    Suni Lee added to Team USA's dominant gymnastics showing at the Paris Olympics on Sunday, August 4.

    The 21-year-old Minnesota native secured the bronze medal in the women's uneven bars final, becoming the first U.S. woman ever to secure two medals in the event. She previously won bronze on the uneven bars at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020.

    Lee was the eighth and final participant, needing to beat a score of 14.766 posted by Belgium's Nina Derwael. She delivered in the clutch with a 14.800.

    Sunday's medal brings Lee's total count to three in Paris and six in her Olympic career.

    Her adorable reaction to the judge's final score on Sunday captured the hearts of spectators.

    The U.S. gymnast's comeback from two rare kidney diseases in 2023 continues to inspire millions as well.

    Due to severe swelling and other factors, Lee previously acknowledged the ailments resulted in her putting on nearly 40 pounds in a short period.
