<\/p>\nA couple of stylish mirror selfies from Olympic gymnastics champion Suni Lee started a series of lighthearted, albeit slightly pointed, online banter and chatter after Alysa Liu\u2019s historic triumph at the 2026 Milano Cortina Games.<\/p>\n
At 20 years old, Liu performed a flawless free skate to Donna Summer\u2019s music and bagged the gold medal in the ladies\u2019 figure skating event, becoming the first American woman to claim the Olympic title since 2006.<\/p>\n
Later that day, Lee, the 2020 Olympic all-around champion in gymnastics, posted mirror selfies on Instagram wearing a Team USA jacket. This led to a series of lighthearted, albeit slightly pointed, chatter and banter on social media about a possible shift in the spotlight from Liu to Lee, two of Team USA\u2019s most popular Asian American female stars.<\/p>\n
Some of the comments on Instagram were lighthearted and playful, with some saying that Liu had \u201csnatched\u201d Lee\u2019s title of the \u201cit girl\u201d on the internet.<\/p>\n
One of the comments read: \u201cShe\u2019s tryna bounce back after getting her chain snatched lmao<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\ufffd\ufffd<\/p>\n
.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another comment read: \u201cShe saw Alysa Liu hype and put on a USA jacket, women hate seeing other women get more attention than them lol.\u201d<\/p>\n
A third comment read: \u201cShe realized her status as the Asian-American athlete it girl is fading lol.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, some fans defended Lee, saying there was no need for a rivalry between the two female stars, since Liu had previously expressed admiration for Lee and had posted clips and photos of the two having fun together.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s room for both,\u201d said a fan, adding that the chatter was \u201cmanufactured.\u201d<\/p>\n
