Her winning silver is just amazing. I don't think calling this a "choke" is fair at all. heywoodu and TheMeem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most gymnast don't aim to collect endless titles like Biles anyway. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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)?

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. pdr4332 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
