Auburn gymnast Suni Lee announced Monday that she is dealing with a non-gymnastics related kidney issue that has kept her out of meets. The Tigers’ medical staff did not clear Lee, who has been out of action for the past month, to train or compete over that span.
Lee, who already announced that this would be her final collegiate season, will now shift her focus towards preparing for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“It’s been challenging to end my Auburn career early, but I am thankful for all the love and support,” she said in a statement. “I will not stop pursuing my dreams for a bid to Paris in 2024. In fact, this experience has sharpened my vision for the future.”
