While the 2020 Olympic all-around champion and uneven bars bronze medalist, Suni Lee was spotted seeing one of the latest NBA matches lately, her aim to find new goals and getting stronger in her own game does not take a step back. Opening up on the challenges the Olympic Gold Medalist has recently faced, she made a statement to olympics.com about how good she felt to be finally back on the right track.
Contesting for both the US Classics and the 2024 Core Hydration Classic in Hartford in the coming time, Suni Lee is in similar lines with her Olympic senior in gymnastics, Simone Biles. While Simone Biles also has shown her inclination towards the NBA sport lately when she attended the Warriors’ victorious season, she too has had her name on the list of the qualifying gymnasts for the anticipated two Classic events.

The Instagram stories of Suni Lee displayed her excitement as she attended the Hawks Vs Wolves NBA game recently. The game that ultimately triumphed the Minnesota Timberwolves by 3 points, scoring a 109 against the Atlanta Hawks, gathered the American artistic gymnast’s attention as she sought the NBA game with huge interest.
While her interest matches that of Simone Biles in terms of her sport of gymnastics and the NBA, both star gymnasts have successfully registered to compete at the 2024 Core Hydration Classic in Hartford, Connecticut on April 12, 2024. Hoping for another line of events namely, the US Classics, on their way after the Core Classics on May 17-18, to the Paris Olympics 2024, the two athletes dream of clinching a world title in the much-awaited grandiose Summer Games.
The Paris Olympic ride for the two Olympians
After adjusting to the kidney-related health concerns in the past 12 months, the 2020 Tokyo gold medalist Suni Lee has set her sights the Olympic medal as the Paris Games are a few months away. “I’ve been back in the gym every single day, eight hours a day, and it’s been going pretty well. I’m in remission right now, so I’ve just been getting it under control and starting to work up into routines and getting ready for the season”, the gymnast told Olympics.com in an exclusive interview after debuting at the Winter Cup on February 24, in Louisville, Kentucky.
Simone Biles on the other hand, after debuting her 2024 Olympic season in May’s Classics will look at the Paris Olympics. Though her seven Olympic gymnastics medals are ninth-most of all time, the American gymnast chose to harbor neutral feelings as she also expressed the importance of her Paris campaign. “If I don’t make it to Paris, it won’t absolutely crush me,” she had shared earlier.
