Suni Lee Calls Paris Olympics Her ‘Redemption Tour’ Amid Kidney Disease Battle

Gymnast Suni Lee opened up about her experience at the 2024 Olympics in Paris and called it her ‘redemption tour’ amid her battle with kidney disease.

Suni, 21, previously won gold in the women’s individual all-around at the Tokyo games in 2021, as well as a bronze in the uneven bars and a silver team medal. Suni hasn’t revealed her exact diagnosis, though she previously told SELF magazine that her condition is “rare” and that her medical team believes that it could change.
