“It was just an incredibly hard journey,” Lee told TODAY’s Hoda Kotb after qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics. There were so many times where I thought about quitting and just giving up because I was so sick and it was just so hard to stay motivated, watching everybody get better, and I’m just like ‘I can’t even get back into the gym’ and constantly doubting myself. But once I had those people around me who lifted me up and supported me and just made sure that I was good, I knew that this is something that I wanted.”
