Sunisa Lee is the new GOAT!

Simons has 5 or 6 medals. 4 of which are gold, op. You're just trying to be an asshole.

Stop acting like she didn't dominate in the 2016 Olympics.

good for her

Move over, Simone. Suni is much younger, more talented and She’s here to stay!!!

Suni is the wrong color for the new woke America.

Love love love Sunisa!!!

Sunisa means a very beautiful night.

She is the first American of Hmong descent to win a medal at the Olympics. Trump would hate her.

is anyone here hmong? what are hmong people like? whats their reputation

The Hmongs to Laos are like the Rohingyas to Myanmar. Both ended as refugees in Thailand who doesn't want anything to do with those two ethnic groups.

They don’t give GrubHub sponsorships to people who only eat four times a month.

Where's her Wheaties box?

They are tribes who worked with the Americans during the Vietnam War. Theyd have been killed after the Americans left. So they were brought here.

R8 Nothing like the Rohingya who are illegal migrants to Myanmar from Bangladesh.

Read the USA Today link and your Hmong questions can be answered,

Kim Zmeskal. Jeez, there's a name we haven't heard in about 20 years. One of the most overhyped, overrated gymnasts who was gifted a world title the year the championships were 'coincidentally' held in her country and then showed her true abilities when she landed on her fat ass during her routines at the Olympic games.

R11 - Rohingyas were brought to Burma (Myanmar) by the British to deal with the locals during the colonial years. The Hmongs were ethnic people immigrated from Southern China and lived in Laos. But they cooperated with the US and fought against the locals during the Vietnam War. The fate of those Afghan minions who worked for the US in Afghanistan will be the same.

R14 The new Rohingya migration to Myanmar began and in larger numbers after the Bangladesh war of 1971.

I took a class in college that focused (for a small part of the semester) on the Hmong who'd relocated to in the Central Valley in California after Vietnam. I vividly recall reading personal essays of their experience as, essentially, US operatives that were astoundingly dark.

I have the utmost respect for those people and couldn't be happier for Suni. She was, appropriately, astounding in her own right.

I'm over discussions about who is the GOAT -- gymnastics is a subjective sport -- but Suni rocked it yesterday!

I keep reading this as "Susie Lee".

I don't get the impression that Suni's family is very wealthy -- and gymnastics is an expen$ive sport -- so I hope she makes some bank with endorsements.

Suni's family had to sell t-shirts and egg rolls to pay for her lessons and travel. Her mom said she made Pho and sold it to the Hmong community, which contributed to her finances. Her dad's accident has also caused financial problems.

This ‘GOAT’ shit is fucking embarrassing

Good for her

A gold, a silver and a bronze for Sunisa at these Games. She has a complete set of medals.

She deserves all the accolades she’s receiving, but the girl is no GOAT. She received a single gold medal.

[quote]what are Hmong people like?

The men are humongous!

Just my experience in ‘80s Portland - the resettled Hmongs from the Nam debacle held onto what they knew but pushed their kids to assimilate and achieve. And they did.

St Paul had a huge turnout for their gal Sunisa. She did so well and deserves her accolades.

I always wonder if other nations are in awe at how racially diverse the USA Olympic athletes are.

Suni Lee is indeed the "goat of the moment," as Sigh-mone imagined herself to be. Nadia Comaneci will forever be the actual greatest gymnast. (And she refuses to be referred to as a barnyard animal name.)

R19, Simone's family is very well-to-do, in contrast.

Tasteful friends:

R 28,which makes Suni's victory even more an example of the" American Dream." Working immigrants, scraping to provide lessons and travel for their daughter , are rewarded with her winning the gold. Mom won't have to cook and sell food to get the money anymore.

I didn’t know Simone billes came from a well off family

Sumi’s story is very inspiring. It’s sad that the media had to take away from her hard earned victory In order to prop up Simone Billes.

Odd fact: Sunisa Lee went to the same obscure suburban Twin Cities high school as Loni Anderson, Richard Dean Anderson, and Peter Krause.

Suni is the wrong color.

I like her. She's got a good head on her shoulders, and she has the right idea to stay away/minimize contact on social media.

If we are putting asterisks next to the names of the winners at this year's events shouldn't there also be asterisks next to the other undeserving winners of the past such as Mary Lou Rotten?

There are no asterisks, r34.

R35, I concur. Keep in mind that Suni is the only gymnast who beat Simone in an All-Around since 2013 -- she did so on Night 2 of Olympic Trials.

She's also very pretty, even though she's so tiny.

How can a gymnast have fake nails??

Love Suni but have never seen her teeth, ever. She must feel ashamed of her smile because she only smiles closed-mouth. That might make it hard to get sponsorships unless she gets them done.
