Sunisa Lee: High School| Olympics| Gold| Age…
Lee was born Sunisa Phabsomphou on March 9, 2003, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, to Yeev Thoj, a healthcare worker. When she was two years old, her mother met John Lee, who became Sunisa’s father. Although her parents never legally married, she made the decision to change her last name to his. Lee is of Hmong descent; both of her parents immigrated from Laos when they were children.
High School
She hails from St. Paul, the city with the largest concentration of Hmong in a metro area outside of Southeast Asia. She graduated from South St. Paul High School this year.
Olympics
On Thursday night in Tokyo, moments after Sunisa Lee was awarded the gold medal in the women’s gymnastics all-around competition, the 18-year-old American called the experience “surreal.”
And of course it was. Lee, like every other US gymnast for most of the past decade, was supposed to play second fiddle, at best, to Simone Biles in Tokyo. In 2016, Biles’s teammate Laurie Hernandez told reporters at the Olympics: “If you get silver, you’re the best, because Simone doesn’t count.”
