Minnesota Native Sunisa Lee Makes History as First Hmong-American Olympian
From Local Gymnast to Olympic Champion: Suni Lee's Journey
Prepare yourself for an extraordinary tale of determination, resilience, and groundbreaking achievement as Minnesota native Sunisa "Suni" Lee prepares to grace the Olympic stage as the first American Olympian of Hmong descent.
A Trailblazing Star
At just 21 years old, Suni's remarkable journey has catapulted her from local gymnastics prodigy to Olympic hopeful. Having already secured the 2020 Olympic all-around champion and uneven bars bronze medals, Suni is poised to etch her name in history once more in the upcoming Games.
Hmong Heritage
Suni's triumph transcends the realm of sports, as she embodies the spirit and traditions of her Hmong heritage. Her mother's decision to emigrate from Laos to the United States in 1987 paved the way for Suni's American journey, while her Hmong ancestry serves as a testament to her strength, determination, and unwavering connection to her roots.
