Suni Lee dominated the women’s gymnastics all-around on Thursday, winning the U.S. a gold medal for the fifth Olympics Games in a row. Lee and Jade Carey handily carried the torch after teammate Simone Biles dropped out of the women’s gymnastics all-around earlier this week, placing first and eighth overall.
Suni Lee's stunning gold medal performance has caught the attention of the world, but there was something else about her routine that also stunned viewers: her nails.
Lee completed her extraordinarily complicated routine in the Tokyo Olympics with what appeared to be long acrylic nails topped with Olympic rings on them - and the internet couldn't get enough of them.

Twitter praised the athlete not only for her stunning achievement as a gold medalist, but for doing it with her nails intact.
Lee came out on top in the women's gymnastics all-around final in the Tokyo Olympics with a 14.600 on vault, a 15.300 on uneven bars, a 13.833 on beam and a 13.700 on floor. Lee led all competitors with a 57.433 overall and won her first-ever gold medal.
Her victory secures an American winning streak for yet another Olympics, marking the fifth straight Olympic Games an American woman has been crowned queen of the all-around.
