Amina Mackalo brings an undeniable power to beam that makes her gymnastics impossible to overlook. As a Michigan State commit, she will bring the Spartans a routine built around the kind of explosive attack and clean execution that can make a major impact in a college lineup. She does not hesitate on her skills, attacking each one with confidence and allowing her power to become one of the defining qualities of her beam work. Her back handspring-back tuck is a perfect example. Amina launches the series off the beam with impressive power, creating the kind of amplitude that makes the skill look almost effortless before finishing with an easy stick. That same power carries through the rest of her routine, with every skill showcasing clean form and strong body control. She has the rare ability to combine extreme power with polished execution, making her difficult gymnastics look both dynamic and controlled. With that combination of explosiveness, precision, and confidence, Amina has the potential to become a standout beam worker for Michigan State.

Amina Mackalo is a polished bars worker who stands out for her excellent handstands, clean form, and efficient swing throughout her routine. Her current set features a clear hip handstand to Hindorff, clear hip handstand to Pak salto, and a double tuck dismount, showcasing both strong fundamentals and advanced release work. She continues to build her difficulty with a Hindorff to Pak connection and double layout dismount in training, making Mackalo an exciting bars prospect for any future lineup.

Mackalo is hard at work with her summer upgrades. She has been training a Hindorff to Pak salto connection on the set and double layout dismount onto a mat in the pit. Mackalo previously competed a double back dismount and the double layout dismount would increase the value from a C to D difficulty, which makes her that much more ready for a college program.
