Algeria’s Kaylia Nemour won gold with a score of 15.700 and China’s Qiu Qiyuan took silver with a 15.500.
It was Lee's third medal of the Paris Games, after helping Team USA win gold in the team final and and taking bronze in the all-around. Lee was the only American to compete in the uneven bars final, with 10-time Olympic medal winner Simone Biles failing to qualify by tenths of a point after placing ninth.
"I just wanted to prove to myself that I could do it," Lee told reporters after that bronze-medal win, "because I didn’t think that I could."
Even though she had already done it once before.
