They have not only weathered the rarified, if precarious road back to the Olympic Games, but are rapidly climbing the ranks of the sport’s most decorated gymnasts. Lee became a five-time Olympic medalist in Paris after clinching her second all-around medal Thursday, a bronze, and the pair helped lead the U.S.
