"Growing up, I didn’t see many girls who looked like me in spaces like this. To now be here as an athlete, as someone who’s worked so hard to achieve her dreams, it feels powerful. I want young girls to know they don’t have to fit into just one box. You can chase Olympic gold and still own your femininity."

The Olympic champion gymnast further added,

"Honestly, I didn’t have much time to prepare for this, and that was probably for the best. It allowed me to show up here exactly as I am. Just me, not trying to be something I’m not."

Suni Lee has been on a long break since her last appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The 22-year-old gymnast won a gold medal in the women's team all-around event, as well as two individual bronze medals in the women's individual all-around and the women's uneven bars event, respectively.
