“A year full of growth, challenges and opportunities”: Suni Lee recaps on a fantastic year in collegiate gymnastics

Suni Lee

Suni Lee has been having quite the fantastic year at Collegiate level championships. After winning the women’s individual all-around title at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Lee has found her place at Auburn University.

Moving to Auburn, she is responsible for carrying the Tigers through to the NCAA Finals. Lee came second in the individual all-around event, finishing with a score of 39.6750. She led the team into the NCAA championships after nearly four years- as they last qualified in 2016. Consequently, Lee has been named the WCGA Regional Gymnast of the Year (Region 4), the Women’s College Gymnastics Association announced Thursday.

Lee has also mentioned strong plans to compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Lee will have to make a decisive decision soon, since the training plan for collegiate gymnastics and international gymnastics is very different. “She has to make a decision whether she trains for 2024 or not. She wants to train. She doesn’t want to get caught off guard. And she doesn’t want to commit herself, because she’s pretty dang busy right now.”
