Suni Lee flexed her Olympic medals after earning one gold and two bronze medals at the 2024 Paris Games. Lee was the all-around champion, team silver medalist, and uneven bars bronze winner at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The 21-year-old lifted the all-around champion's trophy at her maiden Games appearance in Tokyo, earning a combined score of 57.433. Lee's achievement made her only the sixth US woman and the first gymnast of Asian descent to take the title. The Minnesota native helped her team win silver after her compatriot Simone Biles withdrew due to 'twisties'. She also won bronze in the uneven bars.

Having been diagnosed with a rare kidney disease in 2023, Suni Lee ended her collegiate (Auburn University) career early and missed several elite competitions, including the 2023 Worlds. However, she was back for the Olympic run in Paris and contributed scores to Team USA's gold-winning performance.

She also finished with bronze in the all-around and uneven bars competition. Soon after success, Lee took to her TikTok handle to flex her medals, wearing a Team USA sweatshirt from Nike.

"Another one, thank you!" she lip-synced to an audio, showing off six of her medals one by one.

Her caption read:

"added to the collection"

Despite her strong performances, Lee faced a big blow in the balance beam at the Paris Games. She fell from the equipment and could only earn a below-par 13.100. When asked about her setback, the 21-year-old blamed the silence in the arena for her failed podium.

"It was really silent when you get up there. I don't like that just because it gives me too much time to think and I can hear everything. Beam final is always the most stressful. But usually, we have like music or background noise, whatever that may be," she said afterwards (via E News).

Suni Lee debuted at the 2024 New York Fashion Week and the US Open

The six-time Olympic medalist also attended the 2024 US Open, having watched Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula's final in person. Several other athletes including, Gabby Thomas, Noah Lyles, Simone Biles, Junelle Bromfield, Mikaela Shiffrin, and Jordan Chiles were also snapped at NYFW and US Open over the weekend.
