Paris Olympics 2024: Struggling With Health Concerns, Suni Lee Applauded by Internet Over Training Video

Last year, reigning Olympics all-around champion, Sunisa ‘Suni’ Lee wasn’t sure of her gymnastics future. The dearth of the situation went so deep that the 20-year-old artistic gymnast decided to pull out from her Auburn collegiate gymnastics stint. The reason that forced her to make such exhaustive decisions was her kidney contagion. To explain the situation, Suni Lee claimed, “I haven’t had a really bad day in a while.” Reportedly, at that moment, the American gymnast was far away from her schedule. Eventually, that culminated in her weight gain.

In the wake of those health concerns, nobody could expect the return of the American gymnastics team member who once reigned on the beams and bars. But, riding on motivation, Suni Lee is paving her Olympic steps once again. Her fans wouldn’t have asked for better news than that. 

Suni Lee uncaps the celebration moment 

A few days ago, Suni Lee posted a whirligig of her practice drills on IG. That video sparkled the all-around champion trying moves and flips, unmatched by anyone. That post powered the discussion of the 2019 world championship medalist’s Paris Olympics chances.

But soon, another incident fermented that discussion into moving straight ahead. It was the US national training camp in Texas.

Lee continued there with her usual moves on the uneven bars. On that notion, the USA Gymnastics’ IG post fuelled the discussion of Suni’s return to the mat. The caption of that post went, “from Athens to Tokyo”.

In the frame, a visibly happy Suni Lee appeared hugging Carly Patterson, the 2004 Olympic all-around champion. To extend her joy, soon the fans appeared in the post with their gestures for their defending champion. 

Following this, Lee’s fandom flocked to the comment section to express their regards for the gymnast’s incredible spree. On that trot, a fan penned, “The goat suni”. 

The Queen of Beam is back 

Eventually, in the comment box, Carly Patterson also left her gesture for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics champion with the love signs. After that, the curve of the fan love received a steep rise. On Suni Lee’s day, Carly Patterson received her due praise as well.

The IG handle, jorgear_12 added his respect for the legends in his comment, “Queens of beam”. In that camp, Carly appeared to be the mentor of the gymnastics team that included Suni Lee and Simone Biles together. The sole interest of the camp was to check the gymnasts’ prowess before the Paris Olympics 2024 trial begins.

Suni Lee continued there with her balance and beam routines. In both those drills, the Saint Paul native remained unrivaled. Eventually, that fitted quite unfamiliarly for an athlete who still has the scare of a kidney ailment. So fortifying that, IG handle, misssssdana added the motivational, “Yasssssss Suni!”

Taking Suni Lee’s return chance in the solidifying note, another IG handle, lombardmacy penned, “So good to see Suni back”. Now, after a discontinued NCAA schedule and missed world championships, Suni Lee is still up for another day in her Olympic dream. Her fans would expect that to be continued to the Paris Olympics 2024 occasion.
