‘Recovered’ Suni Lee Stuns Millions of Followers With Her ‘Meet Day’ Rituals Ahead of Paris Olympics 2024

Suni Lee‘s 2024 has been a mixed ride so far. Lee was decommissioned from partaking in the national team responsibilities for a year due to a kidney injury, and understandably her return has been wobbly. And yet, the 2020 Olympics All-Around gold medalist has a definite checklist before her matches that has become a habit and difficult to deviate from. While the 2024 Winter Cup didn’t turn out to be the kind of kickstart to her Olympics dreams, Lee seems to be taking some time off to focus on herself first.

Suni Lee’s emphatic return hopes were shattered after she took a major fall while performing her signature move in Kentucky. However, the Auburn Tigers star is defiant about letting the setback engulf her and is well on her way to recovering from the incident.

Suni Lee’s to-do list before bringing out her A-game

In her recent Instagram post, Suni Lee shared the pre-meet training rituals that help her compose herself before stepping onto the mat. With Lee looking to have fully recovered after the brutal fall and her long-standing kidney problems, the need to stay on top of her game has become ever more important. “My meet day rituals with Marriott Bonvoy“, highlights Lee in the accompanying video clip before giving her fans a run-through of the things she needs to ensure before executing her responsibilities with grace and poise. Suni can be seen checking in at the W in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as her chosen playground.

“This is amazing“, Lee can’t help but gush as she enters through the doors into the lavish suite. She admires the luxurious couch as the perfect spot to do her pre-meet journaling where she takes notes of the tasks ahead and decodes the competition’s aces. “I do love a pre-meet nap“, writes Lee in her post caption and she had to take a moment to highlight just what she loves about hotel beds (They’re so comfortable). The third aspect of her pre-meet ritual entails spending a considerable amount of time in the gym to make sure her shape is in the best possible form.

Suni Lee’s off-court presence is just as enthralling and she can’t leave her hotel without making sure her eye and hair makeup are on-spot every time. “I love hotel bathrooms“, mentions Lee as she goes on to give a glimpse of her looks for the night. Considering how Suni is eyeing big things, it’s not surprising to understand that her rituals have become an integral part of her skills on the mat.

Suni’s ambitions look larger than life

While the recently concluded Winter Cup didn’t yield the desired results, Lee’s aspirations are bigger than that. Lee was recently seen coming up with her own version of the Jaeger move and is now rallying to get the new move named after herself. The USA Gymnastics has already assigned an “H” difficulty to the move and it awaits further ratification from the international apex body. As Lee seeks to go down in the history books, fans hope her pre-meet activities propel her to the coveted status that she’s aiming for.
