“You could possibly really feel the stress within the room. I imply, the group shushing us for cheering like we had been, we did not like that as a result of it is simply so silent in there,” Lee, one in every of 4 finalists to undergo a fall off the beam, mentioned after inserting sixth.
“I like listening to my teammates cheer for me.”
