Suni Lee<\/a>\u2018s return to competition, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The documentary is untitled and being shopped to platforms.<\/p>\n\n\tLee was diagnosed with a chronic kidney disease that nearly ended her career in 2023, two years after her breakthrough at the (postponed due to COVID) 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where she won the all-around gold and a bronze medal for the uneven bars. After Lee battled back for the Paris 2024 games, adding two more bronze medals to her trophy case and a team gold, much speculation swirled that she would retire. Well, she hasn\u2019t done that.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThis is more than a documentary; it\u2019s an invitation to come along for the journey. I know there\u2019s more in me, and this is my chance to challenge myself, test my limits, and see what I\u2019m truly capable of,\u201d said Lee. \u201cThis isn\u2019t about proving anyone wrong. It\u2019s about showing up for myself and discovering what\u2019s possible. Through the setbacks and the victories, I\u2019m giving myself one more chance to find out what happens when I keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe created Fanatics Studios to bring fans closer than ever to the most groundbreaking and beloved stories in sports.
