Suni Lee on uneven bars

Suni Lee is the reigning Olympic bronze https://globalhhub.com/ medalist on uneven bars, having completed her Tokyo medal set after winning gold in the all-around and silver with the U.S. team. She’s added two more medals so far in Paris, a gold with the U.S. team and a bronze in the all-around. 

“We’re just happy to be here, to be honest,” Lee’s longtime coach Jess Graba said after the all-around final, referring to the two kidney ailments that nearly derailed her gymnastics career. “I try to remind her every time, but she wants to be on the podium, you know? Medals are nice and it’s fun, but being here is the biggest thing.” Here’s a look at Lee’s uneven bars routine in the all-around final.”We’re just happy to be here, to be honest,” Lee’s longtime coach Jess Graba said after the all-around final, referring to the two kidney ailments that nearly derailed her gymnastics career. “I try to remind her of that every time, but she wants to be on the podium, you know?

What happened with Suni Lee’s health, how it changed her mindset

Suni Lee went to Auburn right after  winning gold in Tokyo, wanting to have the college experience and to compete at the NCAA level. She announced in November 2022 that she’d leave Auburn at the end of her sophomore season. Before that season could even end, however, Lee developed a kidney disease that caused her to retain so much fluid there were days she couldn’t even put on her grips. She returned to Minneapolis and began working with doctors at the Mayo Clinic, who discovered she was suffering from a second kidney ailment.

Thus began a nearly yearlong nightmare https://tayyabirfan.com/ of tweaking medications and Lee feeling as if she had no control over her body. At one point, she said, she’d gained 40 pounds. There were days she could train and days she could only do certain things. Then there were days she couldn’t even get out of bed. By the end of February, Lee had returned to competition. It was an inauspicious start — she did only uneven bars and balance beam at Winter Cup and fell off both — but it let her know she could still do this.

How does gymnastics scoring work?

A gymnastics routine gets two scores: One for difficulty, also known as the D score or start value, and one for execution. Every gymnastics skill has a numerical value, and the D score is the sum total of the skills in a routine. The execution score, or E score, reflects how well the skills were done. A gymnast starts with a 10.0, and deductions for flaws and form errors are taken from there. Add the D and E scores together, and that’s your total for an apparatus. (Vault scores will always be higher because it’s a single skill.)
