Suni Lee spoke about overcoming her struggles in an interview with NBC Olympics. The American athlete revealed that it was the first time her coaches had a student with two kidney diseases, so they brought about several changes in her training routine while preparing for a comeback.

Moreover, Lee revealed that she decided to take it day by day as it was a very tough process for her.

“My coaches have never had to deal with someone who has had two kidney diseases. And obviously, I’m like, ‘OK, I don’t know any other gymnasts that have two kidney diseases that have had to go through this.’ So it’s all a learning process. And we’re taking it day by day.," she said.

Lee's coaches modified her routines to accommodate her recovery process and aimed for gradual improvement over time. The Olympic gold medalist revealed that along with the physical aspect of the sport, she had to equally work hard on the mental aspect of the sport to compete at her full potential once again.
