Suni Lee is back in the game in 2024, her determination blazing brighter than ever. This time, she’s no longer content with merely chasing Olympic glory; she’s set her sights on carving her name in gymnastics. Earlier this year, she revealed her latest masterpiece, ‘The Lee,” on the uneven bars, aptly dubbed ‘the full-twisting layout Jaeger.

Eager to debut her creation on an international stage, Lee aimed to showcase it early in the season to “get it out of the way”  before the Paris Olympics preparations. However, her initial attempt fell short of expectations. Yet, as she sets out on her journey to redemption, ‘The Lee’ is not the sole focus for Suni Lee in this Olympic year as she primes herself.

Suni Lee shares her Plan of Action for the Olympic year

In an interview with WSAZ-TV, the first Hmong-American Olympian, Suni Lee, opened up about juggling training to qualify for the Olympics, her social life, and brand partnerships. Suni was asked by host Susan Nicholas about how her training for the upcoming Olympic trials and the pinnacle Paris Olympics was going. Sunisa opened up, sharing that “Training is going really well.”

Reflecting on her performance at the Winter Cup just a month prior, she shared the lessons learned and her approach looking forward, stating, “Now we’re just trying to build up from that, stay more consistent, add more skills in my routine, and just build up the difficulty because I think if I’m able to get my difficulty and stamina up, I think the rest of the year will be really well.” As we reflect on these words, let us explore why her attempt at naming ‘The Lee’ hasn’t materialized so far and when another opportunity can present itself.
