Ahead of the ceremony on July 16, Lee expressed in an interview, "I'm so excited. It's her first time on a red carpet. So it's really fun for the both of us. But she was the one person who actually believed in me whenever I was going through everything."
Lee had more to be happy about as the evening progressed. The six-time medalist reportedly walked away with the Best Comeback Athlete award at the ESPYS.
