American gymnast Suni Lee recently had a fun interaction with rapper and actor Snoop Dogg while explaining her gymnastics move. The 20-year-old is currently preparing to compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Lee and many other athletes from Team USA turned for the fun interview.
In April, Suni Lee made headlines by taking a break from gymnastics due to an unrevealed kidney illness. However, after months of slow recovery, the gymnast returned at the 2023 US Classic. She achieved a silver medal in the balance beam category. Later, the gymnast skipped the national and world championships due to her kidney condition.
Despite the odds, Lee is continuing her training to make it to the 2024 Paris Olympics. Recently, she appeared in an interactive session with NBC Olympics’s primetime coverage host Snoop Dogg. The artist showed Lee a picture of her move from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. He asked her about it,
“What is this move called?”
Suni Lee replied,
“It’s an aerial… a cartwheel without hands.”
To this, Dogg impressively asked Lee,
“On that little bitty piece of wood there?”
Saying this, he humorously thumped his feet while sitting. It made Lee burst into laughter.
At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Suni Lee won a gold medal in all-around, silver in the team, and bronze in the uneven bars event.
