Answer : SUNI LEE
Sunisa “Suni” Lee (born Sunisa Phabsomphou; March 9, 2003) is an American artistic gymnast. She is the 2020 Olympic all-around champion and uneven bars bronze medalist. She was a member of the teams that won gold at the 2019 World Championships and silver at the 2020 Summer Olympics. Lee is a six-time member of the U.S. women’s national gymnastics team and is the first Hmong-American Olympian. With six world championship and Olympic medals, she is tied with Gabby Douglas, Kim Zmeskal, Kyla Ross, and Rebecca Bross as the 9th-most-decorated American female gymnast.
Suni was raised by her mother, Yeev Thoj, and her mother’s partner, John Lee. They were both Hmong immigrants from Laos. Suni eventually adopted John Lee’s surname. She began training at a local gymnastics center when she was 6 years old. Lee quickly moved up the competition levels and was named to the U.S. junior national team in 2017.
Lee began competing at the highest level in 2019. At the U.S. national championship that year she placed behind Simone Biles in the all-around event and won gold in uneven bars and bronze in the floor exercise. This performance meant that Lee was placed on the U.S. national team for the 2019 world championship. The team went on to win their fifth straight world championship, and Lee won a silver in the floor exercise and a bronze in the uneven bars.
Gymnastics competitions were canceled because of the pandemic in 2020, so Lee resumed competing in 2021. At the U.S. national championship Lee once again won a silver in the all-around competition which earned her a place on the Olympic team.
After the Olympics, Lee entered Auburn University in Alabama on a gymnastics scholarship. In 2021 she was named Female Athlete of the Year by Sports Illustrated magazine and was one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people.
