- Suni Lee can't wait to show off her Olympic medals to her dad! The star gymnast chatted with Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans about her journey at the Tokyo Olympics. The 18-year-old opened up about winning the three medals for herself and her dad John, who is paralyzed from the chest down, saying, "I had to do this for him because I can walk and I want to live out my dreams ... and the Olympics have been both of our dreams ... so I'm really living out both of our dreams. It honestly makes me kind of emotional because he's my best friend." Suni also praised Simone Biles for winning bronze on beam and noted that she "trained so hard for this."

This guy deserves a gold medal for his interviews during the Olympic Games! He is so smooth and makes the athletes so comfortable. They are all 12-14min long, but you don’t feel it! Loved seeing Suni’s personality in this.
The guy isn't that great give him a bronze
I was thinking the exact same thing
Right? I love him more every interview I see!!
WHOA I was literally about to comment the same thing!!
I agree. Outstanding work. Listens to the athletes, and follows-up with deeper questions. Plus, he is gorgeous to boot.
Sunisa Lee is kind, humble and a good teammate. She has offered support to Simone Biles and openly speaks about the mental health and pressure that she's also had to deal with in preparing and performing in the Olympics. That's a true champion!
She really is kind, and humble.
She’s seems like the sweetest person! Can’t wait to see her dominate college gymnastics! 🥇🤩
the thing about gymnastic is that kids are competing and they're not adults yet we can still feell a sense of innocence in them.
@@rambopart3754 True. Let’s if she changes for the worst in four years.
@@rambopart3754 I feel the culture is changing a lot when it comes to age. I mean everyone representing the USA is 18 or older😳 they’re adults! I believe this might be the first time it’s happened.
@@alinaporter3846 No. There’s some 17 yr olds in there. Haha.
@@tigertank06 Grace is the youngest at 18… Suni is 18 as well. Jordan is 20. Jade is 21. Simone is 24 and Mykayla is 24. 😏
This interview felt so genuine, they are both intelligent and it’s really refreshing to watch.
Pffff he is sooo fake
FOR THE whole 14.
@@orangefield2308 He is not. HE Kitt and Mario make a great team on Access Hollywood.
i think he got teary eyed too
@@orangefield2308 I get how he can come off as maybe too much at times but I love how much he seems to appreciate everything the athletes have to say
That is so sweet. She loves her dad and they share a bond. Then, here she is tearing up talking about it. I also want to say that this is a real treat for Asian Americans, who have faced so much hate this past year, unfairly. Having the first Asian American gymnast win gold at the Olympics.
The interviewer had it wrong. She is the first Asian American to win all around gold, but she is not the first Asian American to win gold on Olympic gymnastics. That was Amy Chow in Atlanta.
Amy chow was an Asian american gymnast and she won gold with team in 1996
It is true that Sunisa Lee is the first Asian American to win the all-around gold in gymnastics at the Olympics. But most, if not all mainstream media never mentioned is the fact that Sunisa Lee is also the FIRST ASIAN WOMAN to win the all-around gold in gymnastics at the Olympics period. China and Japan have so many great women gymnasts. You would think that they would have at least one, but no they don’t.
AND WHAT AN INCREDIBLE PERSON SHE IS! SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT!
Yes, this!!!
This is what I call a winner. Won a whole set of metal but still so humble and knows her roots.
Suni is the QUEEN of freestyle gymnastics on beam and bars. She changes her routine on bars at will and her save on balance beam was an amazing display of her ability to improvise on the spot!
She also adapts her floor routines. Her winning all around floor Routine was a routine she had never competed. She came up with it up right before floor rotation
@@laurencarlson9327 It is also because she's always injury-prone and she has to show up and compete so she has to change her routines all the time to match the situation. Don't forget that! Whereas, Simone has always been expected to hit all her routines
@@laurencarlson9327 I wasn't aware of that... Thanks for the info🌞
@Rambo Part3 yes, I know. It’s what makes her incredible that she was able to do cold 4 pass floor routine during TF and then make a different 3 pass routine during AA. Her usual 3 pass routine is different. She was incredible
Only without Simone...
The best interviewer ever. He needs an honorary gold medal!!
Hahahah he is sooo fake
@@orangefield2308 What's with you? You keep picking on people who comment positive things about the interviewer. Mh-hm, I see you down in the comments 👀
@@unidentified113 OMG not true !!
@@eritreashikor1991 OMG! you are sooo racist and support the KKK !
@@orangefield2308 💀💀now u bringing race into this tryna play a victim? Stfu.
He’s just such a great interviewer! Give him a raise! This was the best interviewer I’ve seen.
She is an amazing athlete and an amazing person. We love you Suni!!!
I love their personality separately, but together it’s magical and a ball of laughs. I love this. I didn’t want it to end. Love you Scott 🖤
I love Jordan Chiles and Grace McCallum's the most too! Jordan is so sweet
perfectly said..
this was truly magical!!
loved both of them..and congrats to Suni for holding it down and bringing the individual gold for 🇺🇸.
LOL ME EITHER! I WAS SO ENJOYING WATCHING THEM!
She has a great personality! She seems to be a well-rounded person. Scott Evans is a great interviewer, made her feel right at home.
It’s important to remember that she came from a refugee family,. It’s not like she came from all this money. She comes from a very humble home. Her parents sacrificed a lot for her to get to where she is now, and she hasn’t taken that for granted.
Suni’s giggles is everything 😭🥺🥺🥺
Amy Chow was the first Asian-American Olympic champion with the 1996 USA team. Suni is the first Asian-American individual Olympic champion, and first-ever Asian individual all-around champion. Obviously the first Hmong-American Olympian and first Hmong-American Olympic champion, no less!
I love how no one mentions her like, guys, tell Suni about Amy Chow!
@@tigertank06 I know she knows the bars move the chow, but maybe she doesn't know what she did and 96 crew
@@TM-tmm Well I hope so since Chow had created two moves. Suni should know those two moves and her coach should’ve told her about them. Has she said she knows the bars move The Chow? I’m also surprised that these gymnasts aren’t taught about past Olympians. They should know who these people are and this host too. He should know that she’s not the first Asian-American Olympic gold medalist.
@@tigertank06 I don't know if I have explicitly her say she knows them, but alot of girls still do the chow and chow 1/2 so I am sure she knows at least one of the moves. I think due to her being born in 2000s she may have just not heard that much about 96 crew I mean for her that was a really long time ago.
As soon as he said that, my mind went, "Hey hold on a minute! What about Amy Chow??" Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed.
Suni is wise and mature beyond her years and so articulate. It is something that I can't control and everyone else is going through it...
This is such a good interview, the interviewer did a good job.
Let’s hope she stays that way with this newfound fame that she has. Olympic gold medal gymnasts change alot in four years and in recent years, not for the better.
Soo well spoken..I'm soo proud of her along with the whole world and the Hmong communites..
Congratulations Suni..we are soo happy and proud of you..💖💖💖
suni deserved it so much! she worked SO hard, and now it paid off. she literally inspires so much people, including me. when she went to nationals in 2019 just for her dad, she literally inspired me SO much.
YES INDEED AND SHE HAS THE MOST ADORABLE BUBBLY PERSONALITY!
This has been my favorite interviewer throughout these games. He actually makes interviews about the athletes and makes them feel so comfortable. You’ll tear up and laugh along with them. He deserves to cover all other games
Suni Lee you make all the Hmong Americans and the whole Hmong in the world so incredible happy .You make History for all of us Hmong so proud of you you Suni Lee.
Not just Hmong American but all Hmong around the world.
Suni also makes ME proud to be American. She’s proof of the courageous immigrant story that can come true! 🌟
She is honor 🌹
@Nraug Cobxub I'm so agree with you. Zuni Lee is represented the U.S.A. PLEASE stop mentioning the word "Hmong"..she is not just represented for the Hmong. Peb nyob teb chaws Mekas tsis yog nyob teb chaws Hmong.
@@ealeem8986 there's no teb chaws hmoob 🤔🙄
She put Hmong on the map
I’ll be honest i never heard of your ethnic group before but now I know, crazy history
I have enjoyed all his interviews. Give👏🏿this👏🏿man👏🏿a👏🏿raise!!!!!
Yeah right fair
He is fake
@@orangefield2308 shut up
I love that she just competed at the most intense level of competition in the world, and singing in front of people is too scary. She is a gem. Wishing nothing but the absolute best for her and her family
Suni's love for her dad is so pure. Every time someone asked her about her dad, she tears up.. Suni is pure human. Love this interview. Congratulations Suni!
5:11 Suni Lee is the modern Mulan! She brought honour to us all!!
Rite on !!!
I was just thinking of that
What about Amy Chow?
Scott Evans is such a great interviewer. Love the vibe he has with all the girls and really pulls out the best in them in my opinion. Love it ❤️ So much love to you Suni 🇺🇸
HE IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIS PERSONALITY! A BREATH OF FRESH AIR!
Suni is so sweet and very humble person. ❤ We, the Hmong people, all over the world are watching and so proud of you. Now, it's your time to shine!
She's the best! Deserved each one of those medals! I hope she's happy in college and come back in a couple of years for Paris
I look forward to watching Suni in the future she has a lot to give. I wish her the best.
I hope she comes back cuz she won’t be happy with the bars medal or beam final
Strong father and strong daughter!
She is ADORABLE!!! And such a ferocious athlete!!! Way to go Suni!!!
Suni Lee you are a superstar. Your a beautiful woman and an amazing example to so many young woman and little girls, stay amazing. You are a champion!
Scott Evans honors his position of interviewer!
He’s excellent in allowing Suni to open up and shine!! 🌟🌟
I love this so much. During my lifetime, the addition of the Hmong community in Minnesota has been such a wonderful contribution to our State and community. So proud of this champion.
Good interview.
A sweet girl , she had me in tears when she was cheering for simone and the other gymnast, she is A QUEEN ❤️ can’t wait to see her again and again... shoutout to the interviewer, he makes her feel so comfortable, i loved it ! 💓
He is the greatest. I like how he makes Suni comfortable. Great job.
Scott is the best in this job.
A delightful interview!
Suni..on Biles....."people forget that she's human."
Wow..amazing young lady!
Behind every great daughter is a truly amazing dad!
... unless they were raised by a single-mom or two moms or their grandparents. But Suni does seem to come from a special family.
Congrats Suni... You are the ONE
SUNI is amazing! Talent and stamina! 🇺🇲♥️
A real testimony to what a great Dad, present in his daughter's life, can be as a role model, giving his guidance and support. The family unit is so important!
Thank you for saying this! I never hear anyone talking about how important this is!
WE LOVE YOU SUNI!!!!!!!!!
she is so sweet and happy ..... she deserved all of it due to her hard work! Hoping to see her again win in the next Olympic.
YOU CAN'T HELP BUT LOVE SUNI......SHE IS SO INSPIRING AND IS TRULY A GREAT MODEL FOR YOUNG GIRLS TO LOOK UP TO. HER BEAUTY IS SO NATURAL!
Love how the interview seems just like a casual conversation between friends, he’s good.
Loooooove how humble she is. I mean, a Gold in All-Around means the world to every gymnast out there. She’s just the best!
She is so humble and seems incredibly down to earth. She’s inspiring so many and can’t wait to see what her future will hold. Her life is forever changed. Go Suni! 💕
She is so humble and special.
Her future kids will look back to this and said "what?! No way!! My mom is an Olympic gold medalist!! WOW!!".
I love her personality and she’s so incredibly talented. I really hope we get to see her in Paris in 2024 and she dominates there too. Can’t wait to see her collegiate career too.
This interview is so genuine. She is so humble. I was smiling/ laughing the whole interview with them.
These girls are so young to deal with the amount of pressure the public puts on them!
Wow this interview was awesome! I’ve fallen in love with suni lee this olympics. I know we all love Simone but wow suni lee has shown how amazing she is too these olympics. She really stepped up and you know what’s cool? When the focus was on her and how much support she’s gotten in this interview (she’s gained like a million followers😲) she brought up Simone and how she thinks the hate she’s getting is super unfair. That shows what amazing character she has. I just love her. I hope we see much more of her. Simone may be the GOAT but suni, you’re our Queen 🥰
She got a full set in the 2019 Worlds, and another full set in Tokyo! Very impressive young lady, I'm sure she'll have a very bright future, and I hope to see her in bar finals in Paris
I was laughing throughout the whole video. Kudos to the interviewer for making it comfortable for Suni.
THESE TWO ARE SO GREAT TO WATCH! HE IS A GREAT INTERVIEWER...THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN.....AND SUNI....IS NOT ONLY BEAUTIFUL BUT IS JUST A SHINING STAR FOR ALL TO SEE!
Amazing Suni Lee soooo proud of you best of the best congratulations 🎊 we all love you♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Omg this was hilarious 😂😂 suni is sooo cute and also give that interviewer a RAISE CUZ!!!!! He naturalt
Their laughter is so contagious! I love them❤
What a sweet girl. Love her personality 😍🥰
WHAT A HONOR TO DO WHAT YOU DO WITH EXCELLENT SKILL. GOAT LEE AND YOU WERE PURE D FUN.. ALL ABOUT LOVE😘😘😘
This interviewer is absolutely awesome. I've never seen such easygoing yet genuine conversations in my life. PROMOTE IMMEDIATELY!!!! Also - obviously congrats to Suni, what an absolutely incredible all around final overall and watching her come out on top put me in tears. Love it.
No matter how hard life is, never give up on what you believe in!
I love this interviewer so much I keep waiting for his interview with Suni! Did not disappoint!
So proud of you Ms Lee ❤️🤍💙💯so sweet and humble kisses to her Hmong community one 💕😘
So proud of Sunisa! Congratulations champion
What a sweetheart. I'm sorry that Simone was having an issue but I'm grateful she had what it takes to put her team and Country ahead of herself. She gave this young lady and the others a chance to win Gold instead of the Silver they were going for.
God bless you Suni Lee. When you be back to US your parents are so exiting.
Well done Suni Lee. You came, you conquered, you won and its so nice to see emotion, its not a weakness it means that while you won (for your Dad), you are human (not big headed ) just a Damn good athlete. From New Zealand please accept my best wishes! Stay safe.
“ I just think that was kinda sucky” awww she’s so cute 🥺🥺🥺
what a lovely girl from a sweet family too.
Suni lee is such a sweetheart ,and queen of freestyle gymnastics on beam ,and bar congratulations suni we so proud ,and happy for you thank scott for getting this amazing interview with suni its was so refreshing, and sweet to watch 🤗❤.

This has to be my most favorite interview with Suni! Congratulations Suni! You're so amazing, sweet, cool! So much swag! All smiles here watching this interview! Scot, bro, you have provided us with THE BEST interviews with the athletes during the Tokyo Olympics! I hope your employers know they have a gem in you! Keep it up! Will follow your career! Thank you!
We can't leave mama Lee out you the MVP too mamma Lee you made that sweet baby girl ❤️💪🥰
I still can’t stop praising Olympic gold medalist Sunisa Lee. And for many of us in the Hmong community, we can relate with her story on so many levels. Our parents and their parents came over to the US as refugees with literally nothing. They had to re-learn a new language and adapt to a new culture. They had no skills and could only work low paying odd jobs. They gave birth to us, the first generation of Hmong-Americans hoping that we could get a better life in a country of freedom and equal opportunity. We struggled also with the weight on our backs to create a prestige for our families and also learning at the same time that we didn’t belong. But today, we hope that changes and we’re so proud of Sunisa Lee because she represents the biggest achievement ever made by a Hmong person on the highest and largest stage ever. Her victory is more significant than most people even realize and it will inspire generations for many years to come!
she’s so sweet i’ve watched her since her senior debut hoping she’d make it all the way here AND LOOK AT HER!! so proud ♥️♥️
Now this is how a real interview looks like 👏👏👏👏👏
She's adorable.
She is a true American
0:35 Suni wasn't expecting an AA medal. Oh please! She's so cute & humble!
Hoping for a silver, next to Simone. But then everyone was.
BEST INTERVIEWER OMG
This interview was not like a typical boring, straight answers, and long. Takes a interviewer like this guy to make it great. This guy should get his own gold where he works, promotion time is what he deserves
Many congratulations to the ladies… you all are special to AMERICA
13:19 I loved this part so much, she's so down to heart and sweet
Absolutely love listening to this guys interview with people. So proud of Suni!!
Great interview and giving these athletes a space to feel relaxed.
That was such a wholesome interview. We liked that.
She is so pure hearted and sweet…. Love her to the moon and back!!! She is truly an angel!!!
This is the best interview I’ve ever seen. The two of them are magic!
Great interview on so many levels, for both participants! Deserving of Gold medal🥇
Awwwe bet he’s so so proud 🙏💕 She’s so humble! Not one ounce of an ego!
She sounds so precious and humble.
Seriously the cutest interview!! Love how joyful and real and genuine this was! ❤
She is such a sweet and charismatic young lady. She’s been though a lot and carries herself with such poise and confidence. She is such an inspiration to kids everywhere. God bless her 🙏🏽
WAY TO GO SUNNI LEE, you're amazing !!!!! CONGRATS !!!
Incredible and very inspirational person. Great job on achieving your dream at the highest level suni lee. You made us proud and big congrats sister!
I love this guy! His interviews are always so personable!
Your excellent training & dedication, giving up your childhood to train, pushing yourself, overcoming injuries & pain. Representing your country. That’s what being a metal-winning Olympian is about. We love you & wish you the best life, Suni. 💞💖💓💗💕
I love this guy interviewing her he seems so down to earth and patient good job and good job suni lee you stepped up when the team needed you most.
