Like Simone Biles, Suni Lee also made everyone proud at the Paris Olympics with an impressive performance of three medals. However, this phenomenal performance was even more remarkable, since the American gymnast had bounced back from a career threatening kidney ailment.

When asked about her further ambitions, Lee responded in an exclusive interview with the Glamour portal,

"I don’t need any more adversity. I don’t want people to feel bad for me. I just want to go into the gym and work hard."

"I don’t think I would want there to be a huge story. I’d just want to work my butt off in the gym every single day and get everything that I deserved at the Olympics. You know? It shouldn’t be deeper than that," she further added.

Suni Lee suffered from a rare kidney ailment, which led to a swollen body, that made her miss out on many crucial events in the 2023 season. However, the athlete bounced from these setbacks to qualify in time for the Paris Olympics.

Though she didn't manage to defend her individual all-around title from the Tokyo Olympics, Lee managed a respectable bronze medal, apart from winning the gold medal in the team all-around event.
