The Amazing Sunisa Lee
By Elle Luttchens
Sunisa Lee (Suni) is an Olympian gymnast. She has already been to the Olympics once. I’m assuming she’ll be in the Olympics again, as she was only 19 when she was in the last Olympic games. Suni lived in St. Paul, Minnesota when she was younger, but now she is in Georgia for college. Now that Simone Biles is done competing in the Olympics, Suni might be best United States gymnast!
Suni was born on March 9, 2003. She has 3 half siblings, Evionn, Lucky, and Noah. At the age of 6, Suni started gymnastics at the Midwest Gymnastics Center. The following year, Suni began competing and won the all around at a state meet…which was only the second meet of her career! At the age of 8, she moved up 3 levels. She qualified for the elite at age 11!
In August, 2019, just days before Suni competed in her first senior Championship, her father fell off of a ladder and was left half paralyzed. This was quite devastating to the family.
In 2020, Suni was in the Olympics. She became a Gold Medalist! I believe that Suni is an amazing influence on all future gymnasts. She kept trying even when bad things happened in her family. I think this should inspire all future gymnasts to never give up!
