Wait, Andrade came back from THREE torn ACL's?  

The fact Andrade is in the Olympics at all is a miracle. Her winning silver is just amazing.

 

I don't think calling this a "choke" is fair at all.

I'm sure she'll be more than happy with being all around Olympic champion once.

 

Yeah, Gabby Douglas was one too and she fizzled out into irrelevance real fast. Lee will forever be regarded as the champion when Biles pulled out and I don't see her repeating this feat in Paris at all.

I'm crying

 

Rebeca, you did Brazil proud!

Oh no, she only gets to win a gold medal she never expected to win. How tragic.

Irrelevance? Douglas basically became a household name.

 

Most gymnast don't aim to collect endless titles like Biles anyway.

I didn't say it was tragic. This title will forever be remembered as the Biles mental health WD. And Lee stands no chance of ever topping Biles' marketing craze in USA. Not in a million years IMO.

Who says she wants to top Biles' marketing craze (including the extreme pressure that comes with it)?

Again, she gets to win an Olympic title she never expected to be able to win. How disappointing.

 

This is beyond what anyone expected Sunni Lee to ever do. She's not an all time great. But she's an Olympic all around champion, and she'll be an Olympic all around champion for the rest of her life.
