LSU’s famous for an incredible Olympic legacy. 22 Tigers represented 11 Olympic committees at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics across seven sports: softball, basketball, golf, aquatics, tennis, athletics and soccer. One sport that’s never had an LSU representative is gymnastics, but Aleah Finnegan is on a quest to change that starting at the Asian Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Singapore Friday.
Aleah was a member of Team USA multiple times and won team gold at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru. She retired from elite gymnastics after missing the 2020 Olympic team to focus on her collegiate career.
