After the horrifying debilitating kidney disease, the 2020 Olympic bronze medalist has been facing, Suni Lee could not make it to the Team USA April Camp, unfortunately. Unable to etch her name in a list of 18 artistic gymnasts who have qualified for the National Training Camp in April, her chances to make up to the Olympic Trials, for the ultimate selection, stay on stand-by mode.

With only a limited number of opportunities left in her hand, Suni Lee still progresses on her path to the Paris Olympics 2024. The US Championships which would encompass the American Classic event, is one of those valuable opportunities that could expand the likeliness of her Olympic Trial qualifications.

Suni Lee rekindles her journey to the Paris Olympics

A post on Reddit, captioned as ‘Suni’s path to Paris’ read, “Now that she’s not going to this week’s camp, what is Suni’s path to Paris? She has to compete internationally to qualify for Trials, right? What’s left?” Highlighting her dicey career position in Olympic gymnastics this year, the 2020 Olympic all-around champion has minimal chances left in her bucket.

It’s her US Championship – Classic qualification that will render her to the Trials and then later to the grandiose Olympic Games. Presently focused on the uneven bars and the balance beam only, Suni Lee’s stance to secure her Olympic berth, is yet to be witnessed by her fans.

Fans speculate chances at the Olympic Trials

After the unfortunate news of Suni Lee not going to the USA April Camp, her chances of qualifying for the Olympic Trials have lessened quite much. Fans therefore speculated her next move that might provide her an opportunity to secure her Olympic berth. An avid gymnastics enthusiast commented, “She needs to get a national qualifying score at either the American Classic or the US Classic. Assuming she does that she competes at US Championships. If she does well there she gets invited to US Olympic trials. That’s her path.“

Knowing of the procedure to qualify for the Olympic Trials, another one from the online audience stated, “She doesn’t have to compete internationally. She has to qualify for championships or have an accepted petition. The petition guidelines are strict though.“ Reasoning the petition procedure, fans responded, “You can petition to either Classic, but you have to provide proof of injury/illness to petition for championships.“ and “There are ways to petition for both championships and trials, but guidelines are different.” A fan said, “.. It makes sense to abandon that path and focus on the Olympics..“, knowing that Suni Lee wanted to etch her name to the Baku.
