Gold medal gymnast Suni Lee returning ahead of LA28
United States gymnast Suni Lee announced on social media Tuesday that she is returning to the sport after not competing since the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Lee, 23, helped the United States win gold in the team competition at Paris and grabbed individual bronze medals in the all-around competition and the uneven bars.
The commitment to return to competition for the St. Paul, Minn., native comes two years before the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Lee’s comment on an Instagram post read, “I’m back.” “I know what I’m capable of. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get there,” Lee said in a short video that included highlights of her gymnastics career. “Back in the gym. We’ll see.”
The video ends with the words, “This is more than a comeback, stay tuned,” typed onto a black screen.
Lee also competed at the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo where she won the all-around gold medal and helped the U.S. to a runner-up finish in the team competition. She also won a bronze in the uneven bars.
