"I want some pho. I’ve been craving pho or some type of soup," Lee said, adding wherever she looked in Paris, she can’t seem to find it.

The interview was reminiscent of when Lee won the all-around final in Tokyo. There, after walking off the top of the podium, she was asked a similar question. A reporter asked how she would celebrate her big win, and Lee’s response was simple.

"I don’t even know; I'm going to go eat a pizza. That's all I've been craving this whole time."

Lee will return to her home state of Minnesota as the third-most decorated American Olympic gymnast of all time, a title she shares with Aly Raisman.

Team USA gymnast Suni Lee clinched her third medal of the 2024 Paris Olympics by winning bronze in uneven bars Sunday. It’s her third medal in Paris, previously capturing gold in the women’s team all-around and bronze in the individual all-around.
