Seen the story about her and her Father, loved the synchronized flips off the chairs. Also covered her struggles after his accident, nice insight into the intent focus required for the sport and how fragile it can be, they are not machines.

Glad she got her chance to shine. With all the Biles talk its nice to see her still grab the bull by the horns and run with it.

Biles and the press need to step aside, they have 3 years to talk about what could have been or what went wrong for Biles, for now its the rest of these girls time in the spotlight and for the story to be about one who chooses NOT to compete is absolute garbage press coverage of an event like this.

No doubt. And with the clusterfuck of the Nassar scandal and the Karoyi ranch, it's amazing to see her have her moment. Women's gymnastics needs to get it together and provide more support. Simone Biles standing up for herself and the trauma she has dealt with in a sport she gave her all for is huge. Mental health issues matter and can happen to anyone. I absolutely love that Suni's dad built her a balance beam. Great to see Hmong Americans get to have this light.
