Two-time Olympian Suni Lee is proud of her performance at the Paris Olympics, saying “I gave it my all, and that’s all that matters. The 21-year-old Team USA gymnast won bronze in the uneven bars final on Sunday — her third medal of the 2024 Paris Games. On Monday, she fell during the balance beam final.

“I didn’t even think that I would make it this far,” Lee told CBS News on Monday. “So I’m trying to give myself a little bit of grace and be like, OK, we didn’t even think that we would be at the Olympics. So making it to the final was just kind of a bonus.”

In 2023, Lee was diagnosed with two kidney diseases that put her training schedule on hold and her Olympic dreams into question. But the Minnesota native launched a comeback of Olympic proportions.

Simone Biles “has definitely shown that nothing is impossible.”

“I feel like it’s just going to keep evolving and being absolutely amazing,” she said.

Biles, a 27-year-old 11-time Olympic medalist, returned to the Olympic stage this year after the “twisties” — where gymnasts lose their place in the air — pushed her to drop out of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Last week, Biles became the first American gymnast to win the Olympic individual all-around competition twice
