Sunis Lee , a young talented American Gymnist also known as Suni , has expressed how grateful she is to fellow Gymnist Simone Biles for the support she showed her during her gymnastics routine.
Suni Lee , the 2020 Olympic all-round champion said in a conversation right after Sunday’s US Gymnastics Championship that Simone Biles helped her through a difficult situation during their championship.
During Suni Lee’s open vault routine , she has planned to perform a double twist. But in her performance , she just did a one and half twist in contrast to the two twists she had planned. She felt bad and commented , she felt she didn’t know where she was.
“I tried to do a double , but I didn’t know where I was , but I knew where I was , if that makes sense. So I just put it to my butt. It’s Ok”. At that moment , she felt she couldn’t get up to the high board again. So , she went to the tunnel next to the competition floor as she was feeling down but in actuality she wanted someone to come comfort her. At that moment , Simone came to her and comforted her. She told her , she understood her emotional state at the moment as she also felt the same in Tokyo . So she should just go hard and do her best as a gymnist and she will be there to cheer her on as she does her routines.
It was the first time Suni Lee was doing all four exercises , so it was normal for her to feel nervous. Simone later accompanies her to do her routine as she finishes with a high score.
