She proved her skills in uneven bars with a score of 15.300 after choosing a routine with the highest degree of difficulty.

By the late ‘70s and ‘80s, around 90 percent of the refugee population had resettled in the US, where there are now 18 Hmong clans. the largest residing in Minneapolis-St. Paul where Sunisa is from.
