Suni Lee Earns First Collegiate Perfect Score And Makes NCAA History

Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee has already made NCAA history twice during her freshman year at Auburn competing in gymnastics.

On Friday night in a meet against Kentucky, Lee made history by debuting the Nabieva for the first time in NCAA history. The skill is G-rated, which translates to the most difficult of gymnastic skills.

The Nabieva, named after Russian gymnast Tatiana Olegovna Nabieva who introduced the skill, consists of laying vertically over the high bar, swinging around, followed by passing over the bar backwards and then grabbing it again, according to Yahoo! Sports.
