PARIS — Three years ago, an Olympic bronze medal in the uneven bars left Suni Lee almost in tears from disappointment. On Sunday, the same result left her incandescent with joy.
She spent the two years, 364 days since this event in Tokyo stewing about a series of mistakes that left her in third only by attrition as other competitors made worse errors. But in Paris, competing in what her coach, Jess Graba, called “the best bars final I’ve seen in I don’t know how long,” she made herself proud.
