Suni Lee Becomes Fifth Straight U.S. Gymnast to Win Gold in Women's All-Around

Suni Lee became the latest from Team USA to win an Olympic gold medal in women's all-around gymnastics, a streak that dates back to 2004 in Athens.

With Simone Biles cheering her on in the crowd, the 18-year-old from Saint Paul, Minn., put on a stunning display in the second rotation on uneven bars, her best event, to pull away from Brazil's Rebeca Andrade.

Andrade, Latin America's first medalist in the event, started with the lead after posting the top score on vault in the opening rotation, but stepped out of bounds twice during the floor routine in the final rotation, which sealed the win for Lee.
