Lehman was part of the U.S. speed skating team. In January, residents gave him a sendoff to Sochi.
"Every person that skates has dreams about the Olympics because that's the pinnacle of all speed skating—that's what everyone wants to do," Lehman said. "So as soon as I started to compete and (started) doing well—that's when I wanted to do it (go to the Olympics)."
