He's one thrilled father!
What does he think his daughter was feeling in the aftermath of her win?
“I don’t think she can have any words to express, either. I could see it in her eyes that she was crying, so I know she’s excited and happy and we’re so proud of her.” John Lee has yet to speak with his daughter since she won the gold medal but he knows what he wants to tell her when he does. “I’m going to tell her I’m so proud of her," he said."I want to tell her team that no matter what, you all support her and I want to tell Simone that she truly is the GOAT because she let my baby girl bring the gold medal.”Drew Weisholtz is a reporter for TODAY Digital, focusing on pop culture, nostalgia and trending stories.
