Can you imagine that there used to be a time when Sunisa Lee’s aunt had to go out of her way to gather a watching party to see her niece perform in the Tokyo Olympics? Well, if you think we are exaggerating, then no, back in 2021, Malya Chang hosted a special #TeamSuni  viewing party for folks to watch her win the gold back in Maplewood. Yet, now, four years later, on Suni’s 22nd birthday, that humble #TeamSuni has grown into a fan movement of its own. But other than the fans someone special also joined the celebrations this year.
