The six-time Olympic medalist resumes training two years before the Los Angeles Games.
Sunisa Lee has announced her return to gymnastics, signaling her intent to compete in a third Olympic Games. According to reporting from The Guardian, the 23-year-old athlete shared a video on Instagram on Tuesday saying she has returned to the gym and is ready to resume work.
Lee, who is the all-around champion from the 2020 Tokyo Games and a six-time Olympic medalist, had been taking a break following the 2024 Paris Olympics. During the Paris Games, Lee contributed to the United States winning team gold and secured individual bronze medals in both the uneven bars and the all-around competition.
As the sports world looks toward the Los Angeles 2028 Games, Lee is the most recent member of the 2024 Olympic squad to commit to a comeback. The Guardian notes that other gold medalists from the Paris team, including Jade Carey, have already returned to competition.
