​After Suni Lee fell off the balance beam in her last routine of an otherwise successful Paris Olympics, the first thing she told coach Jess Graba was that she needed to come back for a 2028 Olympic bid to rectify it.Graba took it as sarcasm at the time. Now it’s real.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementLee announced a return to gymnastics in a video posted to her social media on Tuesday, two years before the Los Angeles Games Opening Ceremony.”I know what I’m capable of,” Lee, who last competed at the 2024 Paris Games, said over a montage that included footage of her past competitions. “I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get there.”The video was captioned, “i’m back.””This is more than a comeback,” was displayed at the end of the video. “Stay tuned.”In conjunction with the video, it was announced Tuesday that a documentary about Lee is in production.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“This is more than a documentary; it’s an invitation to come along for the journey. I know there’s more in me, and this is my chance to challenge myself, test my limits, and see what I’m truly capable of,” Lee said in a press release. “This isn’t about proving anyone wrong. It’s about showing up for myself and discovering what’s possible. Through the setbacks and the victories, I’m giving myself one more chance to find out what happens when I keep going.”Lee, 23, won Olympic all-around gold in Tokyo and team gold in Paris among six total Olympic medals.For Paris, she came back from two different types of kidney diseases — diagnosed in early 2023, keeping her from serious training until early 2024 — to make her second Olympics and win three medals at a second consecutive Games.Lee will train for her comeback at her longtime gym — Midwest Gymnastics in Little Canada, Minnesota, run by coaches Ali Lim and Jess Graba.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”Ali and I have coached Suni since she was a little girl in this gym, and watching her decide to chase this again is something I’ll never take for granted,” Graba said in a post on the gym’s website. “She’s already given the sport everything, so for her to walk back through these doors and go after 2028 on her own terms, with our whole team behind her, it means the world. We’re just going to do the work and enjoy every day of it.”Graba later said by phone that Lee has been “talking on and off” about a return for “a little while.””I think the goals, for the most part, are she wants to see what she can do when she gets a full amount of prep time (for an Olympic run-up) and as healthy as she can be,” Graba said. “The COVID (pandemic) in Tokyo, and then with the kidney issue going into Paris, I think it just felt like, for her maybe, she had more in the tank she didn’t get to show.”Lee, who moved to New York City after the Paris Games, was back home in Minnesota earlier this month, visited Graba and made the comeback concrete.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”To see her d
