Our Tokyo Trail series looks at key issues and athletes in the run-up to the 2020 Olympics, which are scheduled for late July. This is the second in a two-part feature on Asian-American gymnasts who made headlines in the past week.
When Asian-American gymnast Sunisa Lee clinched her spot on the US women s gymnastics team last weekend, members of the Hmong ethnic minority rejoiced in her historic achievement.
The 18-year-old will become the first member of the community - which has its roots in Laos and China, and numbered about 327,000 in 2019, according to Pew Research Centre data - to represent the US at the Olympic Games. Before Lee, two other Asian-American gymnasts, Amy Chow and Katelyn Ohashi, represented the US at the Olympics.
