Suni Lee followed up her dazzling performance in Tokyo with a repeat bronze-medal winning routine in Paris on Sunday.
Lee's score of 14.800 was good enough for a bronze medal.
With the win, Lee now has six Olympics medals. In Paris, Lee has already won gold with the U.S. gymnastics team in the team final and bronze in the all-around event. Her three medals in 2024 ties her medal haul from Tokyo, where she won the bronze in the uneven bars, gold in the all-around, and silver in the team event.
She's now tied for third-most Olympic medals by an American woman gymnast. She's tied with Aly Raisman, and only one behind Shannon Miller.
"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, so this time I was like 'you know what, even if I make podium and I get third place, whatever, it's better than the routine I did last time,'" Lee told NBC Olympics. "I'm so happy this time around because I feel like I did everything in my power just keep the consistency coming."
