Lee shared that it felt “absolutely insane” that she is headed to Paris for the 2024 Olympics alongside Simone Biles, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera. When broaching the idea of returning to gymnastics, Lee had to modify her training to accommodate her condition as she struggled with symptoms, including swelling, cramping, headaches, hot flashes and cold spells. While at the Team USA summit, Lee revealed that she was in remission and was working on getting back to the same level she was at during the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, where she walked away with gold, silver and bronze medals.
