Try not to flip over this news: Suni Lee is back.
After a chronic kidney disease diagnosis nearly sidelined her permanently in 2023, the 23-year-old—who went on to win three medals at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris—announced her time on the uneven bars isn’t over.
And she has her eyes set on the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.
“I kow what I’m capable of,” she announced via voiceover in a July 14 video. “I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get there.”
The 30-second clip sees Lee walking through a training room, remarking quietly to herself, “Back in the gym. Crazy.”
Accompanying the sequence are throwback clips chronicling Lee’s gymnastics journey, which to-date has seen her earn six Olympic medals and three World Championship titles.
The gymnast aptly captioned her announcement, “I’m back.”
And her return was immediately met with major excitement from peers and fans alike. Team USA figure skater Madison Chock called the news “amazing” while Lee’s fellow gymnast Jordan Chiles wrote alongside a red heart, “She’s back!!!!”
