    USA gymnast Suni Lee finished the 2024 Paris Olympics with three medals, one of which was gold. Her gold medal came in the team final, where she was joined by fellow Team USA gymnasts Simone Biles, Jordan Chiles, and Jade Carey.

    Lee also secured two bronze medals, one in the all-around final and one in the uneven bars. Her performances were spectacular to watch and even caught the attention of WNBA and Indiana Fever phenom Caitlin Clark.

    In a recent Instagram post, Lee highlighted her 2024 Olympic experience with five different photos of herself and Team USA.

    "2x olympian, 6x olympic medalist," Lee captioned her post with a heart emoji.

    Clark responded to Lee's post with a straightforward message: "fireeeee."

    Lee and Team USA tallied a final score of 171.296 in the team final, which was by far the highest score of all participating countries. Lee competed in the last three rotations during the event, with the vault as the only rotation she did not perform in.

    In the individual all-around and uneven bars finals, Lee secured scores of 56.465 and 14.800, respectively. Both scores were good enough for third place and gave her two more Olympic medals to add to her collection.

    Clark, the former Iowa Hawkeyes star, was notably snubbed from Team USA's women's basketball roster, but fans from other countries are still bringing signs in support of Clark to the Olympics. Even with her absence, Team USA is still a heavy favorite to bring home another Olympic gold medal.

    During her first WNBA season, Clark made the All-Star team, became the first rookie ever to record a triple-double, and has the Fever in position to make the playoffs.
