One of the great Olympic moments. Not only for Puig as the underdog but Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[@RickeGnool]

This was maybe the highlight of the Olympics for me. They could make a movie about her fairytale run to the gold medal.

[@justincartwright252]

Totally agree. And with all the good players she beat along the way. It was truly a magical run, and I feel like her run really captured the spirit of the Olympics. Performing at your highest level on the biggest stage in international sporting competition.

nah better make a movie about her outrageous booty

Monica embodied the Olympic spirit during this tournament. With each match, she just became more inspired and played better and better. It was so fun to watch and so great for Puerto Rico to have her as their first gold medalist. This and Nadal winning the doubles was my favorite moment from these Olympics.

[@cambed71]

This has got to be the most shocking result in recently history for women's tennis, considering how Puig came from nowhere to win and has kind of simply vanished since this. Incredible. What an achievement though. I'm sure she will come by and shock us all again

Wouldn't it be funny if she wins again in Tokyo? I'm going there next year, so omg that would be the best thing ever.

As a German, i have to respect Monicas Talent. Nobody in Germany thought that a nobody from Puerto Rico would beat Angelique, who won the Australian Open and got to the Final of Wimbledon that year. It just goes to show that anybody can beat anyone on certain days.That's the wonderful thing about Sports in general.
