US gymnast, Sunisa Lee, wins gold despite pressure of Biles leaving

- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Lee forged ahead to a gold medal win in the hotly-contested final, while Biles cheered from the stands. Biles went into the Olympics as the favorite to win the all-around event, which would have been her second consecutive championship title, before announcing on Wednesday that she was pulling out of the final. She cited her mental health struggles as the reason for her withdrawal - hinting that the issues are related to trauma from the abuse she suffered at the hands of pedophile doctor Larry Nassar. The former Olympic champion put on a brave face, smiling and cheering in the stands as Lee and and Biles' replacement Jade Carey, 21, took part in the all-around final, which ended up in an incredibly close race. Lee, from Minnesota, put up strong performances on all four events, however she did not cement her win until the final rotation, when she went head-to-head with Brazilian athlete Rebeca Andrade. Andrade, 22, made several mistakes in her floor routine, allowing Lee to forge ahead and claim victory. Carey had very disappointing routines on the uneven bars and balance beam, which saw her drop out of medal contention, although her floor exercise was incredibly strong.

Try to title the US Gymnast Sunisa Lee WITHOUT mentioning Biles. We love Biles but let SUNISA LEE have her day!
So true. 😊
You mean QUIT including biles name with sunisa 🙂
@@dondp7500 hehe xd
Exactly.
biles is a failure, her teammates were denied a gold medal because of biles shown cowardice.
Very humble girl, she is the best but doesn’t say that, she just let others see it through her performance. This is the true character of a champion.
She does not call herself the GOAT. Now she is the GOAT.
Suni had the potential to win even if Simone didn’t leave. She’s strong enough to hit regardless of the unfortunate circumstances as of late. It’s not fair to undercut her hard work and talent by distracting from it for a attractive title.
As for Simone. It was unfortunate timing yes, but let the woman live.
in fact, suni beat simone on the second day of the olymic trials, so yes, suni was totally capable of winning with or without simone.
yes definitely suni was very consistent and hit all her routines! her training definitely paid off!
Word!
I think the vlog title was a lightly covered dig at Biles. "Lee wins gold DESPITE pressure of Biles leaving," as if to say Lee had pressure just like Biles, but she still stepped up to win gold. I agree with you that Lee could have won with or without Biles in the competition.
@@spang9782 ya i mean we love biles but can suni get the recognition she deserves
Suni’s a strong girl, and mentally tough. She deserved this so much.
Her LIFE is about to Change for the better! She can Earn $$$$ now even in college which will Help her family so much!
Our NEW Gymnastics 👑 Very Wise young lady!
congrats to suni lee, the first Hmong-American to when the Gold for her country and her people and her self..
Hmong are not Chinese ?
@@beautyan5309 Most Hmong are ethnically Chinese but culturally very different. Many Hmong are Chinese that fled Mao's China in 50s to 70s. Sunisa's family is ethnically Chinese that's why their last name is Lee which us from the Southern Canton region of China.
@@saiyang432 i think the confusion came because there are many hmong people who are from/ live in china. the ethnic group is across laos as well as south china. but suni’s family is from laos which i’m sure you know.
@@beautyan5309 Hmong are not Chinese. Chinese is Chinese. Hmong is Hmong. Big difference.
@@lolollolol1436 no, we're Hmong, not Chinese.
Suni Lee, The Gold Medal, All-around gymnastics Olympian, Suni Lee. She deserves all the glory alone. SHE focused, she worked around all of the obstacles , and she went all out to do her best, too win. Very humble young woman.
Everything she said. She didn’t let the mental game mess her up. So proud!!
She’s incredible! So proud of her!
This how an athlete should be. Her response was SPOT ON!!! Great Job!!!
I lovee it when she says she was not thinking of medal she is just proud to be performing there. 👏👏👏👏👏
Why always bring up Biles. Let the girl shine, and get off Biles case and let both girls breathe for once.
Suni Lee, you are definitely the best Hmong-American young woman for the 21st Century. You have been working and practicing so hard, so you deserve the Gold Medal. Us Hmong-American parents are so very proud of you. Thank you for bringing the Gold Medal home and creating a such amazing name for our Hmong-Americans. Mi ntxhais Suni Lee aws, koj mas thiaj li tsim nyog yog peb Hmoob tus mi ntxhais Nkauj Ntsuab nawb mog. Peb koj thiab koj niam koj txiv zoo siab tshaj plaws li nawb. We all love you! Congratulations to you and your family!
What’s the point of emphasizing that she is Hmong-American so many times?
@@funkymonk5344 Because it’s such a big thing for a minority group.
@@funkymonk5344 you wouldn’t understand
@@HazelVTcha ok thanks
I didn't realise she was representing the country of Hmong-America. Someone should get her the correct jacket because hers says USA.
In other news, have you seen how many white people have won medals! Wow! All the whites are proud of the white athletes. Well done! Yea we don't do that lol
Congratulations to Suni
You definitely deserves this gold medal 🥇
America is the greatest country, this country can make people’s dream come true no matter who you are, people respect different cultural diversity 💪🏻
Give Suni the full credit she deserves. Media always trying to make her a minor player, even when she is the gold medalist and never fell to any pressure.
Congrats to Suni! As a Hmong American, I’m so proud of her that not only she won for this country we can call home but also for the Hmong community.
Please don’t shame Ms. Biles for leaving, she had her reasons and mental health is a serious matter. I don’t condone bullying. Positive vibes only. Thank you.
Bravo Suni, for overcoming all you did and staying focused and strong! So proud of you!
She has grit! Not backing down from pressure. A true Olympian at heart
Everyone has their own moment, This time it's hers and hers alone, she worked hard for it!
Suni thank you for giving yourself up for our country!!!!! Nothing but gratitude!!!
I'm super proud of Suni she is a gold medalist. I'm a Simone super fan. But let Suni have her turn to shine. She did 🙌
Only one of her teammates stood up and clapped when she won the gold. This young lady isn’t a quitter, she’s a winner.
You noticed that too! Simone didn't look to excited about her doing well, it was like the team saying "We won without you anyways"
First thing I said,only Jordan was cheering 4 her
I think Simone and other teammates didn’t stand up because Suni was guaranteed gold but Jade Carey still hadn’t performed yet and was getting ready to perform.
Hey, who ever wrote the narrative under the video should focus on what happened. Don't make it sound like a fluke. Suni Lee Kicked butt and WON! Give Ms. Lee the props and praises she deserves for winning. Other participant's challenges, hardships and screw ups are always present. By the way she has had a ankle injury for TWO YEARS! She is amazing.
Just another example of the media prioritizing "Clicks" & "Headlines" over the actual story...SMH
I don't love the excessive focus on Simone either but it's just true that all of these gymnasts were competing for second place going into the Olympics. They would honestly happily admit it too, there's no ego there and they all seem like friends to me. That being said, she could have still won if Simone was there, especially if Simone messed up on some difficult skills. There is some precedent for it.
Yes!! She is basically the top gymnast along w Andrade and melnikova once Simone withdrew
Suni and Andrade gave us a nail-biting competition. All the ladies were great!
Not really. Sunni was always going to win
@@rhemy1 they were tenths away. it was close, even if suni is “always going to win” which is never true nobody always wins. it still was nail biting cause it was close
@@si-jx1nb the shocker is that they were close not that suni wasnt going to win. Suni is like 99% better than that other girl. Suni has more consistent details and landings etc. all things equal Suni should win. Receces would have to upgrade her routine to beat suni because she isn’t as meticulous as suni. Nothing is a given but it was very likely suni would win given her consistent performances
@@rhemy1 i agree but it’s stupid to act like the competition was a clear easy win for suni.
@@romanzeforviola the commentators. Who are they? I just looked at both routines. It is clear they are very similar but rebeca made more mistakes. She’s like a mix betweeen Simone and Suni only without Simone’s power to over come her mistakes. Suni is more consistent. Hence why she won and what I figured would happen. It’s pretty clear.
Congratulations to Suni. Don't let anybody take away your glory. You deserved it period.
The media shx for taking this away from her..she won based on her merits. Shame on the media
Of course she won the gold 🏅 She’s nothing short of amazing!! Congrats, Suni! Team USA🇺🇸
Well spoken for an 18 years old rising SUPER Star! Greatness in progress... 👍
Soo well spoken...
Congratulations Suni Lee..
We're soo proud of you from all over the world...
she is really cute and humble. i am so happy for her that she won gold
I watched Suni for the first time during the USA olympic trials and i immediately knew she was going somewhere. This girl is so talented, strong, and humble. Congratulations to her, the USA team, and her family! So well deserved and so happy for all them
Suni Lee is awesome and my inspiration as an 11 year old gymnast struggling with practices right now. Thank you Suni!! Congratulations!!!💖🎖🎉💖
She couldn't have said It better. It was tough she wanted to give up but she didn't.
That's what makes a champion.
The pressure got doubled... and you came through!! What a champ!!!
Congratulations to Suni Lee and her family!!
Amazingly well spoken young lady! Congratulations!!!! 🙌
She is very well spoken for a teenager. What a pleasure not to have to strain to understand her. Lovely young lady, and I'm very happy for her and proud of her. She brought credit to her country
So gracious of her , what a Winner 🏆🥇👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
So deserving! Graceful, mentally focused. She’s overall the real Queen!
She beat Simone on the day 2 of Olympic trials. So she was always threat to simone.
Exactly, Simone knew she couldn't beat Sunisa so she quit to avoid embarasment.
Anyone can win at any given time. People just like to put others success down.
@@lolollolol1436 Is that what it was? So narrow minded. Suni has her own strengths and never a "threat" to Simone.
@@lolollolol1436 that’s not why, Simone has beat Suni MANY times.
Every elite gymnast has the ability to beat Simone, it just so happens that not a lot of them have in the past and that is why she is the most decorated gymnast of all time. Stop hating on her for no reason, Sunisa won and we are all happy for her! We don't know what would've happened if Simone was well enough to compete and we will never know, can we stop bashing Simone now for no reason at all? Did these trolls want her to injure herself, so she can proof it was unsafe for her to compete? Earn your own olympic medal before you bash the accomplishments of another athlete.
Well done Suni Lee. You really deserve it!
Awesome athlete and even better human. Congrats Suni, we are ALL proud!
She was amaizing! She did fight till the end! Congratulations to her and all the other girls. What a beautiful competition to watch!!!
She is amazing, the way she handled the pressure , wow!!!! So proud of her!!
She's so amazing and humble!! She deserves it! So proud of her.
This was meant to be for her 💕
I am so proud of this warrior. She did not crumble under pressure but rose upon the occasion. Congratulations to the Hmong community of the USA. America is the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Well, she wrote that he did it for herself. Not USA.
@Lg3 I agree with you. I found it to be very sad and disrespectful to her country. She was there to represent America. But she wrote that she did it for. Herself abs that doesn’t have to get the gold fr anybody
Crumble under pressure? You mean the pressure of being deemed the absolute GREATEST of all time? The pressure of being named the most decorated gymnist in history, the official FACE of the Olympics, and feeling the need to uphold this standard of perfection and greatness at all times? No no no.. while I love Suni ❤, and rooting for her tremendously, my sweet Suni was NEVER under this magnitude of pressure over the course of several YEARS. What you fail to realize is that if a gymnast is not mentally/emotionally ok, they can SERIOUSLY hurt themselves out there, or WORSE, cause permanent damage. When your mind shuts down, how is it that you can trust that your body will do what it's supposed to do? It truly becomes a dangerous situation. So let's praise the beautiful, talented and BRAVE Simone for making a wise decision while also lifting up lovely Suni.
@@tru_kru_bahbee24 Simone is the victim of her own perfectionism.
@@tru_kru_bahbee24 you are just the same as those shaming Simone. Just stop. This moment is Suni’s. Let’s just congratulate her for all the years of hard work leading up to this moment.
Winning a gold medal 🥉 with all that pressure. True Champion!!!
"I was told to do, what I normally do.." that's talent. Congratulations team 🇺🇸
A true champion never quits! Congrats!! Suni we're proud of you!!
Simone Biles was the leader of the women gymnastic team. But it’s also an opportunity for Sunisa Lee to prove that she and the rest of the girls are very capable to take the lead of its own. She step up and do what she’s trained and love to do all her life. To me Simone Biles just have a bad day just like any great gymnast. It can happen to anyone. Sometimes people forget reason for being in the Olympic “Game”. Do your best, have fun and hope to meet new friends. Despite of the deadly virus cause plague, distrust and misunderstanding among countries. Olympic game bring people together across the world and to demonstrate not only our strength in sport but also to get know other culture and character of people across the world. That is the purpose of Olympic game. It’s not about winning any medal or gold. Remember the moment you step in the arena of Mt. Olympus, you already proved that your the best.
Adam Taylor, you spoke truth!
Hey suni, congratulations on winning the gold medal. I really am very proud of you. I really wish you nothing but the very best for the rest of your life.
What an accomplishment! So PROUD.
Proud of Suni Lee.
Lee are sweet and humble, love u girl…the Midwest is proud of you
Go Suni! Way to step up! I thought she was just going to get the gold in UB…wow! The country is so proud of you 👏.
Title should read, "-US gymnast, Sunisa Lee, wins gold". There I fixed it for you.
Congratulations and great way to compete.
I would like some hair tutorials from Suni. How does she keep her hair so perfect after all the things she does?
Congratulations !!! So proud of her ! I'm from the same community, living in Switzerland, I went to Minnesota/St-Paul during summertime 2018 where a part of my family lives. Suni is the first Hmong gymnast of this level, there will be others because she is so inspiring ! I've got a niece who is 12 and she has been learning classic dance since the age of 5, she trains very hard to be a "danseuse étoile". Maybe the first Hmong ballerina !
Now When people ask what’s a Hmong, you go like Sunisa Lee
Exactly I will use this going forward 😂
lmao.. im hmong and that's hella cringe!. now everyone thinks we are gymnasts and beautiful.. when the majority isnt even close to that.. cringe af! lmao
Maybe not gymnasts, but we are pretty damn beautiful. Just cuz you ugly, don't cringe lol
had to google it...now i know
Brenda Song is also Hmong
Biles would of lost if she would not have QUIT. Lee was the true leader of that team. Congratulations, you are a true champion.

It seems like you are perhaps jealous of Simone.
I totally disagree. Lee only beat Simone once, and Simone wasn't even doing some of her usual routines which had the highest scores. If Simone were to do the individual all round, she would perform those routines with very high scores, and would have won. Lee would have won silver. I'm so proud she decided to stop. Shows she values what's more important: herself. Anyways, Suni won gold, and that's crazy awesome. I'm just sad for Jade.
💯
I am a big fan of Suni but no. Simone's qualifying score alone tops the whole final today. No one scored above Simone's shaky qualification performance and that is impressive as hell.
@@danielli1701 qualifying for what? Quitting?
An articulate champion. Congratulations to her 👍🏻
a stamp in Olympic history
Thank you for not quitting Suni Lee. You made America proud. Minnesotan proud of you, too.
Congratulations...You have made the USA Proud!!!! You should be on the Wheaties Cereal Box...
Congratulations Suni!!
Soooo soooo proud of her
“Fate” gave Suni Lee an opportunity to become the champion. After Simone’s withdrawal, Suni was more prominent than other competitors.
hardwork, dedication, and time. don’t diminish her accomplishment to ‘fate’. we will have never known the aa final with simone in it, let her be proud of her win without making it sound like it was chance.
@@jaylene3332 I agree with you Suni could have won the gold with or without Simone, but one thing I know for sure: without Simone, Suni’s path to victory was wider, smoother and easier.
The comments on here are disgusting. First of all: huge congrats to Sunisa for winning AA title, you did amazing and everyone is so so proud of you.
then... Some of yall still bashing Simone in the comments is sickening, and it shows that none of you know anything about gymnastics. Gymnasts and people who actually know more about the sport than just watching the Olympics once ever 4 years, know that what Simone did was to save her own life and so that her teammates could have a shot to medal. That doesn't make her any less of a gymnast. Are yall seriously that incapable of putting yourselves in other peoples shoes or were you all just waiting for a moment to hate on Simone because frankly it looks personal.
Every elite gymnast has the ability to beat Simone, it just so happens that not a lot of them have in the past and that is why she is the most decorated gymnast of all time. Stop hating on her for no reason, Sunisa won and we are all happy for her! We don't know what would've happened if Simone was well enough to compete and we will never know, can we stop bashing Simone now for no reason at all?

You, stay-at-home-talk-trash-about-olympians-on-your-silly-little-screen are the saddest bunch of humans out there, lord.
She didn't quit. Well done, Suni Lee!
She didn't quit because she is not great all of the time unlike Simone.
@@L.Bebber8593 - Simone is a great gymnast; however, the argument that she is the "GOAT" is somewhat nearsighted. There are fantastic gymnasts throughout history -- some with PERFECT scores. Simone Biles is (arguably) the greatest of the last decade.
Congra Sunisa Lee you represent
Way to go Sunny! We're proud of you. Go 🇺🇸 USA.
Now this is what a "GOAT" is supposed to do
The greatest don't break under pressure. You earned your medal ....congratulations!
You're so amazing, Suni.🥇
Congratulations Suni! You did it.
Very proud of her!
She did not quit
a true Olympic winner not a quitter
All the athletes competing at the Olympics deserve sportsmanship and recognition. Congrats to her for earning the gold.
Way to step up even after another teammate quit you never stopped trying! 👍🏼🏆
Shes such a cutie. Beautiful and talented.
I am very happy for Suni...Let us hope as she continues to progress in other competitions, she does not become as
effected as Simone has become with regards to mental stress due to so much
Media hype and such great expectations .t
Great job Suni. We are proud of you.
CONGRATULATIONS !!
*With Biles leaving she told her this is your time. It's your turn. Go out there and win it all.*
I love them both!
"I literally bobbled on my dance and I was like, Suni are you serious right now? FOCUS! - Suni Lee
That's the spirit of an champion, Simon drop out or not Suni will take home gold no matter what.
Super proud of my self for sticking with it....EXACTLY
Congratulations Sunisa Lee
Congratulations Suni you nailed it.
Olympic Gold Suni...Congratulations! A job well done.
Desde Peru muchas bendiciones y felicitaciones.
What the H is with these headlines? Biles dropped out. Celebrate this girl by herself
Outstanding
I am proud of this young woman, she did great job. Stop saying she didn't quit, neither did Simone. Simone chose her mental state, this young woman didn't have a 1/4 of the mental pressure that Biles went into this tournament with. The media put this pressure on Simone, making it all about her instead of just enjoying the tournament. Simone, is and will be the goat, for decades to come, she has vaults named after her. Congratulations to this young lady, and a job well done to Simone.
GOATs don't fold under pressure. Call her dominant if you want, but she's not the GOAT.
I just want to say St Paul Minnesota grown product! We love you Suni. Don't be surprise if she wins gold in uneven bars and beam. Those are her specialty
SUNI LEE SUNI LEE
You have all the right to boast about your accomplishment girl. CONGRATULATIONS! You have a long journey ahead of you! Wish you all the luck in your future endeavor!
Lion Hearted!!!!! I wish there was a bet line in Vegas…I called it when Biles catted off and quit….Suni was gonna be our knight in shining armor!!! Do your homework check out the back story on this kid…She is nothing short of straight SAVAGE!!! This one was for her POPS!!!! She was gonna go off regardless she’s been thru the REAL pressures of LIFE and persevered !!!! You can’t break a Real 1!!!!
Congratulations Suni. Love from South Africa!🇿🇦
THE NEW GOAT HAS ARRIVED
Simone is still the GOAT!
