American Suni Lee adds bronze medal on uneven bars to all-around title

Lee still has another chance to add to her medal collection, having qualified for Tuesday’s balance beam final.

Lee is one of the world’s best on uneven bars, with one crazy-difficult routine and one slightly-less-crazy-difficult routine. But what makes both of those routines so impressive is that she connects skills together, giving herself not even the slightest break to reset or gather her energy before she does the next hard move.

On Sunday, however, she missed most of those connections. It was clear from the start of her routine that she was just slightly off, and that’s enough to throw everything out of whack. Her routine wound up with a 6.2 difficulty score, six-tenths lower than her hardest routine – which she did in both the team and all-around finals, by the way.

Lee was smiling and laughing afterward, and why shouldn’t she be? She’s already won the biggest prize there is at the Tokyo Olympics, becoming the fifth consecutive American woman to win the all-around gold.

The better to coordinate with her outfits.

Well done young lady, well done indeed!

Congratulations from Australia, Suni 😍

You go girl!

GSB baby!

Eeeevvvvvvvery color? (Cat in The Hat voice)

But gold looks so good on her…it’s definitely her color.
