"I look up to her a lot" - Suni Lee expresses admiration for Simone Biles ahead of Paris Olympics 2024
Suni Lee, top American gymnast and 2020 Olympic all-around champion, has expressed admiration for Simone Biles ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Lee, who was the first Asian-American to clinch the Olympic women’s all-around title, is hoping to partner with Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles to emerge victorious at the 2024 Olympic event.
In an interview she did with KPRC 2 at the Team USA Media Summit, Suni Lee said she is aiming for gold once more and acknowledges that teamwork is important for success. She said:
“I think it’s really important. I’m really close to Jordan, And I admire Simone much. Everything that she’s been through. She’s such a great example and she continues to shine and every time we see her she gets better and better. Simone is someone who continuously inspires me and I look up to her a lot just because she just continues to get better and better every single time that we see her and all of the things that she’s gone through are truly inspiring.”
Suni Lee also talked about the way they support each other while contesting for Team USA. She stated:
“We compete against each other but we are all close and want what’s best for each other. But when we’re at the Olympics it’s like a job. We all support each other and are competing for Team USA.”
