Suni Lee captured the bronze medal in the uneven bars on Sunday for her third medal of the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
Six months ago U.S. gymnast Suni Lee didn’t think she’s even be able to compete.
On Sunday, Lee claimed her sixth Olympic medal — third in these Games — with a stirring come-from-behind 14.800 bronze finish in the uneven bars.
Kaylia Nemour — raised in France but competing for Algeria — scored a stellar 15.700 to claim gold, the first-ever for an African nation in gymnastics.
Qiu Qiyuan laid down an early marker with a 15.500 that stood up for silver.
But Lee caught Belgian Nina Derwael (14.766) for the bronze with a flawless routine that seemed impossible just as half a year ago.2024 PARIS OLYMPICS
“I think this one just meant so much more because last Olympics, I got the bronze medal, but it obviously wasn’t the routine that I wanted,” Lee said in a TV interview.
