The 2020 Tokyo Olympics all-around gold medalist and uneven bars bronze medalist Suni Lee produced a superb performance yet again in the latter apparatus during the Women's Gymnastics Team all-around finals. This came during the second rotation of the event in the Bercy Arena.
Even though Lee faltered a little in the middle of her routine, she picked herself up quite strongly and earned a superb 14.566 points in the apparatus. Lee's score was the highest for the United States women's gymnastics team on the uneven bars apparatus in the finals.

This was Lee's first rotation in the all-important finals as she didn't perform on the vault. Her teammates Simone Biles, Jade Carey, and Jordan Chiles took the onus on the apparatus.
In the uneven bars apparatus, Chiles went first for Team USA, scoring 14.366 points, and Biles followed by adding 14.400 points to the tally. After the uneven bars apparatus, Team USA led the scoring charts with a staggering 87.72 points with Italy behind in the second position.
