Lee qualified for the women's 200 m freestyle at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 2:02.61 from the World Championships in Melbourne, Australia.[3][4] She challenged seven other swimmers in heat two, including Estonia's three-time Olympian Elina Partõka.
