In her downtime, Lee has been frequently sharing multiple updates of her activities on social media. Recently she shared glimpses of visiting the US Open women's singles finals between Sabalenka and Aminisova.

"Haddd to get the honey deuce," Suni Lee wrote.

Along with this, she also uploaded a video of the players on the court on her story. Here is the snippet of the same:

The US Open women's singles final round was nabbed by Sabalenka, who dominated the clash against Anisimova, claiming a 6-3, 7-6(3) win.

Lee was last seen on the mat during the Paris Olympics, where she claimed three medals, including one gold in the team all-around event and two bronze in the uneven bars and the individual all-around event. Ever since this stellar campaign, the American has been away from the sport and is exploring options and opportunities, especially in the fashion world.

Suni Lee made her feelings known about taking a break from gymnastics

Suni Lee recently sat for an interview with Hoka TV, where she opened up about taking a break from gymnastics. She also discussed navigating hardships because of her kidney disease, which highly impacted her career in the sport.

Lee shared how her ongoing break from gymnastics has been one of the 'hardest' things for her to do. (0:30 onwards)

"Trying to learn how to live life without gymnastics has been the hardest thing. I've been doing gymnastics for 17 years, and I've never had a break from it," said Suni Lee.

Opening up about her kidney disease, she added (1:50 onwards):

"I left during my sophomore year because I ended up getting sick with three kidney diseases at the time. Now I have two. It was such a hard moment because I didn't know what was going on. Not knowing if I was ever going to do gymnastics again."

Amid her off-season, Suni Lee made multiple appearances at several fashion shows, and along with this, also became one of the athlete-models for the SI Swimsuit magazine.
