Suni Lee took home her second medal at the Paris Olympics on Thursday, putting an exclamation point on her tremendous gymnastics comeback.
Lee earned bronze in the individual all-around final, coming in behind Team USA teammate Simone Biles and Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, who earned gold and silver, respectively.
