Olympic gymnastics all-around champion Suni Lee revealed that at the height of dealing with a kidney disease last year, she retained 45 pounds in water weight that made her question whether a return to top form was even possible

. “My motivation started to fall,” Lee said this week at the Team USA media summit. “I could not bend my legs the slightest, I couldn’t squeeze my fingers, my face was swollen,” Lee said. “I looked like a completely different person. It was very, very miserable.” She said she lived with constant pain, nausea and lightheadedness. “We have it under control now,' she said. 'We know what to do and the right medication to take.

A few days later, Lee became the fifth straight American woman to win the Olympic all-around title, using a dazzling set on uneven bars — her signature event — to edge Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade in a tight final that turned Lee into a star. On to Auburn University she went, but she left the Tigers upon falling ill after her sophomore season last year. She was never a sure thing to come back for Paris, but now she's expected to make the U.S. team, along with Biles, who is coming back as well.
