Recently, on 26th October, during Halloween, Suni Lee shared an Instagram story that really caught everyone’s attention. She featured a fan who was dressed just like her, standing next to a guy who looked a lot like her fellow Olympian, Stephen Nedoroscik. The girl was rocking a stunning red jewel-studded leotard that totally captured Suni’s Olympic vibe.
Meanwhile, the guy was giving off serious Stephen energy, dressed in gymnastics wear and sporting Olympic medals around his neck. Suni was so surprised by how much they resembled her and Stephen because of the getup! She couldn’t help but express her excitement in the caption, saying, “OMG stoppp this is too good.”
By the way, the fan who dressed as Suni goes by the name Gloria. It’s pretty cool to see how both Suni and Stephen are living legends who made their mark in Paris, inspiring so many who want to follow in their footsteps. One of the best parts of the 2024 Paris Olympics was the camaraderie among the gymnastic competitors.
Lee expresses admiration for her fellow gymnasts
Suni Lee and her teammates not only cheered each other on but also applauded their international competitors, even those who outperformed them. So, when “Dancing With the Stars” announced that Nedoroscik would join Season 33, marking his exit from the “Gold Over America Tour,” Lee’s excited reaction was no surprise. She commented on the show’s Instagram post with a heartfelt, “OMG STEPHENNNN!” It shows the excitement and support they have for one another.
While Nedoroscik’s departure was felt on the tour, Lee, who competed on “DWTS” in Season 30, knows this is an amazing opportunity. She reflected on her own experience, where she placed fifth but came away with newfound confidence, saying, “I think I’m just gaining so much self-confidence in myself, allowing myself to have fun.” After winning the individual all-around gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and taking home gold with Team USA, plus a bronze in both the all-around and uneven bars in Paris, Lee’s supportive attitude toward her fellow competitors remains inspiring.
Even when the pressure was on, she expressed admiration for everyone’s performances, saying, “I’m not even going to miss these routines because they’re so good. So I just wanted to see, and I was just so happy because all the girls deserve it.” It’s clear that the bonds formed during these competitions go far beyond the mat, creating a legacy of support and inspiration for the next generation.
