Olympics star Suni Lee showed she can win with her moves on the beams, uneven bars and gym mat … but can she do the same on the dance floor???
Well, we’re about to find out … ’cause the Team USA gold medalist announced Monday she’s going to compete in the upcoming season of “Dancing With The Stars!”
“I’m so excited,” the 18-year-old gymnast said. “See you all on the dance floor!”
Suni’s got moves, but can she stick the landing on #DWTS? 🏅🌟 @sunisalee_ pic.twitter.com/i4Lc3c6NP2

Unclear who will be in the rest of the field dancing against the Olympian — the full lineup is expected to be announced next month — but ya gotta figure the gymnast will be a big favorite to win The Mirrorball Trophy.
After all, she KILLED IT in Tokyo … winning the gold medal in the all-around competition, silver in the women’s team competition and bronze in the uneven bars.
Not sure how well that all translates to the salsa or the waltz — but, hey, it can’t hurt!!
FYI, this won’t be the first time a gymnast competes on “DWTS” — in 2016, Laurie Hernandez won the competition … and, in 2017, Simone Biles finished fourth.
The dance-off starts Sept. 20 … good luck!
