The Paris Summer Olympics have been nothing short of spectacular, with athletes from all over the world showcasing their incredible talents and determination. Among them, Suni Lee of Team USA has been a standout, wowing audiences with her impressive performances and inspiring story.
On Sunday, Lee once again proved her mettle as she delivered a stunning uneven bars routine, hoping to secure another medal for her team. This came after she had already picked up three medals in the days prior, including a team gold alongside the legendary Simone Biles.
But Lee’s journey to the Olympics has not been an easy one. For the past 15 months, she has been battling multiple kidney diseases, making her achievements all the more remarkable. Despite the challenges she has faced, Lee has shown incredible resilience and determination, proving that anything is possible with hard work and dedication.
If you missed Lee’s incredible performance on Sunday, don’t worry – you can catch it again in primetime on NBC 5 starting at 6 p.m. CT. And while this may not be the last chance to see Lee and her teammates in action, the opportunities are certainly numbered.
In fact, there are only two competitions left for the women’s gymnastics team, and they are bound to be nail-biters. The first is the balance beam final on August 5th, where both Biles and Lee will once again find themselves competing against each other. Throughout the 2024 season, these two have been trading off the highest scoring beam routines, making this competition one to watch. Biles has already won bronze in this event in both 2016 and 2020, while Lee is yet to medal in an Olympic balance beam final. The competition begins at 5:36 a.m. CT, with streaming available on E! at 4:45 a.m. CT and on NBC 5 at 8:30 a.m.
The second and final event for the women’s gymnastics team is the floor exercise final, also on August 5th. Biles and Jordan Chiles have both qualified for this event, and it promises to be a thrilling end to the competition. Biles, who won gold in the floor exercise final at the 2016 Games, had to pull out of the 2020 final due to an injury. This opened the door for Jade Carey to take home the gold, but unfortunately, Carey missed out on qualifying for this year’s final after a fall in the qualifiers. However, Chiles has stepped up to the challenge, securing the second spot in the final with her Beyonce-themed floor routine, which has been a crowd favorite throughout the Games. Don’t miss the floor exercise final at 7:20 a.m. CT, with streaming available on E! at 4:45 a.m. CT and on NBC 5 at 8:30 a.m.
As we eagerly await these final two competitions, let’s take a moment to appreciate the incredible achievements of Suni Lee and the rest of Team USA. Their dedication, hard work, and resilience have been an inspiration to us all, and they have truly embodied the Olympic spirit.
In conclusion, the Paris Summer Olympics have been a thrilling and unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait to see what the final two competitions have in store. So mark your calendars and tune in to NBC 5 at 6 p.m. CT to catch Suni Lee and her teammates in action once again. Let’s cheer them on and show our support for these incredible athletes who have made us proud to be Americans. Go Team USA!
