Suni Lee will compete against her American teammate Simone Biles in the all-around final. Suni Lee's health issues have been a testament to her toughness as it had made it almost impossible for her to perform the sport of gymnastics. She gained over forty pounds and practically had to learn how to do the sport again. Suni Lee is an inspiration to those who refuse to give up.
