Gold medal-winning Olympic gymnast Sunisa Lee didn’t have to bring a balance beam, uneven bars, or floor routine to crash the internet this week. She just had to post two incidental photos, a grin, and a minimalistic caption that read: “cheesin.”
The 22-year-old gymnast, a first at the 2020 Olympics by becoming the Hmong American to ever win Olympic gold, posted a pair of photos on X (formerly Twitter). Standing outdoors in front of a brick building, clad in a black tank top and blue jeans, Lee smiled sweetly at fans, putting timelines into a tizzy at the same time. The post garnered over 3 million views within hours and a landslide of comments.
And let’s just say… the reactions were anything but discreet.
The Thirst Olympics Begin
A fan at once became lyrical, proclaiming:
“Women are God’s greatest creation man.”
Some chose to shoot their shot either in a loving way, a delusional way, or a comedic way.
A user inquired,
“Do we have a fw guys with a debilitating sports betting affliction and an empty bank account?“
Another countered with the female perspective:
“Do we treat fw girls with soc anxiety and dep resion?”
It was like watching a Twitter dating show unfold in real time.
From Pickup Lines to Total Chaos
All responses aren’t funny. A few were pure Hallmark moments:
“Invest your love in me and I’ll give you the world soon.”
Others aimed directly for the flirting effect:
“Was your birthday yesterday since you are a 10/10.”
And then there were just the fans that spiralled:
“I have to make so many more dollars.”
That is right, Sunisa Lee’s smile apparently led certain users to reconsider their budgets. Motivation is a quirky and mysterious force.
The Internet’s Wildest Takes
No viral photo post is ever complete without a fully unhinged response, and the comments section on Lee did not disappoint. Boldly, a fan tweeted:
“Just know that her farts smell like rose petals.”
Another went gladiator-level devoted, promising:
“I will speak on your behalf on the front lines.”
Sunisa posts a single soft-smile selfie, and the timeline descends into lunacy, humor, and a public group therapy session.
