Fanatics Studios is entering the documentary space with what it hopes will be a perfect 10.
The joint venture between Fanatics and OBB, alongside Cookie Jar & a Dream Studios, which is Dick’s Sporting Goods’ in-house production studio, has greenlit a documentary following Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Suni Lee‘s return to competition, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The documentary is untitled and being shopped to platforms.
Lee was diagnosed with a chronic kidney disease that nearly ended her career in 2023, two years after her breakthrough at the (postponed due to COVID) 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where she won the all-around gold and a bronze medal for the uneven bars. After Lee battled back for the Paris 2024 games, adding two more bronze medals to her trophy case and a team gold, much speculation swirled that she would retire. Well, she hasn’t done that.
“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,” said Lee. “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.”
