Suni Lee Announces Comeback to Gymnastics After Two Years

Suni Lee, a six-time Olympic medalist, has announced her return to gymnastics after a two-year absence. The 23-year-old gymnast, who won team gold and individual bronze on the uneven bars at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, revealed her comeback as she prepares for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

Lee's return follows a challenging period marked by health issues, including a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease in 2023, which contributed to her struggles with depression and self-doubt. Despite these challenges, she expressed her determination to return to the sport, stating, "I’m back...

I know I’m capable, and I will do whatever it takes to get back in the gym." Lee's announcement comes as she aims to regain her competitive edge, similar to fellow American gymnast Simone Biles, who also made a comeback after a break from competition.
