    Suni Lee couldn't help but be a little emotional after learning the Olympic feat that she achieved with fellow USA Gymnastics star Simone Biles.

    On Tuesday, Inside Gymnastics posted a little-known fact about Lee and Biles, revealing that the two are the only Americans to ever win multiple all-around medals in the Olympics.

    Prior to winning the bronze medal in the individual all-around at the Paris Olympics, Lee won gold in the same event during the Tokyo Olympics. Meanwhile, Biles dominated the individual all-around during the Rio Olympics before winning gold again in the City of Light.

    After seeing the incredible milestone, Lee shared it on her Instagram Stories and captioned it with two emojis of a face holding back tears.

    At just 21 years old, there should be plenty more opportunities for Suni Lee to add to her medal tally and maybe win the Olympic all-around again.

    The 2028 iteration of the quadrennial event is set to take place in Los Angeles, so she would have home support should she qualify.

    Lee has six Olympic medals in total: two gold, one silver and three bronze. Among other women's gymnastics stars in U.S. history, only Shannon Miller (seven) and Simone Biles (11) have more.
