Lee was Team USA’s only chance at a medal in the women’s uneven bars final.
WASHINGTON — Days after clinching a medal in the all-around competition, Suni Lee is atop the podium once more.
The American gymnast won a bronze medal in the women’s uneven bars final.
Lee, who helped Simone Biles and the rest of the U.S. women win a team gold earlier this week, was the only gymnast representing the U.S. in the competition.
Algeria’s Kaylia Nemour earned gold over taking China’s Qiu Qiyuan, who settled for silver.
Lee has spent much of the last 15 months dealing with multiple kidney diseases that have limited her training. She didn’t really get serious about Paris until December. And seven months later she’s already picked up three medals.
Lee’s six medals leave her one behind Shannon Miller for the second most by an American gymnast. Lee could match Miller in the balance beam final on Monday.
