It was her belief that the bronze medal probably means more to her than the gold medal in the All-Around event. Since this was the event that she thought was her forte, Lee confessed that she was kind of sad that she got only a bronze.

?There were so many times in my bar routine where I could have just given up and jumped off but I didn?t and now I have a bronze medal,? she said. ?I thought I was done.?

The negativity that the athletes have to face on social media should be secondary to such displays of immense trust and pride.?Yet, it is human to let the mind wander about things that one might not ideally wish to focus on. Hence, it is completely understandable that Lee would want to take a break to focus on her goals.?
