MINNEAPOLIS — Florida Gator gymnast Leanne Wong was named to the 2024 Olympic gymnastics team Sunday as a replacement athlete, according to the University of Florida.
This is Wong's second Olympic berth as a replacement athlete, UF says. The senior attended the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
Wong ended competition Sunday landing her Cheng vault to earn the third-highest vault mark (14.50) of the evening, UF said.
"Day 1 wasn't super strong but I came into Day 2 wanting to leave it all out there and that's what I did today," Wong said. "I'm super proud of my new vault. I never would have imagined myself competing it at the Olympic Trials so I'm super grateful for that."
The gymnastics team was officially announced Sunday after the final day of Olympic Trials in Minneapolis.
