Suni Lee has seen her fair share of troubles when it comes to health, as she was diagnosed with a rare kidney issue. She had to prematurely quit her gymnastics career at Auburn Gymnastics in 2023 and also missed out on several important competitions that year.

In an interview with Yahoo Sports in October 2024, she discussed her participation at the 2028 LA Olympics.

"The Olympics just happened, so I am trying to give myself a little bit of grace and let my body and my mental health rest as much as possible because my body went through a lot, especially with the kidney disease, then getting COVID, having to deal with the injuries as well. So, right now, it’s not something I’m thinking about, but it’s definitely still at the back of my mind," said Suni Lee.

Suni Lee concluded her 2024 gymnastics season by competing at the Paris Olympics, where she won three medals, including one gold and two bronze.
