The 2020 Olympic All-around champion, a 20-year-old prodigy was missing from the championship selection camp held on September 19 and 20 in Katy, Texas. Along similar lines, Lee will be absent from the Worlds as well. Her absence is a result of her ongoing non-gymnastics issues. Despite temporarily departing from the sport in April, Lee has found a unique way to participate in the championship, earning admiration from her supporters.

She reposted a USA Gym post featuring the final participants of the event that includes, Simone Biles, Leanne Wong, Shilese Jones, Sky Blakely, Kayla DiCello, and squad. 

Lee, with 1.6 million followers, refrained from adding a caption. Her silence spoke volumes, echoing her profound support for Team USA. While her fans know her power and skills, still various fans have a question as to what happened that she isn’t participating in the 2023 seasons.
