You'll want to turn up the sound for this one! There are a few seconds in the beginning of this video of sheer silence and anticipation, and then the moment Sunisa Lee [6]'s family sees the 18-year-old win gold [7], there's a glorious explosion of pure joy. Cheering, whistling, clapping, jumping up and down, hugging, and wiping away tears — we can't help but join in on the excitement! It's a proud moment for Suni, her family, the women's gymnasts team, and for Team USA! Watch the heartwarming clip above.
