Congratulations to Suni Lee! No thanks to Tim Walz.

Sunisa (Suni) Lee of St. Paul, Minnesota, won the women’s gymnastics all-around gold medal! It is great news for Minnesota. Congratulations to her!

In response, Governor Tim Walz declared Friday July 30 Sunisa Lee Day in Minnesota. As he should have. However, this is ironic in that his order closed her gym where she trained, and therefore she was unable to train for much of the 18 months leading up to the Olympics. She overcame that to win.
