American Sunisa Lee Wins the Olympic Women’s Gymnastics All-Around Gold

TOKYO—Sunisa Lee became the new Olympic women’s all-around champion on Thursday, retaining in U.S. possession a particularly coveted gold medal suddenly up for grabs after the stunning departure of Simone Biles from the competition.

Her coronation came at the conclusion of three surreal days that saw the greatest ever gymnast withdraw and completely upend expectations of how the event would unfold—and leave everyone uncertain if the American women would hold onto a crown they have owned since 2004, or break the direct line of succession from household first-name stars Carly, Nastia, Gabby and Simone.Lee, an 18-year-old from Little Canada, Minn., is believed to be the first Hmong-American on an Olympic gymnastics team.

Rebeca Andrade of Brazil finished second. Angelina Melnikova of the Russian Olympic Committee was third.

Good!!!!

Congrats to her!

Give to Sunisa Lee what she deserves, stop mentioning the quitter

Hero

We should recognize that Sunisa Lee’s victory is robbed of the attention it deserves because of Bile’s withdrawal.

Awesome, there’s the real hero

Thanks for the picture of Ms Lee. Glad you were able to find one unlike other sites (*cough* NBC)

AWESOME!

Enquanto uma desiste, apesar de toda estrutura,uma brasileira ganha prata. Contra tudo e todos mostrou o que é um atleta olímpico.

Super inspiring to see and watch live! Makes me wish I didn't quit women's gymnastics when I was younger. olympics

Learn from the German gymnasts who have accepted the sacredness of covering up. Go make some Muslim women friends and read about Islam. Give up this shameless display - the German girls are setting a lovely example as the West starts to move in a sacred direction
