Can you elaborate?
Sure.. I mean, this is all from observations. I've had a few conversations with Jordyn's mom at competitions, but besides that I do not know her personally.

In competition, she was very to herself. I understand that, as it wasn't her best meet and she was "in the zone." However, the other girls, (including Nastia who is always in the zone at meets) would tend to come off of their events and wave to the screaming little girls and hug the other gymnasts and joke with each other. She seems to be doing more of that relaxed, having fun at this competition.

Now, outside of the competition... all of the little fans stick around to get pictures and autographs with the gymnasts. Nastia was the best, trying to get absolutely as many fans in as possible. Aly and Gabby were also very good about it, basically fighting the "security guards" and managers to let them stay and do more with the fans. Kyla also walked away from the fans after signing, and then ran over to other fans to sign more. Jordyn walked over and did a few, all with pretty stern look on her face, and then left the arena.

Also, outside of the arena, there is usually a small group that congrats the gymnasts as they leave and go back to their hotels. Again, Gabby was fighting with her manager (who wanted to leave) because she wanted to sign more autographs and take pictures. Aly was in more of a hurry, but she talked to everyone as she walked to her car and thanked everyone for coming and smiled. Same with the Woga girls, Nast and Becca smiled and thanked everyone as they walked by. Then Jordyn came up to the gate and saw there were people outside... her manager and security guard came out and pushed everyone into lines. This made more of a big deal than if she had just walked out, because people across the street and other places saw the commotion and ran over. Then they waited for the car to pull up, and about four or five people surrounded Jordyn as she basically ran to the car with her head down and silent.

I understand being uncomfortable with the spotlight and pressure, but it just seemed a little... "diva"-like to me, to cause such a commotion over leaving the competition.
 
WOOOHOOOOOO! Except not loving the cowboying in the last pass. LOL
