    Where Is Minnesota?

    A crowd of people waited at the airport with flowers and signs to welcome Sunisa Lee home. The two-time Olympian had more medals than most female gymnasts in American history. And she was from Saint Paul!

    Nine months before the Paris Games, Lee had been sick with kidney disease. But she made a remarkable comeback! Fans throughout Minnesota, the United States, and the world had watched her earn three more Olympic medals for her growing collection, including a team all-around gold. When she returned home, family, friends, and fans celebrated. She was the latest in a long line of incredible athletes from Minnesota.
