Suni Lee, the reigning Olympic all-around gymnastics gold medalist faced a setback during the 2023 Gymnastics World Championships when she developed a recurrent kidney problem which also caused the discontinuance of her college gymnastics in Auburn. As a result of this health condition, Lee added forty-five pounds over the course of the year, which was mentally uncomfortable for her due to clothing fit problems and swollen eyes and very challenging to her athletics career.

Nevertheless, such formidable barriers were not able to deter the hard spirit of Lee who bounced back and mirrored those outstanding performances at the Tokyo Olympics. In an attempt to recover, Lee claimed that it was through deliberate changes in diet with other training schedule overhauls.
