At just 19-years-old, Lee has enjoyed an incredibly successful Olympic Games in Tokyo. She earned a gold medal in the individual all-around, claiming silver in the team and taking bronze on the uneven bars.

The team silver medal came after Biles withdrew from the event, having recorded a low score of 13.766 on the vault. Lee, Jordan Chiles and Grace McCallum still managed to score 166.096 points, finishing behind the Russian Olympic Committee and in front of Team GB.

Although Biles did receive criticism from some quarters for her decision to withdraw from five Olympic events, she has also received a lot of support and praise for prioritising her mental well-being ahead of sporting achievement.

Biles revealed she was “proud” of herself for earning a bronze medal today after a difficult week. Although the beam is not the apparatus she is strongest on, Biles still has three world titles in the discipline. 

"I didn't expect a medal today, I just wanted to go out there for me and that's what I did," she said.
