last time i felt this kind of joy was when morgi won worlds 🥺 what a good quad to be asian american, beginning with morgi and ending with suni feels so right

[gelyasgoldmedal]

I cried both times 😭❤️ I don’t think I truly comprehended how much podium representation meant to me until I saw them both with their medals. And Morgi’s activism and Suni’s victory feel like they carry a special significance after this past year, especially with #stopasianhate

Message from Asics Japan to Kohei Uchimura

Dear King,

You have said with much conviction: “I have never compromised anything these past five years.” This shows how much you have trained.

To attain your objectives you had to courage to even throw away your pride. You unconditionally believe in the power of sports.

Not only the results count. We believe it’s this spirit and how we saw you making these challenges that make you the King of Gymnastics.

You went to four Olympics and won six World Championships consecutively. The path you have pioneered will never disappear.

Please keep moving forward with your pride.

UCLA teammates Emma Andres, Pauline Tratz, Sekai Wright, Margzetta Frazier, Chae Campbell and Nia Dennis end their floor routines with a raised fist at their very first Black Excellence Meet.  The sleeve of their leotard, which was made especially for the meet, shows the clenched fist symbol that represents the Black Lives Matter movement.
