During the 2024 Paris Olympics, Suni Lee of the USA ended up winning three medals one of which was gold. She won the gold medal in the team final along with Simone Biles, Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles. While she also won two bronze medals. Her performance was praised and even caught the attention of Caitlin Clark of Indian Fever.

Suni Lee took her Instagram account to highlight her performance in the Paris 2024 Olympics. She also has five photos of Suni Lee and Team USA along with the caption, "2x Olympian, 6x Olympic medalist," and emojis of hearts. Caitlin Clark commented on her post, 'fireeeee'.

On the team's final event, Suni Lee and Team USA scored 171.296 which was the highest score compared to other countries who participated. During the event, Suni Lee was in the last three rotations with the team in which she didn’t have a performance. In the individual all-around and uneven bars finals, Suni Lee scored 56.464 and 14.800 each.

This score helped her to get her into the third position as she won bronze and added two medals to her collection. If the 21-year-old places in the top three in the balance beam final on Monday, she would equal Shannon Miller for the second-most Olympic medals by an American gymnast, behind close friend Simone Biles.

Prior to this, she wasn't sure she'd ever make it back to this stage. During Nemour's gold medal-winning set, which is a stunning blend of artistic talent and technical accuracy, Lee stood and applauded. Perhaps it's because Lee understands more than most people how much work goes into making something really difficult seem remarkably simple.

Caitlin Clark not in USA Women's team for Paris Olympics

Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark's name has been out of Team USA's Women’s basketball squad for the Paris Olympics 2024. Her fans still regard her best player in the WNBA and have continued to support her even though she is missing out in the team. Caitlin Clark is playing her rookie season after Indiana Fever picked her as the No.1 draft. Since then, she has become the first rookie to score a triple-double and broke many records. Due to her performance, the Indiana Fever are on the verge of making it to the playoff spot in the WNBA. The USA Women’s basketball team is the favourite to win a gold medal in the Olympics 2024.
