    Suni Lee Has Priceless Reaction To Getting Her Own Olympic Trading Cards

    By Michael Gallagher,

    Winning her second gold medal plus two bronzes at the 2024 Paris Olympics is a memory USA gymnast Suni Lee will likely never forget.

    And now, she won’t have to.

    The 21-year-old was commemorated with her very own Olympic trading cards, which she proudly showed off on social media. Lee posted a photo of both cards to her Instagram story on Friday with the caption “I canttt so freaking cute.”

    One card shows her holding her gold medal with a bowl of noodles while the other shows her eating the noodles with a pair of chop sticks — both a tip of the cap to her viral moment when she admitted she was craving pho during a post-event interview.

    Lee won gold in Paris in the team final along with Simone Biles, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera, and her two bronze medals came in uneven bars and the all-around final.

    Her three-medal performance was a strong comeback for Lee, who dubbed the 2024 Games as a redemption tour after suffering chronic kidney issues that threatened her chances of competing in Paris.

    “I've been trying to give myself grace for not being, I guess fully back to normal Suni,” Lee told People.com on Aug. 5. “But ever since I got sick, I feel like normal Suni is — she's just a different girl now. … I think everything just means so much more because I didn't think that I would be here.”

    In her Olympic career, Lee has two gold, one silver and three bronze medals in two Olympic Games — Tokyo (2021) and Paris (2024).
