In an exciting development for artistic gymnastics, Olympic gold medalist Sunisa Lee is set to compete at the World Cup in Baku next month to showcase her new element in the sport's code of points. Lee, who secured an all-around gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, expressed her desire to participate in the upcoming Winter Cup competition in Louisville, Kentucky, scheduled for 24th February. Her aim is to secure a spot in the World Cup in Baku and introduce her innovative element to the gymnastics world.
Lee's decision to compete in the Winter Cup comes after withdrawing from last September's U.S. World team selection event due to health-related issues concerning her kidneys. The Winter Cup will mark her return to the competition arena, and she hopes to deliver a stellar performance that boosts her chances for the World Cup, which is set to take place from 7th to 10th March in Baku.
