Lee wowed the world with her gymnastics routines during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, taking home a gold medal in the women's all-around final, according to The New York Times. "This is a crazy experience. Like it doesn't even feel like real life. I'm going to be like, 'Oh my gosh am I an Olympic gold medalist?! No!'" she told Today's Hoda Kotb after her medal win.

Meanwhile, YouTube star Siwa has been praised for coming out at LGBTQ, and expressing herself in a way that her fans can relate. "I never wanted [my coming out] to be a big deal.

The outlet points out that "never before has someone with such a young fan base identified publicly as LGBTQ."
