Suni Lee is cheering on her fellow teammate Jordan Chiles after it was announced the latter will be appearing on Season 34 of Dancing With the Stars, premiering on Tuesday, September 16. "I'm so excited. For me, it was such a fun experience. I know she's going to have the time of her life because that is so up her alley! She loves to dance, she's super creative, and I know she'll go super far. I'll be voting for her," the athlete, 22, exclusively told OK! during a media preview for the LEGO(R) She Built That Event, which invited kids to explore their passions through hands-on LEGO building activities and fireside chats with inspirational female leaders at STORIED in New York, Friday, September 5.

Lee, who competed on Season 30 of Dancing With the Stars, said she hasn't spoken to Chiles, 24, "too much" about the upcoming dance competition once the announcement was made. "I congratulated her, and I was like, 'That's so exciting!' I can't wait to watch, but I know she's going to go out there and be super confident. She's going to have the time of her life," she gushed over her Team USA women's artistic gymnastics teammate.

After getting close with the other gymnasts - Simone Biles, Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera - following the 2024 Olympics, she said it's been "so fun" and "amazing" to see "them all do their own thing.""I think we've all been doing gymnastics for so long that it's so fun to see each other step out of each other's comfort zones and be creative and see what we can achieve outside of it. It's been amazing to watch all of it," she shared.

The Minnesota native is also "trying everything" post-Olympics. "I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone, get my mind going, be creative and just find what I'm passionate about," she dished. "I'm still learning every single day, but I've been really passionate about maybe starting my own brand in the future, skincare, makeup, and I've been trying to get into acting. I'm just trying whatever works!" Lee noted she would "love" to be a Disney princess. "At this point, I'll take anything, but I think it would be cool to be Mulan or something. She's my favorite princess. She's so powerful and embodies everything I want to be. That would be the dream!" she stated, adding that she will take "whatever role" she can get, whether it's in TV or film. "If it's a cameo, I'm cool with that."

After Lee and her teammates won the gold medal in the women's team final in 2024, all eyes were on them and their skills. "It's such a surreal feeling, honestly. I grew up wanting to do flips every single day, so knowing that I could come out of it and be a role model for younger girls has been an amazing feeling. Honestly, I get too lost in the sauce sometimes, and I never give myself credit, so I always have to step back and realize the amount of things I've done to be able to inspire others. It's so exciting. I want people to come up to me and ask for my advice. It's a lot of fun," she said of mentoring others.

As for the advice she gives, she said, "Just be confident and trust yourself. You're the only person that knows how much you work you've put in and the only person that has put in the work. It's good to be nervous because if you're not, you don't care - just be yourself. Nothing more, nothing less."

As for what the future looks like, Lee said she hasn't "decided" if she will be training for the 2028 Olympics.

"We just hit a year of being done with the prior one. I've only been living in New York for a year, but it feels much longer than that!" she said. "I hav
