alternate. Shayla, you aren't done yet!
@RedNativeRose Hiya!! I don't want to say anything negative. But I would like to ask you a question.. Why do you think a gymnasts passion for their sport, is stupid??....Being a former gymnast myself, I'd like to know the reasoning behind your comment....Peace and happiness to you!! :)
Shayla Worley broke her leg at training camp and yes did not get to become apart of the olympic team. But she is now at UGA. A Gym Dawg. One of the BEST might I add. Tonight the Gymdawgs went against Kentucky and Shayla did AMAZING on bars and floor with a 9.975 on floor. That girl is amazing at what she does & I believe she will make it to the Olympic Team some day.
@goingforgold21 i know i luv shayla and i think she is a wonderful gymnast and she is doing a great job 4 the gymdawgs!!! and like u i hope she will have another chance to go 2 the olympics this viedo was made because i wanted everyone to appreciate her gymnastics skill!!!
@jewelrider321 No, she's not too old. There are plenty of older gymnasts out there. Kelly Garrison competed in Seoul at 21. Oksana Chusovitina competed in Beijing at 33. There are many.
i wasnt ticked off...ticked off would be like shut up punks, it is sooo stupid to argue about that! that is not what i did... i guess there was another misunderstanding =l
It's kind of sad. It's hard to work for a dream and not see it fulfilled. Sometimes the real value is the journey it self. Shayla, you are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents!
I missed going in 96 in wieghtlifting, 2 kilos stood in the way. I'm not sad and it's not that bad. But I did see alot of lifters get heartbroken to the point of needing counseling. Parents, don't push your kids too far, and teach them how to lose with dignity. Knowing how to lose builds character. I now coach and am very happy. Shayla, I wish you all the best !
that is true but really its sad for every gymnast who is so close 2 going 2 the olympics and get hurt but your right she will have a carrer in collage wich is good i guss
it is sad i am a gymnmast the worst thing is your name not being called for the olympics it can lead to even depression its worse than breaking every bone in your body it feels like you just did a thomas salter and broke your neck so it is really sad
no the next olympics are in 2012 and yes i am well aware of how difficult and rough gymnastcis are on the body thats the name of the game..suck it up and get over it. Parents think that just because they pay money to a gym and thier kids learn difficult skills that reach olympic hopeful levels that thier kid was cut out for gymnastics. Everyone isnt meant to compete in gymnastics!!!!!! no matter how much they want it..
Ummm... this story is nothing new. People get their hopes dashed all the time. Not getting her name chosen for the Olympics makes her special because....?
Did you ever read the blog she wrote while in Beijing for the Olympics? She made a lot of negative comments about the Chinese culture, and the fact that they didn't speak English, which made it hard for her to communicate with the local populace. Gee, Shayla, why didn't YOU learn some Chinese?
And then there was the flack about her family soliciting donations so they can all go to watch her compete in Beijing. This is BEFORE the team is even named!
one of those pics was Carly Patterson

Um, wow. Let me give you a little info.
Shayla Worley broke her leg at training camp and yes did not get to become apart of the olympic team. But she is now at UGA. A Gym Dawg. One of the BEST might I add. Tonight the Gymdawgs went against Kentucky and Shayla did AMAZING on bars and floor with a 9.975 on floor. That girl is amazing at what she does & I believe she will make it to the Olympic Team some day.

@gymnasticschic1 she's probably too old now after 18 your career is pretty much done
jewelrider321 10 months ago
@jewelrider321 No, she's not too old. There are plenty of older gymnasts out there. Kelly Garrison competed in Seoul at 21. Oksana Chusovitina competed in Beijing at 33. There are many.

@goingforgold21 she probably won't, because she quit elite gymnastics, now she's at college, she can't go to the olympics...

It's kind of sad. It's hard to work for a dream and not see it fulfilled. Sometimes the real value is the journey it self. Shayla, you are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents!

I missed going in 96 in wieghtlifting, 2 kilos stood in the way. I'm not sad and it's not that bad. But I did see alot of lifters get heartbroken to the point of needing counseling. Parents, don't push your kids too far, and teach them how to lose with dignity. Knowing how to lose builds character. I now coach and am very happy. Shayla, I wish you all the best !

actually its not really a sad story compared to other gymnasts who died or got paralyzed (did i spell it right)
she has the rest of her life
she can be successful in any other career
who knows

gymnasticschic1 2 years ago

no the next olympics are in 2012 and yes i am well aware of how difficult and rough gymnastcis are on the body thats the name of the game..suck it up and get over it. Parents think that just because they pay money to a gym and thier kids learn difficult skills that reach olympic hopeful levels that thier kid was cut out for gymnastics. Everyone isnt meant to compete in gymnastics!!!!!! no matter how much they want it..

Did you ever read the blog she wrote while in Beijing for the Olympics? She made a lot of negative comments about the Chinese culture, and the fact that they didn't speak English, which made it hard for her to communicate with the local populace. Gee, Shayla, why didn't YOU learn some Chinese?
And then there was the flack about her family soliciting donations so they can all go to watch her compete in Beijing. This is BEFORE the team is even named!
