I was in gymnastics a child in the 1970s and that class was very diverse. No one was excluded that was interested in the sport.
who tf could dislike this? some haters fr.
I would suggest some but certainly not all may have disliked it because it feels so overtop in some respects. I'm proud of her as well and she seems like a sweet, decent, down to earth person, but look at what's being placed on her shoulders. She's the face of the Hmong community, the face of Asian Americans, the continuation of America's All Around gold streak and the daughter of Minnesota and St. Paul. Seems like a lot to be shoving at and putting on this girl. This kind of intense praise and attachment of significance to her Hmong and Asian American communities along with what some may consider the over the top spectacle being made of her, this is where some of this pressure and feelings of having to live up to expectations come from and can be a part of what resulted with Simone happening. You've got intense press coverage, the Hmong Community, and the Asian American Community all piling on, add in some well meaning but over zealous supporters and stress and pressure can be unintentionally created. You wonder how much of this is her wanting to participate in these events, and certainly she does, but also what part of this is her possibly feeling obligated and like she can't say no. Some of the dislikes may have been for these reasons though certainly there's going to be those that are just garden variety hate as well.
My dream my children like suni lee
Thanks the USA team.
Periodddddd
OMG!!! She's so great! What a historical intergalactic achievement! Who would have thought that Hmongs can win a gold medal! I want a baby from her now. Let's rename St Paul in her honor and create a national holiday!
😘😍😍😍
Ok

i didn't see any of these people fighting at the alamo for our freedom
i don't know how to respond to that - i guess times change?? they probably don't even know about the Alamo and the people that died for our freedom - people come here and just want to enjoy our freedoms without knowing the ULTIMATE sacrifice Americans gave for our country.... I don't know is that what your saying jojo ???
America is involved in a lot of wars not just in North America but overseas as well. And of course if you weren’t in that war you wouldn’t know? The Alamo happened sometime in the 18th century. I don’t think you were in that war either, but enjoy the liberties that those before you fought to attain it.
They fought communists and saved American fighter pilots shot down on highland jungle of Laos during the Vietnam war.
We should just skip the achievements and give out medals for nationality. Let's do award shows on the best of your race. Being the first Hmoung to win a medal isn't historic it's inevitable. This is America. Her achievement is she is the best of her event and she represented the United States of America. They didn't even say in the story what event she won.
I don’t understand why we can’t celebrate her achievement and her origin? Why the unnecessary hate? Does it bother you that much?
She is American, true. But her ethnicity played a large part in who she is today.
@@KencivalNo one is hating here. The work has been done by people like Jackie Robinson, Jesse Owens, Pete Brown ect. Who lived through segregation and racist laws. That was historic. Laws and regulations we no longer have. It's time we clebrate Americans for their achievements and not their skin color. That's when I will feel racism is over.
Minnesota need to be proud if not than is nothing good about Minnesota only California got the best of the best😂
boy you sure proved your name here with that comment
@@vikeirishman LOL from Cal.
Dude, I'm from CA but I think you should give Minnesota this. Why did you even bring CA into this? She was born and raised in Minnesota, studied gymnastics there. Minnesota gave the US a top Olympian. Good job Sunisa Lee, good job Minnesota.
