Suni Lee picks up her third medal in Paris

Lee’s six medals leave her one behind Shannon Miller for the second most by an American gymnast.

PARIS (AP) — Sunisa Lee of the U.S. picked up her third medal in Paris and sixth of her Olympic career in the uneven bars final Sunday by grabbing bronze -- exactly where she finished in Tokyo three years ago.

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 after helping the Simone Biles-led U.S. women claim team gold last Tuesday. Lee followed it up two days later with a bronze in the all-around behind Biles and Rebeca Andrade of Brazil.

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 Sunday.

Kaylia Nemour of Algeria delivered the country’s first gold medal in gymnastics, putting together a thrilling routine.
