Suni Lee Joins SI Swimsuit: A New Chapter for the Olympic Star

Suni Lee, the 21-year-old Olympic gymnast, is making waves again, but this time, it's not about her athletic prowess—she's been chosen as one of the latest athletes to feature in the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition. The magazine's editor-in-chief, MJ Day, couldn't be more excited. "We're kicking off our shoot season with a lineup of incredible female athletes who are redefining sports, " Day said. "These women, including Olympic medalists and world champions, aren't just breaking records; they're shattering stereotypes and inspiring young girls to dream big. " Lee's achievements are nothing short of remarkable. She snagged her first gold medal in the individual all-around competition at the 2020 Tokyo Games, which were delayed until 2021 due to the pandemic. She didn't stop there. This summer, at the Paris Games, she added another gold to her collection in the team competition. Her medal haul also includes a silver and bronze from Tokyo and two more bronzes from Paris. This feature in SI Swimsuit isn't just about showcasing beauty; it's about celebrating the power and influence of women in sports. Lee's involvement highlights the magazine's commitment to honoring women who are transforming the world of sports and inspiring future generations.
