Sunisa Lee, the 2020 all-around champion and six-time Olympic medalist, announced her return to gymnastics on Tuesday, aiming for the 2028 Los Angeles Games. The 23-year-old posted a video on Instagram saying she was back in the gym and ready to resume training.
Lee's Olympic Achievements and Break
Lee took a break after the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she helped the United States win team gold and earned bronze in the all-around and uneven bars. She joins teammate Jade Carey, who has already returned to competition, in targeting LA 2028.
Impact on US Gymnastics
Lee's return bolsters the US women's gymnastics team, adding depth and experience as they prepare for the next Olympic cycle. Her decision comes about two years before the Los Angeles Games, giving her ample time to build toward another Olympic appearance.
