At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Suni Lee wholeheartedly witnessed her gymnastics career take a 180-degree turn. As a result of Simone’s ‘Twisties’, the GOAT magically handed over the all-round gold to the 20-year-old. Though, after three years, the role reversal aimed to dishearten Lee, but that didn’t happen. The unfortunate non-gymnastics related kidney issues worried her but it was nothing to lose sleep over as she is bound to get better.
Earlier this year, in February, when Lee woke up to a swollen foot, she knew something was up. Her doctors later confirmed her kidney issue. Health problems are part of life, thankfully, Suni has other things going for her which is bringing her joy. GK Elite, the iconic gymnastic apparel brand, boasts the star gymnast as a part of the team. Besides Simone Biles, Lee also secured a place among the signature athletes in GK’s achievement book. Interestingly, the $50 billion worth retailer sells the dazzling leotards to the budding gymnasts.
