[5] At the end of July, Wong competed at the Secret U.S. Classic, where she placed ninth in the all-around and sixth on vault. [6]

Wong competed at her first national championships in August. Wong continued to impress on vault with a two-night score of 29.45, winning the national title on the apparatus ahead of Maile O'Keefe and Emma Malabuyo. Wong also placed third on floor exercise as well as fifth in the all-around behind O'Keefe, Malabuyo, Eaker, and Adeline Kenlin with a combined total of 108.250 points. After the championships, she was named to the junior national team. [7]

2018

With O'Keefe, Malabuyo, Eaker, and Kenlin all moving to the senior level, Wong entered the season as one of the top American junior competitors. On April 8, Wong was named to the Junior Pan American Championships team. In advance of this competition, she competed at the Auburn National Qualifier, where she won the all-around with upgraded routines on the uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise. [8]

Wong traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina in June to make her international debut at the Junior Pan American Championships. Competing on a team alongside Jordan Bowers, Tori Tatum, and JaFree Scott, Wong won a gold medal in the team competition. Individually, she won the bronze medal in the all-around behind Bowers and Zoe Allaire-Bourgie of Canada. Two days later, Wong competed in the event finals on vault, uneven bars, and balance beam, placing second on each apparatus behind Tatum, Bowers, and Allaire-Bourgie, respectively.

Wong competed at the GK U.S. Classic at the end of July. She won the all-around by over a point ahead of American Classic champion Kayla DiCello and Junior Pan American champion Bowers with a score of 55.350. [9] She also placed first on vault and floor exercise and third on balance beam. Three weeks later, Wong competed at the 2018 National Championships. With her victory at the Classic, she entered the meet as one of the contenders for the title along with fellow national team members Bowers, DiCello, Tatum, and Sunisa Lee. [10] After two days of competition in which Wong hit all eight of her competitive routines, she became the 2018 Junior all-around champion ahead of DiCello and Lee. Her two-day combined total of 112.250 would have placed her 4th in the senior division. Additionally, she won the national title on floor exercise, was the runner-up on vault behind DiCello and on uneven bars behind Lee, and placed sixth on balance beam. Her performance secured her spot on the junior national team for the second consecutive year.

Senior gymnastics career

2019

It was announced that Wong would make her senior debut and represent the USA at the 2019 American Cup alongside second year senior Grace McCallum in March. [11] On March 2, Wong won the American Cup title with a score of 56.765, beating McCallum in second and the two previous World all-around silver medalists, Canada's Ellie Black (2017) and Japan's Mai Murakami (2018), who tied for third place. [12] She debuted numerous upgrades, most notably a piked double Arabian (Dos Santos I) to immediate stag jump as her first tumbling pass on floor exercise. She posted the highest scores of the competition on vault and balance beam.

In June, after the conclusion of the American Classic, Wong was named as one of the eight athletes being considered for the team to compete at the 2019 Pan American Games along with Sloane Blakely, Kara Eaker, Aleah Finnegan, Morgan Hurd, Shilese Jones, Sunisa Lee, and Riley McCusker. [13]

At the 2019 GK US Classic Leanne Wong finished fifth in the all-around behind Simone Biles, Riley McCusker,Grace McCallum, and Kara Eaker. She also finished tied for eighth on bars with Jordan Chiles, fourth on beam behind Eaker, McCusker, and Biles, and tied for fifth on floor with McCusker. After the competition she was named to the team to compete at the Pan American Games alongside Finnegan, Hurd, McCusker, and Eaker. [14]

At the Pan American Games Wong only competed on uneven bars and balance beam. She contributed scores on both events to the team's gold medal winning performance. She qualified to the uneven bars final in second behind McCusker and would've qualified to the balance beam final in third if not for teammates Eaker and McCusker posting higher scores than her as a maximum of two gymnasts per country may participate in each individual final. [15] [16] During the uneven bars final Wong won the silver medal, once again finishing behind McCusker. [17] [18]

At the 2019 U.S. National Championships, Wong competed all four events on the first day of competition but ended the night in fifth place after she received a low score on floor exercise. Her attempted second skill, a laid-out 3.5 twist, was downgraded to a laid-out triple twisting due to under-rotation, thus invalidating the intended triple twist she then performed for her final skill. [19] On the second day of competition, she performed cleanly and placed fifth in the all-around behind Simone Biles, Sunisa Lee, Grace McCallum, and Morgan Hurd. Additionally she won bronze on the balance beam behind Biles and club mate Kara Eaker. As a result she was added to the national team. [20]

In September Wong competed at the World team selection camp and placed eighth with a score of 54.750 after falling on her vault. She posted the second best score on bars behind Sunisa Lee. Following the two-day camp she was named as a non-traveling alternate for the team along with Morgan Hurd. [21] [22]

2020

In March Wong was selected to compete at the City of Jesolo Trophy alongside Kara Eaker, Shilese Jones, and Sophia Butler. However, the USA decided to not send a team due to the coronavirus outbreak in Italy. [23] In November Wong signed her National Letter of Intent with the Florida Gators, starting in the 2021–22 school year. [2]

2021

In April, Wong competed at the American Classic and placed second in the all-around behind Skye Blakely. She won the vault title, scoring 14.400 on her double-twisting yurchenko. She placed eleventh on beam after grabbing the beam on a turn and tied for sixth on the floor after going out of bounds and falling. [24] In May, Wong competed at the U.S. Classic where she finished sixth in the all-around, fifth on floor exercise, and second on balance beam behind Simone Biles. [25] At the National Championships Wong finished fifth in the all-around. Additionally she won bronze on floor exercise behind Biles and Kayla DiCello. As a result she was named to the national team and selected to compete at the Olympic Trials. [26] At the Olympic Trials, Wong finished eighth in the all-around and second on floor exercise. She was named as an alternate for the Olympic team. [27]

In October Wong was selected to compete at the 2021 World Championships alongside Kayla DiCello, Konnor McClain, and eMjae Frazier. [28] While there she qualified for the all-around final in second place behind Angelina Melnikova, the floor exercise final in third place behind Mai Murakami and Melnikova, and the balance beam final in fourth place. In the all around final, she clinched silver behind Angelina Melnikova and in front of teammate Kayla Dicello. In event finals, she placed fourth on balance beam after grabbing the beam on her acrobatic series, and won the bronze medal on floor exercise.

2022

In July 2022, Wong returned to elite competition at the 2022 U.S. Classic. She competed in the all-around and scored a 54.400, winning the title. She also placed first balance beam and third on the floor exercise. On the uneven bars, she fell on her Bhardwaj and placed eighth. [29] [30] In August Wong competed at the National Championships. She only competed on the uneven bars and balance beam. She co-won the national title on the uneven bars alongside Shilese Jones and finished fifth on balance beam. [31]

In October Wong was selected to compete at the 2022 World Championships alongside Skye Blakely, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, and Shilese Jones. [32] During the qualification round Wong only competed on vault and helped the USA qualify first as a team. [33] During the team final Wong competed on the uneven bars, helping the USA win their sixth consecutive team gold medal. [34]

2023

Before the 2023 domestic elite season, Wong had already qualified to the 2023 U.S. National Gymnastics Championships by virtue of being a 2022 U.S. World team member. At the 2023 U.S. Classic in August, she finished second in the all-around with a score of 54.100, behind returning Simone Biles and ahead of Joscelyn Roberson. [35] She then placed third at the national championships, behind Biles and 2022 World Championship teammate Shilese Jones. Her placement gave her an automatic invitation to the World and Pan American Game selection camp, where she finished fifth in the all-around on the first day and fourth on the second day, where only two events were contested. As a result, she was selected to represent the United States at the 2023 World Championships alongside Biles, Skye Blakely, Jones, Joscelyn Roberson, and alternate Kayla DiCello. [36] Wong was the only American female gymnast to make all three World teams in the 2021-2024 quadrennium.

At the World Championships, Wong competed on all four events in qualification and helped the USA qualify in first place to the team final. She placed 11th in the all-around, behind teammates Simone Biles and Shilese Jones, and 10th on vault, behind teammates Biles and Joscelyn Roberson. She was excluded from the all-around final and the second reserve position for the vault final by the two-per-country rule.

In the team final, Wong was named to the balance beam lineup after Skye Blakely fell during qualification. Then, after Roberson was injured during warmups and withdrew from the team final, Wong took her place on vault and floor exercise, helping the United States win its record seventh consecutive World women's team title. After Roberson and Jessica Gadirova withdrew from the vault final, Wong competed (along with first and second reserves Ellie Black and Csenge Bácskay), placing seventh. [37] [38]

2024

Wong began the elite season competing at the Core Hydration Classic where she placed seventh in the all-around and won bronze on vault. [39] At the National Championships Wong placed eighth in the all-around and fourth on floor exercise. As a result she qualified to the Olympic Trials. [40]

At the Olympic trials, she placed seventh in the all-around, third on vault, fifth on uneven bars, seventh on balance beam, and ninth on floor, and was named an alternate for Team USA at the 2024 Summer Olympics. [41] Wong ended the year competing at the Swiss Cup where she was partnered with men's national team member Fuzzy Benas. They were eliminated after the first round and finished ninth overall. [42]
