womens gymnastics teamon social media despite their spectacular performance in the team final at the2024 Paris Olympics.
However, amid their success, accusations of poor sportsmanship emerged, casting a shadow over their victory.
The 23-year-old had emerged as the fourth-best qualifier in the preliminary round.
Suni Lee deserved a better embrace from Jordan Chiles after edging Chiles for All-Around individuals.
we dont get to critique other peoples valid emotions!
hit it one more time!
one said, while another wrote, Shes not a show pony to perform for the cameras.
she and suni were posting fun tiktoks immediately after the competition finished.
have we really learned nothing about showing theseathletesgrace at their lowest moments?
She shouldnt have to hide behind a mask because the cameras are in her face.
This is a strange thing to be judgmental about, another said.
This was probably Jordans last shot at the all-around title the thing shes worked her whole life for.
Shes allowed to have emotions about that.
Jordan will be there to cheer Suni on when the time comes.
