When it comes to gymnastics, some of the prominent names heard by enthusiasts are Simone Biles, Jordan Chiles, and Leanne Wong. Among these, one name shines bright on and off the gymnastics mat. Interestingly, when Leanne is not captivating fans at Stephen C O’Connell Center, she can be seen heat pressing her t-shirts and serving at Leanne Wong Bowtique.
As it is 2024, Wong is leading her team to their sixth Southeastern Conference regular season title while vying for an Olympic spot. However, this is not the only reason for building headlines across the internet.

Leanne Wong’s autobiography
A couple of weeks before, Leanne Wong took it to her official Instagram account and announced her memoir, “My Journey, Trust the Process.” Alongside a couple of pictures of her autobiography, she penned, “Your favourite bow CEO is now an author! World champion, Olympic alternate, and NCAA star Leanne Wong announced this week that her new book.“
At the time of releasing her autobiography, the 2023 World Champion knew little about the aftermath of the release. In an exclusive interview with Inside gymnastics.com, she said, “I really didn’t know when I wanted to release it. Actually, the day before I had this podcast, where I announced it, I was working on the glossary of some terms to include because we had just been making little changes here and there.“
However, something incredible happened as Leanne’s spectators loved how she wrote about her journey and her path to achieving the highest level of gymnastics. The major appraisal of her words came as she included relevant information about gymnastics so that people could also get introduced to the sport.
Wong added, “I do think people will be surprised to learn a lot of things. There are just lots of details that you wouldn’t normally know just about a person, I guess. It’s amazing how much we could write from when I was born to 2021 before college. So, we put an end to it because there’s already over 300 pages!” Even though Wong has released her first autobiography, she is not satisfied yet.
A potential chapter in the upcoming book
Wong has been looked upon by numerous youth aspiring to come up on the grand stage of gymnastics. Despite having similar dreams in their eyes, these aspiring athletes are not able to pursue their dreams due to a lack of knowledge. Therefore, Wong has a plan to help these aspiring gymnasts while motivating them through her career achievements.

In the same interview session, Wong dropped an update about her future plans. She said, “We’re hoping to write another one about my college experience and how I’m trying to balance both Elite gymnastics and college gymnastics.“ Interestingly, the book is most likely to feature a long list of accolades, including her bronze all-around performance at the US Championships and a gold at the World Championships.
Meanwhile, Wong will also be working harder to achieve her first Olympic medal as well. Now the question is: Will Wong be able to include her journey to the Olympics in her upcoming book?
